Why are political cartoons and comedians so effective? And why were cartoonists on Nixon's enemies list?? The brilliant @tbtoro.bsky.social takes us from 'Join or Die' to Nast to Kimmel: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m... #sschat (hat tip to @katebeaton.bsky.social)

Kate Beaton's cartoon showing Ben Franklin getting hassled by his editor for being too obtuse in his 'Join or Die' cartoon. The editor suggests writing 'British Control' above the severed snake, then King George III on the side with a knife saying 'taxes'

Congrats to Revelator contributor @tbtoro.bsky.social, whose environmental cartoons appear in our newsletter and whose new collection, And to Think We Started as a Book Club…, hits shelves today! Read our 2024 interview with him: therevelator.org/global-warmi...

Global Warming Funnies • The Revelator

For cartoonist Tom Toro, humor about climate change attacks hypocrisy, supports truth, and fuels resistance.

@tbtoro.bsky.social has judged the entries for our caption contest and the results are in… 🥁

Congratulations to our winner, Izzy G., who submitted the caption in the first image skewering the moral abdication that sometimes lurks behind expressions of admiration for the youth climate movement.
