GBS 2.0 is significantly less useful for finding out about current events, so I keep up with the news through political cartoons (and they're posted here earlier than where I used to check them).

There's no doubt in my mind that if Obama used the Trans Pacific Partnership to strong-arm Asia into banning finning Rall would be whining about how imperialist it is to say that it's wrong and it's their culture man.

He could always just switch to another issue - rainforest destruction, labor conditions, pollution... Unless Obama transforms the region into a literal Heaven on Earth, Rall will find something to criticize. And you know what, he would hate that Utopia too for being a bourgeois attempt to strip the proletariat of its class consciousness.

Maybe it's that I'm outside the US, but the environmental concerns - and in particular the lax stance on finning compared to earlier agreements - are literally the only aspects of the TPP deal I've seen anyone talk about. BBC Example.

The gently caress does this even mean? A bad hair day is something that's unfortunate but only lasts a day, and it's placed on something labelled "McDonnell's legacy" which is permanent, so which is it? Has McDonnell managed to screw up his legacy, or is this a temporary thing that will pale in comparison to the rest of his work? I've seen plenty of cartoons easy to AGC, but this is the first in a while where I can't even tell which side the author intended. It'd be a lot easier if you PUT IN SOME loving EFFORT, GORREL.

Is there a reason that Ramirez draws halos around all of his characters? I don't know anything about drawing or illustrating. I mean, I gather it is some kind of flaw in his technique, but I don't understand it.

Also holy poo poo his cursive/CAPITAL LETTERS thing is even more obnoxious than usual in that cartoon.

Uhh pot is beloved by hippies, famous for their devotion to soft-minded concepts as "stop with the warrin'" and "black people: maybe dealt a rough hand".

The halo lets you actually see the characters, instead of playing 'Hidden Pictures'. The occasional cartoon where he doesn't use the halo actually looks a lot better.

I think this is because smoke in general is bad for the lungs, but the chemicals in cigarette smoke tends to also be directly harmful on top of that. EDIT ^ Yeah I am pretty sure that's directly just a white man's burden comic.

This seems relevant. From the 2014 thread.FMguru posted:FL-18 - Allen West's old district - has a new contender. 77 year old Ilya Katz, a refugee from the Soviet Union (they're still around, right?) who worked as a full time "knight watchman". He's your basic colorful crank slash unmedicated schizophrenic, a staple of the field. What makes him stand out are his satirical cartoons, which are really only missing some inverted triangles and the word "purestrain" to send me all the way back to 2008.
