Every day, our daily cartoonists get out of bed with one goal: to make people laugh. To achieve this, they also have to set a second goal: to read every news item that has transpired in the past twenty-four hours. And once they've achieved these first two goals they focus on a third goal: to draw a cartoon about what they've read. This year, our daily cartoonists were Joe Dator, Emily Flake, Kaamran Hafeez, Benjamin Schwartz, Tom Toro, and Christopher Weyant. Here is every cartoon they published in 2015, starting at the end of the year and looking back.
