A Very Merry Christmas to One and All
I expect to post at least another 15-20 editorial cartoons in the comments section and as updates to this diary.
Thank you very much for supporting this diary series, one I first started in 2009 before the DK front page had any cartoons at all.
Note: Scroll down a bit for manual updates and additional cartoons.
In case you missed them, here are my recent diaries.
— Fundraising diary for J Graham, who is bravely fighting cancer and trying to defy the odds. We currently stand at $6,935 of a fundraising goal of $15,000.00. Your generous donation is greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
Happy Holidays, and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas as well as a great start to the New Year!

It’s been almost three months since I posted this weekly diary.
For those of you concerned about Elon Musk and all the shenanigans on Twitter, I have noticed that only one editorial cartoonist has moved away* from Twitter since the 2024 Election. It’s possible that more (or most) cartoonists may decide to move away from Twitter to Bluesky or other such platforms in the future. Until that happens, embedding cartoons in a diary like this one can only be possible through Twitter.
You might also want to read this previous comment of mine. Thanks.
* See this comment of mine down below to blueoregon. Editorial Cartoonist RJ Matson has returned to Twitter.

Once a criminal, always a criminal. No surprise here.
Washington Post: “It’s a little late for this year’s celebrations, but you can get a very early jump on next year and count down with the $38 Trump Advent calendar. Or trim the tree with a $95 Mar-a-Lago bauble or a $16 MAGA hat ornament, sold in nine colors. (A glass version of the hat ornament is $92.) Stuff stockings with an $86 ‘GIANT Trump Chocolate Gold Bar’ and a $22 pair of candy cane socks printed with ‘Trump.’ Prepare a holiday feast with a $14 Trump Christmas tree pot holder and $28 Trump apron featuring Santa waving an American flag.”
“The profits from these holiday trinkets do not benefit a political committee or a charitable cause, but the Trump Organization, the Trump family’s privately owned conglomerate of real estate, hotel and lifestyle businesses. As the company encouraged customers to celebrate the holidays with Trump gifts for all ages, President-elect Donald Trump personally profited off of his upcoming term in a manner that is unprecedented in modern history — even during his unconventional first stint in the White House.”

Diary Poll
Before you answer the poll question, you might want to watch this video. It is a well-balanced critique of what went wrong in the 2024 Election.
We should never be afraid to change for the better.
