It's a toilet that's in the middle of the room instead of being against the wall because Rall is inept.

One mother held her baby's face to the floor and chewed off his feet and fingers.

Now I'm wondering what that's like. Just sitting on a whole on the floor with my legs splayed out in front of me like some kind of baby, just pooping away.

I dunno, that guy's left leg is shooting out in a weird loving direction. That's not splayed, that's broken and/or detached.

This really is an actual thing some jackass is trying to get on the ballot. I dunno about other states with the initiative system, but in California every two years there is guaranteed to be at least one insane proposition floated that's too mental to get the required signatures, let alone pass. Last year I think it was abolishing divorce. This year the six-states initiative will be joined in the looney bin with an initiative to create pro-discrimination laws even wider than what Arizona proposed, and a measure to assign a state representative to every 5,000 people (if you've ever wondered why you always hear about some nutcase state senator from New Hampshire, it's because they have that exact system. Of course, with CA's population that'd total 7,400 assembly members.)

Also pot. Every election there's an initiative to legalize pot.

I'm concerned that Obama's head is expanding.

I'm excited to see what comics come out of Diane Feinstein's statements about NSA spying. Democrats are such pussies that they call rampantly illegal espionage "inappropriate" instead of, you know, criminal activity that should result in court trials.

The show in question is about the CIA, not the NSA. They're not the same organizations. Attempts to link the two are spurious.

One of the (many) things that annoys me about Rall is just how extremely incompetent he is at drawing firearms considering how often he pictures them. I don't expect cartoonists to know too much about guns but why can't he just do himself a favour and learn to draw a simple AK, an M4 and some sort of basic handgun and just draw those three basic designs for the rest of his life? I'm by no means an artist but I think I could manage to teach myself that in about an hour or so.

What struck me about those isn't that because whatever, you can tell it's a gun, it's that he draws people holding them like they're strumming on guitars. He's a 'cartoonist' who can't draw a person holding something.

Californians are nuts about their East meets West fusion. It makes perfect sense.

And pump-action shotgun/pistol/test tube hybrids are a stroke of genius. You can break every bone in your hands, burn the hell out of your palm, and send thousands of glass shards flying away in every direction at the speed of sound all in one trigger pull, assuming you can reach it.

Recently, someone explored the archives of The World Today Just Nuts, and revealed that its creator is a hardcore feminist (if that's even the right word. "Female chauvinist" maybe?) who opposes Barack solely out of loyalty to Hillary, and also liked Palin a lot.

I feel that that bit of info doesn't really jibe with this most recent cartoon.

John Kerry's final tour of duty, where he earned his medals, lasted only four months, but he served four tours between 1966 and 1970.

This is four more years than Chris Muir ever served in a war zone.

I've seen Rall speak. He frequently talks about how cartooning is awesome because you don't need to know how to draw. Just have a good idea, and that's good enough. He cited stuff like "Dilbert" as an example of a popular comic strip done by somebody who can't draw.
