Based on the captions, I'm pretty sure the "good" is in quote marks. As in, the original site is mocking the cartoons.

I like the political meta-cartoon thing on The Onion, with the weeping statue of liberty in the background all the time. That's good stuff right there.

How much do editoral cartoons make nowadays? I know a lot of newspaper cartoons say it barely covers the cost of paper and supplies. Tim Kreider's awesome editoral work was only worth 20 bucks a toon so, what are these guys making?

If by "good" they mean distorting facts in order to rile up a political base of people who wouldn't know the constitution if it hit them in the face, then yeah.

More precisely he's ironicallly reinterpreting some shit-stupid cartoons to give them a meaning which is not shit-stupid, and then declaring them on that basis to be good without quote marks.

This is a blog about political cartoons that are fundamentally correct despite their maker's intentions. A good tumblr.

I confess, I didn't get the "joke" but now that its been pointed out to me that the blogger is being ironic, I still don't get the "joke."

well, mocking or not, it's not particularily great, and it doesn't seem as if a 9 post SLTP that will likely devolve into flamewars over validity of post or just plain politics will stay standing long.
it does become strangely awesome if you start reading all of the commentary in the voice of Kif or Zoidberg, however.
