batshit rightwing cartoons -- 2017 unto eschaton

He's also written a long article entitled "Advice for Aspiring Cartoonists" in case anyone wants to follow in his footsteps.

when the Trump project inevitably disintegrates it will be because of the sinister machinations of the shadowy elite made up of the Republican establishment the Deep State and the Rothschilds

the media has its golden goose so the "project" (whatever that is) disintegrating not likely to happen. he could be impeached and exiled from the country and we will still hear about every single dumb thing he tweets for the rest of his and our livee.

lives even

impeachment or resignation or criminal charges of some sort is the disintegration I'm talking about, sorry if you would like that phrased differently.

"How does he claim to be a "rogue cartoonist" when one of his defining features is completely unquestioning loyalty to the president of the USA?"

this is trump's base generally; hence the focus on the evil media and derp state machinations to explain why having trump in charge isn't magically fulfilling all their dreams and changing the entire system.

Not sure if "derp state" is a typo or not, but I like it.

An accurate description of the current administration I hope it catches on.

lol, yes, typo

I'm sort of grimly fascinated by Ben Garrison. How does he claim to be a "rogue cartoonist" when one of his defining features is completely unquestioning loyalty to the president of the USA?

Trump had the conspiracy theorist types in his pocket from the get-go; had assumed that if he were ever to win he'd lose them instantly, like they'd have to think "welp, he's a lizard person/bilderberg stooge/whatever now". But the combative nature of his presidency, the fact that it always looks just about to fall apart, has made it so you can now maintain wake up sheeple cred while repping for the most powerful man in the United States.

this one's cracking me up bc he had to make justice peeking out from her blindfold so that it would make sense that she's reacting to hillary's pointing

like the whole point of that image is that justice is blind

physical envelopes marked "e" lol

as loony as Garrison is his attention to detail is pretty much unparalleled

Bit of a rubbish one this week, but just look at the detail on Trump's pecs, the biceps, the detail around the crotch, the big, manly hands. Phoar.

Big hands I know you're the one

I'm pretty sure he stuffs those gloves.

This will almost certainly end in a depiction of Trump simultaneously eviscerating an enemy and tenderly fucking the cartoonist.

Ummmm, what is Manhatten supposed to be in that one?

I liek how lady justice is peekign just as COmey warned

I like it because sideways USA Trump reminds me of Leroy Lockhorn

https://bjornb876.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/7c744-image002.gif

looks more like Loretta imo

It's relevant because America's relationship with Trump is much like Leroy and Loretta's marriage. Trump is drunk again at a party and dancing with a floozy while wearing a lampshade. Loretta is spending Leroy's payceck at the department store again.

I'm not sure which one is which here, but it makes sense if you think about it.

wow @ that one

That is... something. Watch out, Canada.

totally approve of bringing back 18th century noun capitalization if it means the words also have to be red and blue

lmao @ running 8 bit Trump in shape of continental US

totally approve of bringing back 18th century noun capitalization if it means the words also have to be red and blue

it's funny to think that a few years ago this guy was complaining about 4chan doctoring his cartoons to make them look anti-semitic

The Rothschilds?!? STILL?!

Now more than ever.

missed the chance for star of david cufflinks

I thought the yellow triangle was bad enough.

Worse even

This is his new one today. Main takeaway for me is something along the lines of 'U Mad Bro?'

Feeling that one to certain extent- personally I 'm extremely mad at McCain for coming back, voting to proceed on hcare, inspiring some venof our invective from me at least some of which has to be walked back now.

I personally am not feeling anything that uses "trannies" to any extent whatsoever.

I don't know, man. I mean the transmission is a pretty integral part of the automobile. And if I need to get it repaired, let's fix that tranny!

(also, this has to be the most Kelly-from-the-Onion Garrison cartoon yet?)

How would that not be a great arc on Star Trek?

Nice, lumping in the Furries with all that.

I actually laughed an honest, non-ironic laugh at that one. I mean, look how absolutely ridiculous it is. How could that not be joke about a joke about a joke?

I'm not about to Google this guy or visit his website. Surely, he's not serious, right?

He's very serious, but I have to admit that I laughed too, because in the middle of all the transphobia he remembered to do the Shatner line delivery shtick - "You've ... gone ... too far!"

Damn, that's too bad.

yeah he's definitely at the top of the facist cartoonist power rankings. Dilbert dude is probably #2.

this isn't 'right-wing' but it is ridiculously low effort and stupid, and it annoys me that he re-drew Will Smith as Putin but drew Chris Rock as just regular Chris Rock with a label saying 'Ukraine' (while Putin has an entirely redundant label saying 'Putin'?). Conceptually muddled.

Worst schools in the world. Ranked 24th.

the guy who draws these is a big fan of James Gunn - he replied to one of Gunn's tweets with a message saying "one of my cartoons... great artists like Gunn inspire other artists like me..." and then this cartoon:

I can't even work out what the clothing of the guy on the left here is meant to convey (except that he's a Dumbocrat, I guess?)

it is ridiculous but quite worrying that the nazis have gone full-on in trying to redefine racism as "saying something is racist" or even "talking about race"

xp the guy on the right, rather. the one in orange.

guarantee you that the creator of these looks exactly like his cut'n paste republican in the purple shirt.

i couldn't remember the name of this thread so i had to google "bad conservative political cartoonist" to remember ben garrison's name so i could search for it on ilx to find this thread

Are we spending our finite time on Earth wisely? And do we even grasp how finite that time is?

In the chapter we’ve excerpted below, Tim uses the tale of a made-up land called Hypothetica to show how easily people can be forced into saying—and eventually thinking—the same things. (The piece is longer than our usual fare, in part because of the illustrations, so consider printing it out or saving for this evening over a cocktail.)

amazing

making myself sad by thinking about the person contemplating whether they're spending their finite time on earth wisely and then printing out an article from thefp.com and spending their evening reading it over a cocktail
