Top Editorial Cartoonists (IMHO)

J.J. McCullough
Canadian cartoonist behind Filibuster Cartoons
Wayne Stayskal
Brings home his points with a light touch
Scott Stantis
Editorial cartoonist for the Birmingham News and USA Today
Ann Telnaes
Left shooter. Excellent style. Elegant images making strong points.

Independent online editorial cartoonists as good as anyone in print but are, sadly, now retired

Political Comic Strips

The granddaddy of all politically pointed comic strips.
Prickly City by Scott Stantis
A girl and a coyote can be friends, even when their politics are opposite.
Mallard Filmore by Bruce Tinsley
This conservative duck has a lot of opinions.
The Boondocks by Aaron McGruder
