Take a peek over Jim Borgman's shoulder


Jim Borgman has been the Enquirer's editorial cartoonist since 1976. Borgman has won every major award in his field, including the 1991 Pulitzer Prize, the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year in 1993, and most recently, the Adamson Award in 2005 as International Cartoonist of the Year. His award-winning daily comic strip Zits, co-created with Jerry Scott, chronicles the life of 15-year-old Jeremy Duncan, his family and friends through the glories and challenges of the teenage years. Since debuting in July 1997, Zits has regularly finished #1 in reader comics polls across America and is syndicated in more than 1300 newspapers around the world.

Kick Me

Quite a number of readers have informed me that Volvo is owned by Ford, in reference to a cartoon I did a few days ago about the Ford plant closings. Sorry about that. No one caught it here and I'm apparently behind on my automotive reading.

And I could just as easily have chosen Saab or Volkswagen or Subaru to label the back of that car. Kicking myself. My bad.

On another matter, it always cracks us up here on the editorial page when readers complain that our page is BIASED!!!!!!!! Imagine! Opinion on an editorial page. I don't know how people reach adulthood without grasping the concept that an opinion page is for opinions. And an editorial cartoon is, yes, my take on the world, nothing more nor less.

So accuse me of anything but bias. It's like accusing a nun of praying. It's what we do. It's our calling.

Hi Jim,
Just wondering what you thought of the Palestinian reaction to the cartoons published in the Danish and Norwegian newspapers.
I'm keen to get your opinion on the matter.
I've posted an entry on my blog today about it:

Nah, you're not biased. You're well skilled at poking fun at people, and do it with equal zeal towards everybody.

It's a gift to be able to hit someone in the face and make them laugh. So come on, hit me again!

You lean so far left that your ear scrapes the ground when you walk.

No wonder you stay anonymous, with infantile name-calling like that I would too.

I've been reading Jim's cartoons since I was a kid. And he's bashed Democrats and Republicans equally. I remember a cartoon of Jimmy Carter putting daisies in soldiers' rifles. Or Tip O'Neill trapped in Reagan's jelly bean jar. And then you have all those years of Bill Clinton getting Jim's pies in the face.

So its ridiculous to say Jim's biased, he's an Equal Opportunity Poker-Funner Cartoonist.

I stay anonymous because I refuse to register for this, or any other liberal piece of garbage.

Ridiculous to say this shill is biased?

You're not right jon s. Just do a tiny bit of research and it's not that hard to see.

If you lack the intelligence or desire to do that then just ask him. He won't deny he's as liberal as they get. He can't deny it. The evidence is all over the place.

The Enquirer I grew up with was conservative, but most conservatives have left the city and the Enquirer became a liberal rag somewhere along the line.

I stopped subscribing during the 2004 election season because I refused to pay to read it anymore.

My neighborhood is conservative, and I see less and less litter box liners in driveways all the time.

Every chance I get, I tell people how far the Enquier has fallen because of people like this clown and wilkinson and all the rest.

I wouldn't care a bit if the paper folded up and was gone next week. And this is coming from someone who not too many years ago had this paper delivered to myself at Army posts in TX, VA and SC.

Imagine that. Someone with a B.S. in journalism coming to the aid of another lefty journalist. How cute! And objective too!

How many journalists are lefties these days? Last count was somewhere in the 90% range.

The paper endorsing President Bush is your proof? Are you kidding me?

Did you happen to read that endorsement? This rag all but apologized for making it.

And the only reason they endorsed President Bush at all is that their customer base is still mostly conservative people who subscribe to this rag by habit.

The rag couldn't afford to endorse their boy because they don't make money off the liberals who live here.

Those liberals are too busy shooting each other to buy a paper.

Anonymous, if this is such a liberal rag, why are you even here in the first place?

I'm sorry to see Jim's blog turn into your soapbox for airing your greivances with the world. Do it on your own site if you wish.

Oh, and you don't have to register, just choose "other" and put your name in.

sunkorg, what a genius you are. Look again pal. Did I say you were a journalist or did I say you had a B.S. in journalism?

ok, now look again genius, and throw everything you have at my ip addy ok?

I guess you are unfamiliar with dynamic ip.

Kids running little kiddie scripts in their parents basements are so amusing...
