It's funny how much conservatives HATE Al Sharpton, whereas most liberals just don't give a poo poo about him either way.

If it's one thing that shuts down a business, it's being called out on their bigotry. Why, just look at what happened to Chick Fil-A and Hobby Lobby!

Alrighty, it's Giles time.

Carl Giles was a pretty drat good editorial cartoonist between the 40s and the 70s, did pieces mainly for the Daily Express.

His cartoons were mostly like this, single panel with a caption and the understanding that his readers would have the spare time to go over all the action.

As far as political leanings went, he was usually on the left, but occasionally would hint towards centre-right on a few issues. Here we see him demonstrating situational irony - for those who can't see it, the fellow on the left is protesting the conditions of ambulance drivers and encouraging the strike.

This one showcases the regulars of his comics - the family. You'll see this lot in a great deal of his comics alongside Chalky the schoolteacher. Pay attention to that loving grandma.

Just look at that.

In any case, Giles was super popular as editorial cartoonists go. He even got a bronze statue of one of his characters made and placed in front of his old workstation in Ipswitch!

Giles is magnificent. I used to get his annuals every Christmas.

I don't think there were very many Scalise cartoons. It probably didn't help that the story broke during the last week of the year, when there weren't many cartoons in general. The Lester above is the only one I saw that made any effort to defend Scalise (but even Lester couldn't do more than try to change the subject).

I went to a state government-run propaganda indoctrination camp outside of Atlantic City where I got a BA in Creative Writing. Black helicopters were used as campus transportation. they say they're absolutely silent in flight but lemme tell you, when you're standing in the aisles of one and there's like 40 other students crammed into them, they're noisy.

Depending on who you ask, the green is either a "sentimental police color" or honors the NYPD's Irish heritage in its formative years (Tammany Hall!)

Also, those Giles National Safety Cartoons are fantastic.
