A quite loverly quote from kingfish's second link:

"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security does not review spending by police departments and other agencies, a spokeswoman said. Audits by the federal Government Accountability Office have so far only examined how quickly grant money is spent, not what it has purchased."

FOLLOW THE MONEY (but wear comfortable shoes)

not what it has purchased.

Holy shit, Josh nails it

...political cartoonists need to show televisions in their cartoons because that’s the only way to show Americans interacting with information

The Leno/Conan one feels like it's the middle of a much longer narrative. Some sort of editorial cartoon graphic novel maybe?

"...and no one says a word about the blatant hypocrisy of it all."

Haw haws, I have trouble dealing with complex systems, or the fact that "weather" and "climate" are two different things.

The Rudy one isn't all that batshit insane, although it's quite poorly drawn. I'd like to see a book that shows longitudinally the way caricature of various figures developed as their time in the spotlight went on - is it a continuous improvement or is there a moment when suddenly everybody gets the memo about how to draw Public Figure X?

Every time I look @ one of those "day by day" strips, I want actual physical harm to come to the artist.

that ass could start a global jihad.

― Frogman Henry, Monday, 14 May 2007 09:37 (nineteen years ago)

These Day By Day things are amazing, I'm looking at some of the older ones and I can't work out why this person decided they wanted to draw things for a living.

http://www.daybydaycartoon.com/cartoons/02-07-2005.gif

You want to show a university in your cartoon but you don't feel like drawing today. You know that universities often look like big houses, but with columns and cloisters and stuff. Do you a) Do a GIS for "University" and stick that picture in the strip? Or do you b) GIS "big house" and "columns" and cut and paste the columns onto the house, knowing that people will logically figure out it's a university?

That "how" joke isn't as good as the one where the punchline is "diving header in the six yard box"

― DJ Mencap, Monday, 14 May 2007 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

Ha, yeah that Day by Day guy has a real thing for that particular ass-angle, doesn't he? Just in case any readers forget that these soldiers are women and women are for sexin'. But only by men.

Without commenting on the usual copy-pasted ass, this idiot reportedly went to Iraq, and these are the insights he came back with to fill his cartoons.

Have fun with this one:

http://www.creators.com/comics/37/5750_thumb.jpg

We either have:

1) head of syria = our enemies
2) syrians = saudis, or maybe this guys seem them all as towelheads
3) doing anything other than sending other people's kids to die is "making nice," i.e. basic functions of state diplomacy and negotiation is both failure and the craven appeasement from pussies
4) wtf with the spade nose?
5) Josh was right again in last week's Cartoon Violence; the only way we can show americans interacting with information is to show them watching tv, and we as the audience need to see the tv b/c watching tv is fun.
6) ...?(write in your own)

http://jewishworldreview.com/strips/pc/pc051407.jpg

This was such a great joke/talking point that we needed to use it again, almost word for word, in consecutive strips.

Nancy Pelosi is hanging out with Jamie Farr on the set of Cannonbal Run 2.

All hail The Breck Girl.

One of the reasons I dig trolling thru this shit is that I find it fascinating how the usual rightwing talking points, no matter how incoherent, disingenious, hateful, or incorrect, get pushed by not only the usual coterie of rightwing broadcast and print blowhards, but also the drawers, too.

And remember, if you have money, if you care about anybody else, if you talk about it, and if you're not possessed by a single-minded nature to accrue as much shit and power in your corner and to fuck over everybody else, you're a craven, lying hypocrite who deserves to be personally attacked. If you're not squatting in it, you should shut the fuck up and let God's appointed leaders go about their business.

Then there's the whole hilariously insecure/macho/anti-metro reactionary bit, that only them hom'sexuals give a shit about how they look, and if you do too, you're so emasculated that you might as well be wearin' a dress. It's like these guys' heads would explode if shaving kits became popular again.

This kind of art has been martialled and deployed in political campaigns for at least 500 years, it really is not very surprising or even remarkable. Implying that a candidate is gay, or too feminine, or whatever. It's base and it works. Prepare yourself for a mega-dose of this crap whichever Democrate gets nominated. They will be painted as slightly weird, off-kilter, fake, overambitious, unsure of who they are, etc. etc. What is surprising and remarkable is that Democrats seems so perpetually surprised by it when it happens, and so unprepared to fight it.

Marie Antoinette and Catherine the Great to thread!

It's not so much that assertion that I single out, but more this particular instance where one little mistake/media event thing was seized upon as an aperture to let all the usual emasculating bullshit to flow in. Such things are the source of the usual bullshit narratives that get promulgated by "serious" NYT/WaPo punditry.

we need a palate cleanser. Not entirely Batshit and maybe only rightwing when viewed through a certain sort of rearview smoked glass, but there's nothing more awesome than the editorial cartoons of Winsor McCay.

So is Phil Donahue off the hook for being 100% correct & 0% wrong about Iraq?
Or do these guys just have no memory retention beyond the three latest Enemies of Freedom?

― Mike Dixn, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 16:32 (nineteen years ago)

Like with everybody else in american media, those who got everything about iraq wrong are still used as serious expects, and everybody who actually knew what the fuck they were talking about should not be consulted as they are obviously unserious partisians.

― kingfish, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

The anti-climate change ones seem to all follow the entirely false logic that hypocrisy in certain proponants of climate change=THE WHOLE THING IS SHAM.

― chap, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 17:01 (nineteen years ago)

Either that or the entirely false logic that science is not to be trusted, and we should only believe what we see with our own eyes from day to day.

When he tries to be good, you get general surrealism. However, when he tries general surrealism...

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

i just tend to find them more 'boring' and less funny than right wing for some reason, usually just relentless bush is dumb 'humor'

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

― kingfish, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 18:19 (nineteen years ago)

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

― A B C, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 02:52 (nineteen years ago)

(i still like it overall)

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:

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).
