1. The 3 Gary McCoy ones are RW cartoons

Two promoting the RW narrative of liberal hypocrisy, and one about kids these days falling for "communist propaganda"

[Wounded Bear]

2. A few obviously RW examples in there, but K & R...

have to keep our eye on them, I suppose.

[Miguelito Loveless]

3. Must disagree with the EV cartoon

the myth that they will overload the power grid has been repeatedly debunked. Most EVs charge up overnight when there is plenty of spare capacity on the grid. In fact, a number of utilities have special tariffs for overnight charging.

7. Judge is a solid Democrat

Believe he was hinting that the power grid needs to be ready for the influx of EVs.

8. I don't think one can call it 'debunked'

There's too many variables involved to discount the possibility every where, at every time.

If there gets to be a lot of EV's it could definitely be a problem in certain places on certain days. Also as the population of EV's grows there will be growing pressure on, say, office buildings, to provide lots of chargers so employees can charge during the day (not every EV will have the capacity to get everyone to work and back on one charge).

Could also be an employee perk i.e. Hey, free charging at the office!

Right now most charging is done at home overnight but that could absolutely change.

I definitely think it's wise to really be thinking about beefing up the grid in anticipation, esp. in places where it now SUCKS. You know, like Texas

5. Among all the good ones (Dancin' in the streets, etc. ) why the 3 rightwing toons?

The people of Martha’s Vineyard stepped up generously and kindly, like good people.

Love this one…
