I got mixed up on Illinois & Missouri mostly. God they have NO SHAPE at ALL. Kentucky, tho = classic.

Illinois is like a dagger. Missouri pokes holes into other states.

They're both kind of shaped like melted candles that were originally crafted by some kid at a pioneer festival booth.

How many wooden varnished clocks have been made to look like Montana? It's even big enough to have a thermometer glued to the side.
I know Sedaris has that story about the Oregon clocks.

A fact which was drilled into our heads for the two years I went to grade school in Tennessee, like Missouri was going to get uppity and try to steal their spot.

Missouri shouldn't be allowed to include Kentucky since you can't drive there directly.

Taking a brief stroll thru the TownHall toons is a different experience than a year ago, as many of the strips are actually firing on each other's favored GOP candidate, with a few of your standard anti-Hillary and/or hilarious projecting bits that we've seen for years.
In other words, wow, these assholes REALLY don't like John McCain.

there's something so exceedingly joyless about the eco claus cartoon above, like the cartoonist themselves can't quite commit to the premise, and knows they are just swinging at a strawman out of habit of muscle memory...

Somebody take over this thread for me, willya, like Daniel or whomever. I'm no longer at a desk job, so someone should take up the standard of mocking the continuing implosion of rightwing fuckheads as exhibited thru b&w toons.

The beauty of Mallard Fillmore is that it's even weirder than it sounds. If you tried to describe it to someone and said, "Oh, it's a comic where a talking duck spews far-right talking points," you still wouldn't quite capture the bizarre universe of the strip.
― Nathan, Friday, 18 January 2008 07:48 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah i don't even understand his point in that first one... white politicians go out of their way to point out they're not racist to court black votes, which means... racism must not be that bad? Um, no, little duck. Let me tell you a story...
― kenan, Friday, 18 January 2008 07:53 (sixteen years ago) link
funny thing about that first Mallard strip is that I distinctly remember Charlton Heston using 'marched with King' as an excuse when he was accused of racism/not giving a damn about guns killing young black men.

I wonder how much irony was intended with the penultimate Patriotart toon.

I think what was intended is that Hillary is even more of a bitch than Coulter. Which, while less ironical, is still o_O.
