Conservative political cartoons. Love them or hate them. I love 'em. Rather than shrilly nonsense most of these conservative political cartoonists make lots of sense that address the, what else, shrilly liberal and MSM crowds of today. People don’t read the comics to get banged over the head with their conspiracy theories and racist stereotypes much like Pat Oliphant's.
In the world of political conservative cartoons we have Jim Huber of Conservative Cartoons, the ever so famous Cox and Forkum, the intrepid and funny up and coming Chris Muir's Day by Day 3-panel political cartoon that never misses and skewers the issues pointedly dead on, and perhaps Mallard Fillmore by Bruce Tinsley which has been around for awhile.
But Chris Muir's strategy to get more people to notice his Day by Day cartoon drawings by allowing bloggers to link to the Day by Day script/code was a brilliant tactical move. I have done just that as seen near the top of my blogsite and readers of Kokonut Pundits will see a new panel everyday day that is changed automatically.
People hitting Chris Muir's site has steadly grown from 180,000 hits on January 2005 to 280,000 hits on December 2005, and gets over 8,000 hits a day. But the number of people downloading the script/code to their blogsites has grown considerably. Many of the major, well known conservative bloggers carry Day by Day cartoon panel on their blogsites. We all have our favorites. I started to carry Day by Day one year ago.
One of my favorite happens to be by Cox and Forkum. No conspiracy theories. No shrilling. Just pure common sense approach on educating the masses. But liberals might be a harder species to reach out to. Kind of like trying to educate an old dog new tricks. Roll over, Dan Rather. Roll over!
Now, the Day by Day cartoon is becoming another favorite among the conservative circles. It is one of my favorites as well.
Why am I bringing this up? Well, just wait and you'll find out soon.
What would we do without these conservative political cartoonists? Life would be dull and drab.
