Head on over to the overdue, over-sized 33rd installment of RWCW, covering eight weeks of important economic developments and a historic campaign. Who among our usual gang would rise to the occasion? Who would flirt with reality-based satire? And who would stand athwart history saying, “Stop! Everything is the Democrats’ fault”…?

Right-Wing Cartoon Watch #31 (6/16/08 - 7/20/08)


The 31st installment of RWCW is here, covering five weeks of newsy goodness. Thrill to the newest mock outrage! Shake at the latest recycled smear! Marvel at the sight of conservatives attacking key parts of the Constitution - except the Second Amendment, of course. Plus, The New Yorker and its critics horn in on our act! (Well, sorta.)

Right-Wing Cartoon Watch #30 (4/7/08 - 6/15/08)


The new installment is here! Check out the 30th, long-delayed, super-sized installment of RWCW, covering eleven weeks of election mayhem, skyrocketing gas prices, and um... surely other things happened elsewhere in the world, too?

About the Series

Comedians, artists and certainly political cartoonists tend to possess an anti-authoritarian, skeptical, irreverent streak. This makes the staunchly conservative cartoonist an especially odd bird.

Right-Wing Cartoon Watch seeks to highlight far right cartoons, but also document the broader range of opinion from conservative cartoonists on the hot issues of the day. While a primary goal is to challenge GOP talking points and fallacies, we also seek to celebrate the fine American tradition of editorial cartooning - and have a little fun in the process.

Which cartoonists dare to criticize their own party? Who literally seems to illustrate GOP talking points? Who are their favorite targets? Who mocks liberals - and who seems to truly hate them? Who's funny? Who's independently minded and who's a hack? Read, and decide, for yourself!

Right-Wing Cartoon Watch #29 (2/1/08 — 4/6/08)


The 29th, long-delayed, super-sized installment of RWCW, covering nine weeks, is finally here, with conservatives overwhelmingly focusing on the Democratic presidential race. If all the scandals, real, manufactured, underreported and overblown are already slipping from your memory, never fear! We're here to, um, help.

Right-Wing Cartoon Watch #28 (12/17/07 — 1/27/08)


(Baby Jesus weighs in on the election.)

The 28th installment of RWCW is here, covering six weeks, with the emphasis on the new year. It's been a crazy political month, with tight races for the presidential nomination in both parties, pundits more blatantly wrong than usual, and scandals ranging from the overblown to the manufactured. Meanwhile, the greatest threat ever known to democracy conservatism — since the previous one, that is — spurred our right-wing cartoonists into action!

Who would be the focus of their ire? Who? Who? (I'm sure the suspense is just killing you.)
