it's only because I spent too long wondering why George W Bush was smoking dope there that I was able to figure out it was meant to be Bill Maher

Why are Richard Dawkins and Paul McCartney so upset?

that garrison cartoon is the very embodiment of libtears politics

the nobel prize one is...not wrong

my eyebrows are a bird
your eyebrows run away

Check the related essay on the Nobel prize one

says 2016 so maybe it's been posted on a previous thread but god DAMN

Police with their guns already drawn, confronted by several black men armed with:
1) a burning torch,
2) a set of brass knuckles, and
3) a stick,
plus one unarmed black man, but the police are talking as if they are totally about to die? Weirdly realistic.

imo, rightwing cartoons that are full-on alt-right/4-chan neo-nazi like this guy are not really 'batshit', I think to qualify as batshit the cartoon has to be inadvertently giving away more than the cartoonist intended? (Ben Garrison uses alt-right tropes but doesn't really understand them because he's a clueless boomer and is therefore batshit)

yeah that's not batshit, that's just repellent

Yeah, the Martian Mag dude is just straight Nazi; even has his own character in a Groyper pose for a Twitter pic

Ok but the dude getting his ass kicked is literally wearing a Nazi uniform pic.twitter.com/ujcLxo8dV4

lol

that's too good.

also love the circa '67 Berkeley flower child wielding the "love" sign. these guys' conception of "the Left" really hasn't changed in 40 years.

half the comments under the tweet are people trying to figure out whether it's a legit garrison-esque cartoon, or an attempt to parody garrison and company.

it took at least half a century for the cartoon trope of the bomb-throwing anarchist to die.

I had a look at the cartoonist's twitter feed, and I still can't quite work out what his angle is tbh - https://twitter.com/mackaycartoons/media

(it doesn't help that most of his cartoons are about Canadian politics, about which I know next to nothing).

He doesn't seem particularly right-wing, or particularly 'political' at all for a political cartoonist (which is maybe why the cartoon is confusing, it's what happens when an "I make fun of idiots on the left AND the right" guy tries to tackle this subject?)

from his Canadian political cartoons he seems left-leaning (seems both anti-Doug Ford and anti-Justin Trudeau), but also seems to think supporting the more left-leaning NDP is mostly a lost cause. So a pretty typical left of center Canadian basically.

This doesn't really get me much closer to guessing what he's going for with the above cartoon. It doesn't quite work as parody imo.

makes u think, right?

Yesssss

Trump, the Unconquerable Sun

Smuggest fucking sun I've ever seen

Love how Trump beams in these cartoons and can never manage more than a smirk or a grimace IRL

I like how he's put an eighth note next to the picture of Cher so you know it's Cher

dunno if Trump causing the planet to melt is the best metaphor here

Why does Jerry Garcia have a steak on his head?

assume it identifies him as the only one who's wrong

ben takin it to the next level

I remember a few years ago hearing some radio interview with him where he was like "I dont agree with everything the republicans stand for. I'm actually more of a libertarian!"

It sounded way off-base back then and has just become increasingly absurd.

uh whoa he really is, huh xp

ok nm that's fake? not that it matters lol

Was just thinking, that doesn't actually look like his work. The four ethnic stereotype heads are all obviously clip art, and BG always includes his copyright and URL beneath his signature. I think this is someone trying to smear him.

That said, the really fucked-up thing is that I saw that drawing on Twitter, retweeted by Ron Paul.

so... there are racist stereotype clip art images, is what I've learned from this thread

yeah i saw the ron paul thing. want to give my heartfelt apologies to ben for my contribution to this besmirching of his otherwise respectable brand

iirc, Garrison's origin story is that he first came to prominence when 4chan started trolling him by doctoring his loopy conspiracy theorist cartoons so they were explicitly about jews and white nationalism, he spent years trying to stop them, then eventually when the alt-right became a thing ppl like Milo and the Gorilla Mindset guy tapped him to do pictures for them because of the ironic appreciation of his art by their fans? He seems like the he probably would have ended up on the Trump-train regardless

That 'meltdown' one is just another unimaginative iteration of 'let us drink these delicious libtears'. I suspect this is because Ben couldn't figure out how to make the incarceration of toddlers appear as a bold new level of achievement.

That walking pyramid is a hell of a thing

4chan loves a bunch of dumb 80s caricatures signed "A. Wyatt Mann", and the Garrison modifications that Paul reposted are from that batch.

Was wondering how long before he got round to this:

The attached essay is...something.

Michael Moore is quite the big time power broker in Garrison's imagination. hope nobody tells him about John Oliver!

Rob Reiner, too.
