I know far side isn't exactly political, but I'm an arts guy so I'll say that absurdism is an inherently political choice.

They don't have to be old school either, but since the form has mostly fallen out of favour, the golden era of the top quality stuff is in the past.

I just love reading funny little cartoons. I guess they were the precursor to memes. I don't even care if they're lib or right wing bullshit, I recently read a collection of Pat Oliphant's work, and even though most of it wasn't very politically accurate, nor was it particularly funny, it was still enjoyed ironically.

Any picks?

    Doonesbury comes to mind as a comic that was very frequently political, though not a "political comic," per se.

    This user is posting several old comics on the same day of the year they were originally posted. I'm also following Calvin&Hobbes, and Bloom County.
