I know this request is an oldie, but I was waiting until I could check
out one of the books I'm recommending below, and it was just returned
to the library.
For a source of cartoons relevant to psychology, try the collected
works of the talented scientific cartoonist, Sidney Harris. His
work has appeared in (reading from the back cover), The New Yorker,
Playboy, Discover, Science, and The Chronicle of Higher Education.
Mostly, though, he used to appear in Current Contents, if I remember
correctly. There are some psychology targets in each of these,
although, of course, more in the psychology collection.
Can't you guys read? Cartoons on academia
Einstein simplified. Cartoons on science
Freudian slips. Cartoons on psychology
All are published by Rutgers University Press.
(Didn't spot my favourite among them, though. It shows two professors
at a blackboard covered in equations. The last equation ends "...and
then a great miracle happens". One prof points to it and says "I
think you could be more explicit in step 10 here".)
I also recommend the remarkable book (this one is more specialized,
though):
Freyd, P., & Goldstein, E. (1998). Smiling through tears. Upton.
(I'm sure it won't escape the attention of sharp-eyed TIPsters that P.
Freyd is the Pamela Freyd who helped found the False Memory
Foundation. All the cartoons are mainstream, though (Doonesbury,
Family Circus, Dilbert, etc.)
Happy giggling.
