Alta Cartoons 2020
We wouldn’t have made it this far without hanging on to our sense of humor.
Looking over this year’s Altatudes—the name of our cartoon showcase on each issue’s back page—we chose those that tickled us most. Which one is your favorite?
“Howdy there, Ms. O’Keeffe! Boy, those vaginas are sure comin’ in nice this year!”
“Oh, that’s Dave—he’s cool.”
“How do I get out of this party tonight? I can’t use the apocalypse as an excuse again.”
“Text Dad, he’ll know.”
“My death notice is getting a ridiculous amount of ‘likes’ on Facebook.”
“Alexa, what fresh hell are we in for today?”
“Dave and I are going off the grid—but we’ll still be posting about it online.”
“Where do you see yourself in five years?”
“ ‘Global warming is coming faster than you think,’ he says. ‘It’ll be an oceanfront property in weeks,’ he says…”
“I’m drinking a fuck it from the whatever region.”
