CAW CAW CAW

Dinosaur Gum
e: Now with commentary!
Worst Middle East Cartoon: L Lester is just scummy. Sometimes I hate him more than Ramirez. Pretty much any I/P comic that involves Palestinian children is tied with this for "worst Middle East cartoon" though. I dislike Dry Bones as a whole but I think he's done worse ones this year than those featured here.
Worst Police Brutality Cartoon: B gently caress you Ramirez.
Worst Torture Report Cartoon: D You're a scumfuck, Ramirez.
Worst The Interview Cartoon: E Koreans are not Chinese you incompetent gently caress. (This "Yeah all Asians are the same right" annoys me more than "HORRYWOOD" but it was a close call.)
Worst cartoon about a tragedy: C I ended up flipping a coin between this and F (Peshawar). The depiction of black individuals and organisations (and the MEDIA which is run by Jews blacks) as ravening wolves gnawing on Justice and using the massacre of children for a cheap jab at Islam are both pretty heinous.
Worst caricature: G It's 2014 and that is getting used as an unironic base for a caricature. Holy gently caress.
Worst "A Thing Happened" cartoon: I What do these even have to do with each other?
Worst Label: J ROMNEY WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERY-THING
Least concealed bigotry in a cartoon: H If I could vote "Every single one" I would, Jesus gently caress.
Laziest cartoon: L You didn't even take the time to look up the way they're meant to proceed in order of severity, Ramirez.
Most easily reinterpreted: D The first time I saw this one I didn't realise it was meant to be interpreted the other way and I still sometimes have to remind myself of how it's meant to be read and that the artist is a scumfuck.
Overall worst political cartoon of the year: I It just seems that this one best sums up the massive victim-blaming that is the heart and soul of terrible political cartoons.
Best edit/parody: D I love Ye Fowl Herald.

H. Perfect combo of laziness and lovely opinions.

Worst Police Brutality Cartoon
E. gently caress you that's not what Sharpton stands for and you loving know it.

Worst Torture Report Cartoon
D. How dare you.

Worst The Interview Cartoon
C. Way to miss the point, Chip.

Worst cartoon about a tragedy
J, because time has shown it to be hilariously wrong.

Worst caricature
G. I wish I could vote for all of these, though.

Worst "A Thing Happened" cartoon
O. It's racist and A Thing Happened! Yay!

Worst Label
G. It's a redundant label. It's also a label that's unnecessary and repetitive. It's also a useless extraneous label.

Least concealed bigotry in a cartoon
H, because not concealed at all is by definition "least concealed".

Laziest cartoon
A, and if anything else wins I will do exactly what Gorrell did here.

Most easily reinterpreted
B, because I actually have to remind myself that one's obvious to me interpretation is the opposite of what's intended.

Overall worst political cartoon of the year
D. How dare you again.

Best edit/parody
G, mostly because of the newspaper anagram being really impressive.

With the way this thing is growing, by 2016 we'll need Greek letters for the largest categories. Or more realistically, we'll have some kind of vetting process.

Would it be easier for everyone to read the nominees if I TIMG all the images?

Karl Rove posted:


I requested this comic to be included as Overall Worst and it still has my vote, otherwise: I

Sorry, I missed that. I see you nominated it as "Worst Middle East Cartoon and Worst Overall Cartoon", and I missed the second part while compiling the nominees. It is now nominee J.

I generally don't actually post in the thread, but been following it all year. Suffice to say I can merely agree that this year was UGLY.

Worst Middle East Cartoon
A , this year was the first where I really followed the Palestine situation. This category in particular has awful, awful, AWFUL candidates this year, but the "Why indeed" part is a particular brand of bile I wish Ramirez would just choke on already.

Worst Police Brutality Cartoon
B No seriously, choke on it Ramirez.

Worst Torture Report Cartoon
G, "inarguable" indeed, you dense motherfucker.

Worst The Interview Cartoon
D I could not for the life of me figure out why this was made in relation to The Interview until someone pointed out how it was reusing stuff from one of Catalino's old ones. It wins for me just because of how forced it feels.

Worst cartoon about a tragedy
F, if your first reaction to a terrible thing like the Peshawar school massacre is "Sick burn on them moslems", what even the gently caress is wrong with you.
Honorable mention goes to G for hilariously wrong it turned out to be regarding Ebola compared to the other things depicted.

Worst caricature
A, I'm not sure if this is oozing mostly contempt or incompetence. Incontempence?

Worst "A Thing Happened" cartoon
C , for which has to be one of the most masturbatory anniversary cartoons I ever read about anything, and for IBD of all things.

Worst Label
G DEBT DEBT DEBT DEBT

Laziest cartoon
A Whoever said Gorrell might as well get a lifetime achievement for this category was spot on.

Most easily reinterpreted
B Have another one you hack.

Overall worst political cartoon of the year
I, there was a LOT of victim blaming this year, but this one got to me the most by far.

Best edit/parody The category that makes following the thread bearable. To everyone who contributes to these, thank you so much.
This is by far the hardest one to decide on, but my vote is for I , every time I look at it, I find another beautiful reference to the horrors and joys of the year.

Somfin posted:

Cartoon Hell

Talent's evil, you won't miss it
We'll find ways to simulate that skill,
Copy-paste that fella,
Song verse that scans worse than e-bo-ella,
Here on level one of cartoon hell!

Your drawing's racist, please explain it,
Christ what do you mean you doubled down?
We'll let Rorus Raz decide,
What parody he will supply,
That we'll enjoy on level two! (Ooh, pantsless donkey!)

Just tell me why!
Please read this 85-page fanfic!
There must be cartoons worse than mine.
The arguments on that are frantic.
Then please let me explain,
My 'toons were simply stating facts.
You mocked school shootings, nukes and blacks!
Don't blame me, blame politicians!
Please stop drinking, quit your bitchin'.

When you get the basics wrong,
Your "80 hours of research" don't suffice.
Y'all 'toonists gonna feel the heat!
Get your viewpoints warped with an AGC!
That's whatcha-watcha-watcha get on level three!

I don't feel well.
We check the cartoons for today.
Maybe we like it here in hell,
Its us who cannot look away.
Maybe I'll touch the poop as well
Don't do that, you'll get shot,
Unless it's funny, and it's not.
Let's take a look at Kirschen-land.
Those eyes look like Venn diagrams!

Mocking victims, outright lying,
Publishing this crap for all to see,
You'll pay for all your toons,
Knee deep in the wrath of goons,
You can call us left-wing loons
But all your friends retire soon,
Leaving you with us in cartoon hell!

Overall worst political cartoon of the year I

I get this (bad) cartoon, but I don't really get the edit. I guess it's trying to make a sarcastic statement but it doesn't really do it for me because it doesn't really show the Zoe Quinn analogue in an especially positive light, I guess... But maybe that's the weird addition of the pants at her shins in the lower image making her a bit of a joke. :shrug:
It's supposed to make fun of the fact that they basically had to invent a woman that supported their horseshit. I added the pants because I have a sickness.

Worst Middle East Cartoon: H
While the politics are uniformly reprehensible, some of the candidates (such as "Why?") are actually well drawn and make for effective propaganda. This submission by Dry Bones, however, is a failure of cartooning: wordy, lazy and incoherent.

Worst Police Brutality Cartoon: B
Dear lord. This could be printed in a dictionary next to the entry for "victim-blaming." So loving smug, Ramirez.

Worst Torture Report Cartoon: H
I was going to select E, but I'm not certain it even qualifies as a cartoon. In H, Branco seizes a national tragedy as grist for his own unrelated agenda mill. "Environmental regulations are the real torture, amirite?"

Worst The Interview Cartoon: B
Hooray, lazy racism!

Worst cartoon about a tragedy: H
Huh?

Worst caricature: A
The glowing halo carries this abomination to victory. "This isn't even my final form!"

Worst "A Thing Happened" cartoon: Q
With minor adjustments to the captions, this cartoon could have been printed at any point during the last 30 years. And probably was. (Although F, literally an "A Thing Happened" cartoon, was a very strong contender.)

Worst Label: K
G's "DEBT DEBT DEBT" is head-shakingly bad, but K is the Jaden Smith Tweet of political cartooning. "How Can Labels Be Real If Cartoons Aren't Real?"

Least concealed bigotry in a cartoon: H
A very difficult pick, but I'm going with this one because it's not even a racist caricature. It's a photograph of a perfectly innocent woman who had the misfortune of posing for a stock photo. Let's assume she's a lazy idiot based solely on her skin color!

Laziest cartoon: J
On a deadline? To the photocopier!

Most easily reinterpreted: B
InequalityGodzilla said it best: "Swords into ploughshares? What sort of rear end in a top hat would want that?"

Overall worst political cartoon of the year: I
gently caress you, Ramirez.

Best edit/parody: G
I thought Bennett's original was actually quite clever, but this parody made me giggle because at heart I am twelve years old. Bonus points for "IDIOT SEES LETTERS ON A MAT."
