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.

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.

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

SRSLY? I am always won over by the hawtness of the women in the strips. and their general surrealism.

― The Real Dirty Vicar, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 17:10 (nineteen years ago)

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'

― deej, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 18:14 (nineteen years ago)

also get your war on = zzzzzzzz

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

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.

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

also get your war on = zzzzzzzz

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:

Falwell's Contribution

Clogging the artery?

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

that's not really rightie

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

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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

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

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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

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

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

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

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 (nineteen years ago)

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

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

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 (nineteen years ago)

Wait, isn't Gore a fairly religious person?

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

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

haha have you received emails about the breakfast burrito??

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

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 (nineteen years ago)

all the non-cartoon posts here sound like sour grapes
