 1Another cartoon that would not work with   2Good god that Obama.  3Man gently caress that grey, vaguely shaped creature.  4  5Your brain is explosive.   6The threat of terrorism is all in our head. Also, horse nuts.  7What the hell is everyone's fascination with Scotland's rear end?  8No, seriously.  9 10Ah yes, the infamous Gangs.  11Maybe you should reconsider being aligned with a party whose main tactic is fear? Just a thought.

Doesn't the classic (or rather, oft-repeated) version of the chess cartoon go like "one side is all pawns, the other is the usual line-up" in a class allegory?

These are nice cartoons and all but I don't think the cartoonists were aware of an independent Scotland still going to be a member of the Commonwealth of Nations with QE2 as their head of state.

As someone who knew who Eratosthenes was without looking him up and who likes the creativity of his methods, I fail to see how he has any real bearing on an understanding of recent US and world history on the level of everyone the student mentions. Teaching about Eratosthenes can help demonstrate how to set up a simple experiment to solve what seems like an overwhelmingly huge problem, but the upshot of his work is 'the world is round', which doesn't really make him a critical figure that needs to be taught about. The same with Newton. He came up with insanely important tools for mathematics and physics, but if you're not learning how to use those tools, there's not really any other reasons to teach about him. On the other hand Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks played visible parts in important US history events and are important to understanding the context of the world we presently live in. Nelson Mandela is a figure on the world stage of some importance, but I don't think he's heavily focused on in most curriculums, which tend to focus on more directly US focused stuff. Anne Frank gives younger people an approachable look into a situation which can be very hard to grasp and fully conceptualize, the everyday quality and frequent digression into issues outside the holocaust that most pre-teens and early teenagers are dealing with is where a lot of the value in that narrative comes from In short, it's really obvious why you would teach about some people and not others, as long as you aren't a raging rear end in a top hat.

I love how he doesn't even try to refute the first panel and the second panel tells me that if I join their cause I can rape any woman I want with impunity. It's a rare thing to see MRA's argue their endgame so honestly.

Huh, even though the art is lovely, this artist is at least somewhat familiar with how Chess is played (and how the board is set up), and is using that to make a point. Explanation for non-Chess players: this is a really bad opening by Obama, his King is exposed to attack with no way to escape, and neither his Bishop or Queen can move. Also, if whoever-the-hell-that-is plays right, then it's a possible Fool's mate in 2 turns. Of course, this cartoon relies on the reader being slightly familiar with how Chess works.

Animated cartoon, but definitely political. It's about the Syrian equivalent to EMT's and first responders who show up at every bombing. It's really good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKdVvqi5Vh8 Here's a massive article from a journalist who was embedded with them. https://medium.com/matter/whoever-saves-a-life-1aaea20b782

He wants visitation rights (pretty reasonable, I think the first time I've ever said that about a Muir) but phrased in in the plural. Last panel reveals he and Mossad Operative seem to have taken a detour to get off-panel married? I dunno. e: Also he called Liberal Sister a cow because it just wouldn't be a Chris Muir product without casual hatred of women.

Bush is winning in Iraq, but losing against the recession? I don't understand, by the time the 2007-08 recession started the US was clearly not winning in Iraq.
