Come with me, come to the land of batshit rightwing cartoonists

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

haha I THOUGHT THAT WAS GAGGLE

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.

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

STICK with etc

where's your electricity coming from?

hopefully from also investing in cleaner power sources. Maybe even nuclear, but that's kind of a can open, worms everywhere argument.

ethanol is stupid, a sop to Big Agriculture that pays lip service to environmentalism, and a hugely irresponsible use of arable land (sorry starving people of the world, we gotta drive!)

otm, we're already slathering corn junkies

Gaggle is even more minimalist than DaybyDay:

Non-corn ethanol actually works tho, if you went for a soy/hemp-based fuel, which probably aint happening anytime soon

and a hugely irresponsible use of arable land

which must be fertilized with petroleum products. The whole thing is a smokescreen.

libertarians are right about agricultural welfare...every time i see some 'neck in the parking lot with a f-350 dually that he uses to drive to and from school, i'm like "wait a minute, i paid for that!" and get a little irritated.

xp well, soy based fuel wouldn't help all that much, since a decent chunk of the world's soy comes from deforested areas in Brazil. i mean, growing fuel sounds like a really great idea, but it requires a huge input of energy, perpetuates our addiction to automobiles, encourages monocultural agriculture (already a problem in america), and means that we're using arable land to fill our gas tanks instead of putting food in mouths. recycled biodiesel is A+, but yeah, i'd rather see the money and effort and hype around ethanol being put into electric cars or more fuel-efficient regular cars

we should have an agriculture thread

For today, we have a rash of immigration ones:

And then your standard run-of-the-mill fanboy "you can't talk bad about our hero!" bullshit:

Yup, criticisms from a former President so immediately irrelevant they guys can't help tripping over each other in crying how irrelevant he is. I'm waiting for the inevitable "carter/moore/time magazine" mash-up.

Hmm: this one's kinda interesting, i hadn't thought about it this way:

weird. How did you do that?

HOW MANY THINGS HAVE YOU NOT THOUGHT ABOUT THIS WAY TODAY???

I think the latest code revision only lets me post 3 images, and strips out all the rest of the image code from the post.

I was referring to the Sarkozy one.

new vacuum bags!

lol Jimmy Carter is literally a sack of shit for criticizing the President! He is surrounded by flies! He's the worst person in the world that has a Nobel Peace Prize!

Dude, in the labelling tradition of political cartoons, that must not be Carter but some guy named Bush Worst.

The Carter thing has elicited an astonishing outpouring of bullshit; I only wish he'd have stood his ground.

was that last cartoon drawn by a clever 10-yr-old?

A 10 year old lacking in any knowledge of Cuba's excellent universal healthcare system, apparently...

BUT FIDEL CASTRO, AN 80 YEAR OLD MAN, IS NOT IN PERFECT HEALTH!

Aside from the usual bullshit that anybody who talks about poverty who isn't squatting in it is an unserious hypocrite, using Henry VIII? they have to go to Henry VIII? How 'bout Rudy Giuliani?

DISCO...Barf

fairrington's handwriting doesnt seem to mind disco

and I object to his demonization of sweaters, Carter's or others

I do kinda enjoy the symmetry of it making as much sense to blame Carter for The Sweaters as for any of the other shit they pin on him.

i have to admit i still like that album carter made with giorgio moroder

Hating disco is like a litmus test for whether or not you're a provincial moron.

xpost HA

The Edwards cartoon is odd, as well, since the 4 examples are all ideals that the person in question (arguably) failed to live up to, whereas poverty could never be called something anyone aims for.

And that second cartoonist needs to learn how to spell "seize"- surely that's a cardinal error amongst cartoonists?

Also, i find it amusing that even these schmucks aren't repping for Gonzalez

I didn't know Jimmy Carter was personally responsible for the invention of disco. Was that via some sort of fedral programme or what?

Can we blame GWB for EMO?

I do like the "BARF" actually written out in a cartoon. '80s Mad Magazine had an effect on a lot of people, i see.

The sweaters were nice! I still put on a sweater instead of turning on the heat, Carter's advice was good!

I'm an ignorant Brit who doesn't really know much about American politics. Can one of you tell me which administration it was that bungled issues like UFOs and killer swamp rabbits?

That was the infamous McGillicutty administration. The sentiment for years afterward was that the Irish were never again to be trusted with public office.
