America's Best Conservative Cartoonist...

...is Chuck Asay.

I've long admired Asay, an older cartoonist whose multi-panel approach presages modern cartooning and eschews retro styles in other ways as well, because of his mad editorial cartooning chops. His right-wing politics are beside the point. A good cartoonist is a good cartoonist, period.

Check out an interview with him here:

He also says nice things about me:

I also like and respect Ted Rall. He is a very thoughtful person with incredible gifts. He writes well and is passionate about ideas. We may disagree about ideas from time to time but I can think of no other person who I’d like to be locked up with if we should wind up in jail somewhere.


Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

  1. Hey thanks for the link!

    I agree. Asay's also super-nice, too, and it was neat to interview him.

    I hope I get to meet him someday.

  2. If you guys do end up in a cell together it could make a nice reality TV show.

    Which gang would you join?

  3. A better reality show would be to strand Rush Limbaugh and Michael Moore on a small, deserted island and force them to rely on each other for their very survival.

    Then again, I'd give Moore a day or two before Limbaugh kills him in his sleep and eats him...
