As always, TokyoSand over at Political Charge has found the best cartoons from the past week, and as usual, I am a few days late in re-blogging her post! This week’s biggest story was the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and I know from following Clay Jones’ blog, just how difficult it was to do a political cartoon that showed the respect we all had for her. Second in line was Steve Bannon’s arrest, which was a big deal here in the U.S., probably not so much across the pond. Below is a sampling from TokyoSand’s post … be sure to click the link at the bottom to see the entire collection! Thank you, TS!
Here in the U.S., our news was dominated by Bannon turning himself in and other MAGA acting like dangerous dorks, whereas the U.K. dealt with the loss of their longest reigning monarch.
Filosofa's Word 
I didn’t waste my time with the Bannon or Trump ones, even when they are pilloried, they are unbearable.
I looked at the ones honouring our Queen. (Banner and Trump aren’t even fit to share the same cartoon pages)

A wise move! And you’re right … they aren’t fit to share the same page … maybe not even the same planet … with the Queen.

They are so repulsive they make a good case for the Stalin Approach to dealing with them

If Clay Jones thought it was difficult to do a cartoon showing respect for Queen Elizabeth how does he explain that Diana one? Not in the least bit funny and in incredibly poor taste. And I’m with Rawgod on the empty leash one – now that’s how to do it!

I agree … I found that one to be inappropriate and disrespectful. Yep, that empty leash one brought a tear for me, too.

The Corgi with a loose leash almost made me cry, and I am NOT a royalist!

Some really good ones…these days I wish I were a Brit. Living with people who, for the most part, are not insane…

Well, our Brit friends are all pretty decent, stable people, but believe me, the UK has its share of nutcases too! Remember Nigel Farage? Jeremy Corbin?
