Y'see, these are the guys that Chris Hedges talks about

Wish there were "sorcery fun" classes when I was in school!!

also pharaoh/moses appears to be a roman charioteer, which bugs me as well . must be because that guy has avoided being struck by "CRITICAL THINKING".

No, Moses is down here in the corner Mystery Science Theatre 3000 style. And so he's parting the waters to lead them little children away from them Islamists and gays.

Right, but... the only figure seen traveling through the parted waters is Pharaoh's Public Schools (represented as a Roman charioteer, admittedly) - while the waters themselves represent the similarly EVIL "Convert" and "Gay Pride." So is Pharaoh parting the waters for himself? I'd say I wish there was a label on whatever it is that's causing the chariot wreck, but inevitably it would be a used copy of SORCERY FUN. Ooooooof. Between this guy and the one who does the furryesque, motto-laden politician portraits, it's been a pretty good hunt lately.

Setting aside the batshit vision of educational content, I also wonder about this person's grasp of educational policy. Why is it, for example, that TAXES are what keep the children from fleeing to their beloved CHRISTIAN SCHOOL and HOME SCHOOL? And if they are stuck there, why is there a VACANCY on the door? Maybe the tattoo on DEPT OF EDUCATION's bicep holds a clue, but as far as I can tell it says "EDUGRODE" which isn't very illuminating. It's a shame this artist seems to be kind of a one-issue nut - surely the grim spectre of CRITICAL THINKING has infected other sectors of our once-great nation? It's such a great bludgeon, in any case; any time someone raises concerns about your work - any kind of concerns! - you can claim they've been corrupted by CRITICAL THINKING...

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 7 June 2007 01:04 (sixteen years ago) link

Jumping back above, I love how a single man is both NEA and CALIF DEPT OF EDUCATION. Meanwhile, MILITANT HOMOSEXUALITY is even groping the crucified BODY OF CHRIST, which oddly enough looks very little like any depiction I've ever seen of the BODY OF CHRIST. Isn't it customary in these cartoons to take easily recognizable images with strong metaphorical impact and then label them with something other than what they'd normally be? BODY OF CHRIST is a little on the nose, don't you think?

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 7 June 2007 01:07 (sixteen years ago) link

Wow, that guy.

"Maybe the tattoo on DEPT OF EDUCATION's bicep holds a clue, but as far as I can tell it says "EDUGRODE" which isn't very illuminating"

I think it's EDUGODS. Because, like science and Darwinism, education is just another kind of religion that worships thunderbolt throwing Greek gods. And where are those Greek gods now, eh?

Two months later, why not have another "I can't understand why black people can say words Don Imus can't" strip?

I don't even get it - native american women are selling all their casinos and opening restaurants?

Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 7 June 2007 22:11 (sixteen years ago) link

i think the setup is supposed to be that you think "wow those NM's are really well off, eating in a fancy restaurant and all" and then the punchline is that they OWN the restaurant.

gr8080, Thursday, 7 June 2007 22:13 (sixteen years ago) link

Cartoonist clearly has no idea how many resaurants end up as failed business ventures -- very expensive ones. Owning a restaurant is no guarantee of solvency, in fact rather the opposite.

Laurel, Thursday, 7 June 2007 22:16 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah still not funny.

You could use that picture of Osama at the end of pretty much all these cartoons.

These ones seem pretty pedestrian by the standards of much of this thread, but i'm how much these are joeks and how much is just straight belief/projection from these guys:

Does your dad know that FDR was a Democrat? If anyone was calling for us not to get involved in WWII, it would have been conservative isolationists, right? So the analogy to the evil liberal media of today is ... ?

humansuit, Saturday, 9 June 2007 04:58 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah I mean having deposed Hitler already and him having been hung by his fellow germans, D-day was kind of a waste of time

Jeffrey Feldman wrote about the same kinda thing as what's going on in the cartoon, the conflation/transference of the "War on Terror" to the "War on Jihadism", which connects up quite nicely to the "culture war" thing that powered rightwingers for a coupla decades now.

kingfish, Saturday, 9 June 2007 20:10 (sixteen years ago) link

That Iranian Crypt Keeper is cold. Hanging people from his bullets.

Of course the best way to fight the Iranian Jihad is to depose its biggest enemy regimes.

I kind of enjoy all these Thompson cartoons. Just the open lusting laid bare for a candidate other than the 10 actually declared. While many people would be happy if somebody like Gore finally declared(me among them), i'm more than fine with like 2-4 of the candidates we already got becoming elected.

like with the Time magazine thing, nothing proves how irrelevant something is than a legion of pundits taking a good amount of time to loudly bray how irrelevant something is.

This may be unpopular-but I have a lot of sympathy for Paris Hilton, influenced at least partially by her recent high-profile public appearances with a Bible and reports that she's praying while in jail. My previous Paris Hilton cartoon alluded to the fact that her great-grandfather Conrad, founder of Hilton Hotels, was a very committed Catholic.

I had to look up what Jude is the Saint of. Lost causes, it seems.
