A grand time at this month’s #BerndtToastGang luncheon where chapter chair Adrian Sinnott rcvd the Tim Rosenthal award. My thx to Karen Evans, Johnny Sampson, & Ray Alma for asking me if I would, as former BTG Chair, come down from New England & present it to him. It was my honor. #berndttoastgang

A book on manga history that was so full of errors and false claims that I felt like I had to write a blog post about it to warn people got nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Academic Work. Truly post-truth society 🤷‍♂️ eikeexner.com/2025/11/26/n...

A 1970s Yankee Doodles lunchbox based on a same name bicentennial themed comic strip. As Allan Holtz writes: “Given that Americans aren't all that keen on ridiculing the founding fathers, the gags could often veer from tepid to mildly offensive.” strippersguide.blogspot.com/2013/01/obsc...

Putting in alfalfa meal, bone meal, kelp meal & garden lime to refresh raised beds. Burying a couple of metal colanders with fresh compost in each bed. It was 29 degrees last night - too early to plant. The trillium & periwinkle don’t care. They r happily blooming away. #garden

Many happy returns to my Dad on what would be his 89th birthday today. He's been gone over a year and is dearly missed.

I tend to not post sketchbook drawings. A sketchbook is to try things out and make a mess and not worry about whether something is "good" or "bad." Anyway, here are a few drawings from my sketchbook, some good, some bad. Much more here: mikelynchcartoons.blogspot.com/2026/04/some...

Frank Godwin’s comic strip Connie, about an adventurous female reporter & detective, ran from 1927 to 1944. There have been a few collections of the dailies, but for the 1st time, Classic Comics Press is working on it. mikelynchcartoons.blogspot.com/2026/03/clas... #frankgodwin #newspapercomics

Just looking through some old comics and found a mail order advert for Small Prophets

I met a traveler from an ancient land…

TAPPER: You called Renee Good a "domestic terrorist." Why did you not wait for an investigation? NOEM: Everything I've said has been proven to be factual and the truth. This administration wants to operate in transparency. T: What you said is not what happened N: It absolutely is what happened

Is there even a line anymore?

17 GOP defectors broke with their party to protect health subsidies—a sharp rebuke to Speaker Mike Johnson.

Another inch or two of snow. Just enough to shovel, clear the car and the feeders. I put out fresh seed, mealworms and suet. Tonight: ice and snow and rain. #newengland #winter

Brr. Cold, snowy, but still beautiful on the coast of Maine. Not that we lasted long sitting out here! #Maine #crescentbeach

You can't do fat jokes. They're demeaning. Except when it's a hippo-on-hippo fat shaming incident. So ... it's OK for animals to be nasty. At least it was OK enough for Reader's Digest to decide to purchase & run in its magazine & in a book collection. Those r some catty hippos. #mikelynchcartoons

Tonight’s viewing. The kippered herring, another little snoop, send up the captain’s lunch, the Punch and Judy and Googie Show, Thelma Todd … so much fun. #MarxBrothers

The view from my studio window. Only got about a half foot of snow. Enough to make everything look all wintry!

A policy expert described Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s push in favor of private schools as a “great American heist,” funneling money from public schools: “It’s a strategic theft of the future of our country, our kids and our democracy.” (Published October 2025)

He's undoubtedly planning the Mother of all Distractions but can't think of anything to top flying over a city in a crown dropping poo on American citizens.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Sadly, there's not a day I could post this where it would apply. Fuck 'Thoughts and Prayers.' How about background checks, banning assault weapons and actual gun laws that protect our children? Oh sorry, I forgot, there's $$$ to be made, so that won't happen. www.gunviolencearchive.org
