I had a tab still from a few days ago on Sacco and his works: http://theculturetrip.com/north-america/usa/articles/the-universal-language-of-the-image-joe-sacco-s-comics-and-conflicts/ Well I can't claim it concerned myself it concernd me much as a Youngin, I remember seeing the shelling of Sarajevo o the news, and later i met one refugee in school...an rear end in a top hat then but later we played warhammer together. So it has been from literature mostly, I follow an historian Marko Atill Hoare after reading Sacco....but it mostly more of a confirmation of the poo poo I hear telling about WW2 up to as early as the Scandinavian Neo-Nazi. If its one though I like to expand about the subject....how can neighbors that grew up together, played together, drank together....burn down their houses and then go to war against them. Its a damnation against the human race.

From what I read it's conservative Haredi newspaper HaMevaser who removed all women from the picture, not just Merkel.

His most appealing quality is the humble attitude - he presents himself as an awkward doofus instead of a badass superjournalist and lets his subjects into the focus.

What's the intended message of this cartoon? All I'm getting out of it is that America is a spiteful idiot. The water even looks perfectly fine. I guess it's a play on the old saying "You can bring a horse to water, but you can't make it drink." But even then it at best implies that America is stubborn.

It's a perfect combination of communicating an unintended message and the unintended message being completely accurate. You can give the American people something that's good for them, but you can't make them accept it.

You were one of the fairly good ones.  4Harsh burn on ambassadors.  5Nice sweater vest, nerd.  6Pee pee, doo doo, don't murder me.  7In a rare turn of events, Horsey removes tits from one of his cartoons.  8Now do one about Christians.  9Here we go again...

Using a Je suis Charlie shirt to censor nudity for an American newspaper would be a clever visual gag if it was intentional, but since it isn't it just comes across as pathetic.

I hate Branco too, I don't know why I thought that was a Bok. This is more Bok's speed:  lovely, lovely concern trolling on behalf of energy companies. On the subject of Branco, this is my favourite thing about the old man: his paintings.  1 Melty self portrait 2 Timeless and coherent political statement 3 Titty Gorillyand the best of the best  4 Two soldiers melting and crying in front of a tire fire, titled by the artist "My Heroe's are just Kids"

Broken Cog posted:What's the intended message of this cartoon? All I'm getting out of it is that America is a spiteful idiot. The water even looks perfectly fine. "Stick its face in the water and suck on its rear end in a top hat" In that context, Obamacare is good for the horse but you have to do a gross thing to make it happen. My point? None. I have no point. Unless funneling a shitload of tax money to insurance companies is like sucking on a horse's rear end in a top hat is a point. Wait, no. I have no idea what the gently caress I'm talking about. Maybe I have a future in the ever expanding field of political cartooning. Seriously, I could get me a couple Pulitzers.

Did a photo of Obama sitting around in sweatpants watching TV leak recently? I'm wondering if there's a reason to think he skipped the France demonstration just because he was having a (I <3) Me Day, rather than maybe deciding to focus on presidenting. I guess I already know the answer, but I'm wondering if I missed something.

dee eight posted:"Stick its face in the water and suck on its rear end in a top hat" The point of that cartoon is that everybody in America totally hates Obamacare (if you call it Obamacare and not PPACA or by the state exchange's name) and Obama won't repeal it because he sucks!

Branco is bad to the point where I don't think he deserves the title of cartoonist. Plenty of these guys draw badly but Branco scribbles like an untalented gradeschooler without even smoothing out his incompetence with some stylizing the way Rall and the others do. He just tries to draw people and fails at it. Tack that on to ideas that are consistently banal in addition to spiteful and objectively wrong along with his status as a paid industry shill and the dude is just so utterly devoid of merit that just calling him a political cartoonist demeans a the rest of them by association.

I understand that there're cartooning conventions (I think it was Ruben Bolling who mentioned Asay gets trashed at the parties they threw) and I have to imagine Branco is period not invited, only hesitantly allowed in when he shows up.

I don't think it's even a political cartoonist only thing, I seem to recall seeing it in the funnies in the paper too.

My guess is that Ramirez is their platonic ideal of what a political cartoonist is and he does it, so they do it. Much like how his caricatures tend to influence how other lovely cartoonists draw their characters. He's probably not the only one to do it, but he does it a lot and very blatantly. You can see this a lot if you spent as much of your worthless life looking at lovely cartoons as I do.
