lets not pretend there aren't plenty of shitty comix artists on the left.

Oh there's plenty; however, they ain't the ones doing the usual bush cultist thing and acting like an arm of the RNC.

i don't think the dude anticipated how long the war would last. so there's a lot more "HOLY FLURKKING SCHNITT WTF AMERICA" anger in it these days.

the best bad lefty cartoon is minimum security but yeah its badness isn't real interesting

ever since the one with the middle panel of the guy sleeping in a recliner in a black hole i can't stay mad at day by day

I don't. I like it as this weird comic strip that came out of some smoking volcanic crack of fear and hate and cofusion, right after 9/11. It captured something right then, not least of all absurdity. It's been irrelevant for years.

That's right, 'cuz we all know that who're the biggest pussies in all this: the American Public.

Oh yeah, and Patton would obviously have agreed w/ every single thing our Leader did thus far and affirmed how just our Righteous War is.

Actually, this one is refreshing straightforward and representative:

Falwell's Contribution

that's not really rightie

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 18:32 (sixteen years ago) link

I know. Thus the "change of note" bit, b/c we have 3 years of other batshit from the guy(his was the pseudo-watterson/breathed style ones on the old thread).

Actually, there's quite a series of 'Falwell at the Pearly Gates' going on, both pro and con.

Please point me in that direction because this thread is depressing the hell out of me.

Well, Ted Rall for one

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 17 May 2007 10:18 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, here's a big raspberry for Ted Rall.

Ha! Called it! Bring on the "michael moore is fat lol"!

This next one ain't batshit by any means, but quite revealing:

Just noticed something about this last two:

http://jewishworldreview.com/strips/pc/pc051607.jpg

http://jewishworldreview.com/strips/pc/pc051707.jpg

I don't know if this just a standard comic strip trope, but the first comic is straight Opus-goes-off-to-campaign stuff from Bloom County circa 84/88, all the way down to the big ass tie.

― kingfish, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:00 (sixteen years ago) link

hahaha that michael moore one is relying on the audience's knowledge of... an old johnny carson sketch??!

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:09 (sixteen years ago) link

"What is, cliche'd ways to make 'michael moore is fat lol' into a punchline?"

― deej, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:13 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, there's a lot of idea lifting going on, viz. Doonesbury-style floating helmet Patton upthread

― elmo argonaut, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:14 (sixteen years ago) link

Thought that was Doonesbury at first!

RE Patton - 3,500 casualties:

Wow. Complete lack of soul and character. So there is no shame in *only* 3,500 dead American troups? Should 9/11 victims be mourned considering there were *only* 3,000?

CONCEPT: Dead Americans are dead Americans. War = bad, peace = good.
The end.

new day, same joke.

http://media.townhall.com/Townhall/Car/b/payn070520.jpg

This one's kinda unsettling.

http://www.creators.com/comics/37/5754_thumb.jpg

A month later, we still need to get in a violent rapper thing, just cuz the previous 10 strips using the exact same joke apparently weren't good enough.

― kingfish, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:33 (sixteen years ago) link

all it needs is a reference to industry rule number 4,080

― deej, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:37 (sixteen years ago) link

Because the Army (or any corporation really) doesn't specifically market to minorities yet!

― dan selzer, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:41 (sixteen years ago) link

Both the characters in the "marketing to minorities" cartoon seem pretty happy about the situation, even the white dude. Which odd, because obviously the cartoonist's point is "OMG WTF CAN YOU IMAGINE LOL!?!?"

― n/a, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:44 (sixteen years ago) link

imagine companies marketing to all potential customers instead of just white people!

― and what, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:58 (sixteen years ago) link

the two protagonists of that one are obv supposed to be brainwashed members of the PC liberal elite

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:05 (sixteen years ago) link

Wait, isn't Gore a fairly religious person?

― Eppy, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:06 (sixteen years ago) link

he's doing his xenophobe movement no favors by implying that the worst that could happen is an increase in 'ethnic' (non-white) names in advertising

― deej, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:07 (sixteen years ago) link

I mean it's like showing the Pope wearing his Pope clothes and saying "NO ABORTIONS" as if that's a gotcha. Religious guy acts in religious way, film at 11.

― Eppy, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:07 (sixteen years ago) link

right now somebody who works for Bud or their advertising company is looking at that cartoon going "Jose Sixpack....hmmmm."

― dan selzer, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:08 (sixteen years ago) link

Also, guy in "Guns and Killers" is clearly just going to take his vengence via long black coats and techno music playing from a boombox and setting cars on fire.

― Eppy, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:12 (sixteen years ago) link

The thing about the advert one is that it reminds me of something Nabisco wrote awhile back, that it's finally begin to sink in to some of these guys that acknowledging more than just white anglo-saxon judeo-christian folks is going to become more prevalent, and so the previously assumed commonality/universality of the WASP/C/J experience ain't so universal any more.

And it scares the shit out of them.

― kingfish, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:25 (sixteen years ago) link

and of course the same dudes who refuse to acknowledge that minorities could ever have any legitimate resentment towards an overwhelming majority white anglo christian culture are freaking the fuck out about the 'death of the west' whenever a tv show has a muslim character or mcdonalds introduces a new breakfast burrito

― and what, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:31 (sixteen years ago) link

haha have you received emails about the breakfast burrito??

― deej, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:33 (sixteen years ago) link

Also, the thing about the Al Gore as priest is that these guys have been constantly referring to climate science in terms of religious dogma over the last coupla years, i.e. fully adopting the postmodern attack that there's no objective science, that all folks who talking about climate chance are mere blind followers to the high priests of global warming and you can't say empirically prove any of the shit, and the volumes of empiric evidence collected so far are but smoke & mirrors by communists and fanatics.

xp: exactly

― kingfish, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:34 (sixteen years ago) link

all the non-cartoon posts here sound like sour grapes

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:38 (sixteen years ago) link

no, we're talking about burritos, not grapes. Grapes do not taste good with salsa.

and now, a new week begins with this bit of trife fandom:

One of the things that constantly amuses me about these people is vehement authoritarism bit; blindly following authority and feeling completely righteous in virulently attacking anyone who would dare do anything short of immediate submission. Until the point that the authority figure doesn't do shit as crazy as the followers want them to, then that authority immediately is targeted and cast aside.

The movement then searches for another authoritarian leader, and from dubya we go to romney, giuliani, etc.

Is Day by Day's art actually getting worse or is the guy from Gaggle doing guest strips this week? Man oh MAN.

― Doctor Casino, Monday, 21 May 2007 18:43 (sixteen years ago) link

haha I THOUGHT THAT WAS GAGGLE

― kenan, Monday, 21 May 2007 18:45 (sixteen years ago) link

The ethanolic one is interesting. I largely agree... ethanol is replacing one addiction for another. It's an "alternative" energy source that will result in more crazy subsidies, less farmers, more corporate hoonja-doonja, etc. Just give us electric cars, already.

― kenan, Monday, 21 May 2007 18:48 (sixteen years ago) link

Except of course the point of that strip is likely that we should still with gasoline.
