I love the in the middle with the mine shaft passing Glenn Beck. Is that a Dan Murphy? Sadly, the reference to Carol James is not far off either. - G

Georgina: Yeah this is from a Canadian cartoonist and you would know about the NDP provincial leader, coming from BC. I liked the reference to Hockey Night In Canada co-host Don Cherry's wardrobe.

I loved them! Wanted to stop by to say hello since we hang out in the same bloggerhoods. There's nothing like the visual impact of an excellent cartoon.

Heh, heh. The UN 'toon reminded me of the one that appeared just after Kim Campbell became PM: Her party only held two seats in the House which were depicted by "His" and "Hers" outhouses on Parliament Hill.

All were good, albeit I don't have the Canadian perspective on the Canadian cartoons, but the one that really got me:

Dos Cervezas Por Favor!

Lauren: I'm glad you stopped in. I love what editorial cartoonists do. I carry the best I come across every Sunday.

Quirks: I thought that was hilarious. I'be been to Costa Rica and Panama and that phrase always came in handy.

00dozo:Ha, ha...that's a good one. Wish I'd seen it. I do have a couple of collections from the 80s - one by Roy Peterson and another by Aislin. I interviewed them when I was a political reporter. They're both hilarious.

dufus: I think it appeared in the Toronto Star or the Globe & Mail - I don't really recall.

A political reporter interviewing political cartoonists?? Ha! There's a couple of walls upon which I would've liked to have been the proverbial fly! And it's no wonder you're so punny.

00dozo: If only I could draw. I really envy those guys.
Leeuna said…
Great cartoons, Dufe. I especially liked the last one. It kinda says it all. :)
nonamedufus said…
Leeuna:It summed that issue up nicely didn't it.
Nicky said…
Yup, my favourite is the last one. I had a devil of a time choosing a favourite though. They're all pretty funny.
nonamedufus said…
Nicky: Yeah, that last one is spot on.
Paladino makes it embarrassing to be from New York! At least I can vote against him!

Now, please pass the Dos Equis!

Boom Boom: (Hey did you change your name?) I'm really, really tired of all the American political attack ads on TV. But your elections are soon, aren't they. Then we can go back to those drug ads that spend half their time telling you of their adverse side effects. Geez, that sounds eerily similar to those attack ads!
I've missed the Sunday Funnies for the last couple of weeks and now just catching up. Looks like a good batch, especially as everyone says the last one. Spot on.

UR: Good to see you up and around. How's that man-cold?

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy!  You know what happens on Imagination D
