Excellent article on female comedy writers

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 by Jen Sorensen

A must-read in Vanity Fair:

At this moment, there are more females serving on the United States Supreme Court than there are writing for Late Show with David Letterman, The Jay Leno Show, and The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien combined. Out of the 50 or so comedy writers working on these programs, exactly zero are women.

I guess that offers some insight into the sausagefest that is late-night TV (see my earlier blog post on the subject).

This Week’s Cartoon: “The Viking News Channel”

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 by Jen Sorensen

On a lark, I alerted ABC White House correspondent Jake Tapper to this one via Twitter yesterday — Tapper was critical of the WH decision to limit Fox News’s access, referring to the network as a “sister organization.” Let’s just say I seem to have tapped some of his buttons. A lengthy tweet war ensued, with Jake calling the cartoon “vile” and me suggesting that he seemed to think any crackpot should be given WH access. But then he mentioned he was an amateur cartoonist, and a surprisingly good one, I’d say, and we ended up chummy. If you’re curious, you can read the whole entertaining exchange on our Twitter pages. (You’ll have to scroll down a bit on his, as he tweets a lot.)

Jake gets bonus points for making himself accessible to his audience. And for being a cartoonist, of course. But he’s still wrong about Fox! The right has been promulgating this meme that people are mixing up Fox’s news programming with their opinion shows. But there’s an abundance of evidence that the news agenda is set by the top brass, is filled with inaccuracies, and has resulted in a deeply misinformed viewership. Let’s put it this way: compare Fox News to another Murdoch-owned entity, the Wall Street Journal. The WSJ generally has decent news coverage, with an insane editorial page. The divide is clear. Fox News is out to punk people, and for that, they don’t deserve legitimacy. For the sake of journalism and democracy, you gotta draw the line somewhere.

This year I started paying a lot more attention to where my traffic is coming from and the like. It’s always funny to see the strange search terms that lead people to your site. About a dozen people a month get here by searching “Colonial Porn” because of a comic I drew a few years ago for the The Stranger.

Colonial Porn edges out Confederate Porn by a few searches every month, which is reassuring in some small way.

I thought I’d post them again since the original post has broken links. Although I’m sure at least twelve of you are seriously disappointed right now…

new cartoon

Monday, October 26th, 2009 by Shannon Wheeler

Down at the Sapphire last night I chatted with the bartender. It was a quiet night and everyone was well dressed. I asked if she’d ever had to kick anyone out. She told me once there was a guy who acted weird and slurred his words. When he ordered a beer she told him that she couldn’t serve him but would be happy to bring him some food. He freaked out and started screaming that they were prejudice against retarded people. “I’m not drunk I’m retarded!” He threatened to call the police, pulled out his camera phone and started taking pictures while screaming “I’m retarded, I’m retarded.” It’s funnier than most of my cartoons. I’m tempted to draw it up.

Anyway, here’s a new cartoon.
