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

Just noticed something about this last two:

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.

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

"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

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

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

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

― kingfish, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:39 (nineteen years ago)

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.

hmm. that last comment is meant for this one:

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 (nineteen years ago)

haha I THOUGHT THAT WAS GAGGLE

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

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 (nineteen years ago)

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

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

STICK with etc

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

where's your electricity coming from?

― Ed, Monday, 21 May 2007 18:49 (nineteen years ago)

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

― kenan, Monday, 21 May 2007 18:51 (nineteen years ago)

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!)

― river wolf, Monday, 21 May 2007 18:53 (nineteen years ago)

otm, we're already slathering corn junkies

― kenan, Monday, 21 May 2007 18:54 (nineteen years ago)

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

― kingfish, Monday, 21 May 2007 18:57 (nineteen years ago)

and a hugely irresponsible use of arable land

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

― kenan, Monday, 21 May 2007 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

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

― river wolf, Monday, 21 May 2007 19:03 (nineteen years ago)

we should have an agriculture thread

― river wolf, Monday, 21 May 2007 19:04 (nineteen years ago)

For today, we have a rash of immigration ones:

Oh, the presidential seal in spanish! a margarita! such toons are so wealthy in semiotics!

http://www.creators.com/comics/37/5756_thumb.jpg

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:
