Gary Varvel for March 22, 2024

Corporate greed up 5,000,000% because the more they make the less taxes they pay, thanks to tubby tRump!

Revlon and Covergirl combined don’t make enough lipstick to cover this administration’s lies.

Those pigs look like the Joker. Fits well with the Old Geezer Usurper.

Our economy is growing and doing much better than the rest of the world.

Yeah, Biden runs all the car companies, oil producing nations, farms and ranches; and is the major home builder in the country. The fact that Mr. Varvel’s Orange God once had oil production cut 25% which really increased prices in not to be mentioned.

Good one Gary! Should have added one for all the costs of open border Biden’s migrant crisis.

Amen!

Stir that pot, just like PDJT does

Why can’t I find any economist in the news praising our economy and the government’s spending history?

Another pig needs to be added: Some cartoonist’s lies are up 1000%.

Retirement accounts are doing spectacularly. The Dow hit a new record yesterday.

Now THAT’S funny! (And perfectly describes Senile Joe’s reelection platform!)

I don’t know where gas is up 48% unless they measure from pandemic pricing, which is ludicrous, because that was not anything any person did, it was the shutdown. That is something that hadn’t happened since the early 1900s flu epidemic and isn’t likely to happen again anytime soon.

Given all those pig things are owned by big corporations.. mostly republican owned.. they should be really happy with Joe (as if Joe has anything to do with it). Sounds like every bit.. a republican free enterprise economy is responsible.

TFG has cornered the market on Lipstick. He knows he’ll need it if he wins in November.

Record profits reported by Aramco, Exxon-Mobil, Chevron, Phillips, etc., are all due to Biden! /S!

Keep going Varvel you’ve got your trolls believing you.

If things are as bad as the cartoonist suggests, why did President Biden’s re-election campaign set a record for fundraising after the State Of The Union? The AP reports that the Committee To Re-Elect the President has over $155 million cash on hand. Furthermore, Forbes reports that outside groups have pledged a billion dollars to get Biden re-elected.

Meanwhile, Trump spent 10 million in campaign funds on his lawyers in 2024 alone, according to US News & World Report. Let this be a lesson to you, girls and boys: it is best not to nominate a criminal who needs so many lawyers when you are seeking the Presidency.

From Washington Monthly:

The most basic measure of the economy is how much it grows. The official data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) are clear: After inflation, real GDP has grown at a 3.4 average annual rate since Biden became president, while Trump trails badly at an average 1.8 percent growth. Trump allies aren’t wrong when they complain that the 2020 downturn wasn’t his fault, so we’ll give him a pass for the year. The result still shows more robust growth under Biden: From 2017 to 2019, the economy grew an average of 2.8 percent per year, a rate still 18 percent slower than under Biden.

I don’t want to cause a migraine, but please tell me why you think Biden, Trump, or any president controls the price of gas, food, or mortgages?

Inflation can get down to 0%, but the prices we pay now will not go down. bidens famous qoute “this is the new normal, get used to it”

Nice try. I have never been more financially sound than I am right now. Thank you, President Biden. As for this cartoon, asking people to be willfully stupid is a bit of a reach isn’t it, Varvel?

Wages are outpacing inflation.

Old Slo Joe needs more shoe polish for that piece of poop he’s trying to shine.

Great toon!!!

And how is Biden responsible for any of this? The President does not control the economy.

A bright red covering this entire toon would be a real world depiction of lipstick on a pig.

Corporate profit-taking clearly part of rising prices.

And the pigs object, while they admit to being republican’t by birth, they object to anyone who has not passed cosmetology classes from decorating them and getting other’s attention.

i think the lipstick makes those pigs look sexy. is that the point? is that one of biden’s new policies? to make pigs look sexier? if that’s true then I know who I’m voting for in november!

My electric costs (from a co-op) have gone up. But nothing even close to 28%. Ya might want to look into corporate greed there, too.

Gas prices here, now, are lower than they were pre-pandemic (very slightly, but lower). Where do YOU live that they’re up nearly 50%? I admit that our prices have always been somewhat higher than what the NY-based media report, so perhaps we were already being cheated??

You get to own it, Biden. Let’s go, Brandon!

While Varvel may not be as vile as Stiglich, he’s as partisan!

My investments have increased 11% since the beginning of the year. 3 months. Higher than they’ve ever been.

And if you buy what’s on sale, I’ll bet you see hardly any difference in your grocery bill.

Stock market high, corporate greed high.

You do know traitor Trump has big interests in business and does not give a crap about the common people.

What does traitor Trump think about his buddy Putin’s Moscow being attacked?

Oh look at that, capitalism is outpacing humans.

The easiest solution? Have the federal government impose price controls. I would never have guessed that Gary is a Commie.

Spot on Gary

Varvel was absent that day in sixth grade Social Studies when supply and demand was explained.

The more the corporate pays in taxes, the more we have to pay in the store.

Jobs up… market up… oops, let’s not mention that.

Best comic of the week. Nice job, Gary!

And Gary needs a reality check.

7% mortgage rate? Wow, that’s a deal. My first home loan in 1982 was the cheapest at 15.4%. Joe must be doing something right. /s

Great Comic! FJB

Another good one. Let the denials and gaslighting from the lefties begin.
