This is a couple pages back now but man, I'm really loving sick of American cartoonists using the CH shooting to bitch about how nobody's hiring them. Here's a thought: maybe a big reason why no one is paying you idiots to draw cartoons in papers is because you all loving SUCK. Most of these idiots don't contribute meaningfully to political discourse because they have so little to say and they're so lovely at saying it without just writing :words:, in which case, why not just run a goddamn editorial piece?

Obama went forward in time so that he could release people that had-- in our current timeline-- been kidnapped, tortured, and held for over ten years without any legal justication.

He took those people back in time so that they could cause the massacre of journalists. He did this. It's real. People who have been tortured for a decade have no reason to feel wronged, they just hate our Freedoms™

Obama can time travel; he is both unstoppable powerful in destroying Are Freedoms yet is also completely impotent against Invincible Putin.

I have a friend who publishes a cartoon newspaper in Oregon. It's nothing like Charlie Hebdo, tho (rarely political, and content is PG at most), although it's pretty fun.

He's struggling to keep it going, though. He can only afford to publish three issues a year. That said, he managed to keep it going for several years, and I know people read it whenever a new issue comes out, so he must be doing something right.

There's also a monthly newspaper called "The Funny Times". It's a collection of political cartoons and columns. Guys like Matt Bors, Ted Rall, Clay Bennett, Nina Paley, and Keith Knight are regulars there. I used to subscribe to it, although I let it lapse. I still have a few copies of it.

While they are being a bit bitter, the investment costs in trying to start a print paper like CH would be difficult for many of these cartoonists. I think some have tried to do similar things on the web, but again they aren't exactly profitable ventures or stable income.

Like I said above with my friend, I can vouch that.

Matt Bors does "The Nib" online, although it's not as provocative like Hebdo.

The same could be said for CH, which was on the edge of bankruptcy when the shootings happened.

As a corollary to that, can we also add the cartoonists portraying themselves at risk of attack? No one gives a poo poo, guys.

Yeah, what I said was pretty mean and patronizing. Sorry. Sometime I forget that cartoonists who's last names aren't "Gorrell" work really hard and are often under appreciated.

Anyway, all this talk of Romney running again inspired me to reread "On the Campaign trail": http://onthecampaigntrail.org/ I suggest you all do the same.

He did, the second part was that violence should never be used as an excuse for religion. It's funnier to lampoon him saying you should punch someone and not a comment that it is human nature to have a violent thought when something gravely insults something very important to you.

The contraception pushing he was doing is dumber but harder to lampoon.

How are you getting that from this image? Did you miss the part where the broken window is a mosque?

The implication is that both the gunmen who shot up Charlie Hebdo and the people who attacked mosques and other Islamic places afterwards in revenge are extremists, who see the world in black and white rather than shades of grey. That's all.
