I lied and said I broadly agreed with his thesis. Also I said he should draw more holiday cartoons because those are my favorite. Which isn't a lie. Occasionally I do laugh when he's making Jewish dadjokes.

I thought McCay was just some rear end in a top hat making political cartoons that no one paid him for. I am all in favor of satire, but racist poo poo that McCay dreams up is just offensive.

McCoy's cartoons will hopefully be in a history book as an example of how American society in the early 21st century was openly racist but got very offended when you brought it up.

Huh, has Kelly ever drawn Obama before? He mostly sticks to his own characters, the sophisticated adults and mixed-up teens and so on.

Other than purely on an intellectual level, it's hard for me to accept that there are people who are actually scared or angry about taxes. They're just...a thing that you do when you live in a modern society.

Yeah, once. It was him putting on his "black" disguise in order to gain political points. I think that's the only other time, though. He seems to stick mostly to personal, inconsequential things, which is a perfect parody of how petty the discourse has become in the culture wars as well as being a comment on the right.

I touched the poop that is Yaakov Kirschen and expressed my concern that his birdy cards are promoting an image of certain Jews as race traitors. I was polite and offered compliments about some of his other cartoons, expecting an equally polite response and maybe a counterargument for why the cards aren't as problematic as I said they were.

Instead, he just replied with an image, no text:



:iceburn:

I guess he just considers it self-evident that Jewish people disagreeing with the state of Israel is a bad thing?

This is like one of those cartoons where unless you already agree with the artist, you just look at it and say "yeah...and?"

There is a 165% chance that wingnut cartoonists would be ripping on Obama if he did show up, for "hogging the spotlight" and their usual longhand for the word "uppity."

The best part is that free CC would actually save money, due to tax credits, grants, and loans.

Plus, the proposal isn't "FREE FREE FREE!" it's "go at least half-time (6+ hours), and maintain a 2.5 GPA, and you still have to feed, clothe, and house yourself." Utterly reasonable, so of course conservatives will freak the gently caress out about it.
