Everyone seems to be drawing Obama as Robin Hood these days. Wasn't Robin fighting the government? Wasn't part of the reason over excessive taxes?

There is a UN observed disengagement zone between Israeli and Syrian armies, but otherwise it's the very opposite of demilitarized. colonel_korn posted:Here's one more -- or is it William Tell? 7oden is too dumb to know they were different people.

VitalSigns posted:I still can't get over what a huge idiot Stantis is. I think Allie has part in that. Because Allie is a massive shithead and his asshattery probably amplifies Stantis's. Stantis's actual politoons do feel more well thought out, im even a bit sympatgetic to the guy, seeing that he is the only right wing cartoonist with some kind of self awareness/reflection.

It's almost worse to me. Take Ramirez. The man is a straight-up shill, makes no apologies for it. When his team is in the White House, phone tapping is the only thing stopping another 9/11 and critics are traitors, when Obama's in now wire-tapping is tryanny and critics are patriots. When Hillary threatens Iran she's a crazy warmonger, when Obama negotiates with Iran he's a wimpy appeaser. None of this "oh I was wrong, I'll never let propaganda fool me ever again" *draws contradictory strips just days apart as the right-wing propaganda switches from Obama the Apologizer to Obama the Evil Warlord and back again"

He's actually broken rank with his party repeatedly (Iraq, torture, police brutality). Admittedly only in the face of pretty extreme evidence, but I'm still willing to afford him a lot more respect that I would for almost any other conservative cartoonist, even if he does put out retarded poo poo pretty often.

I thought the exact same thing Hell yeah! Also in regards to Stannis, he does good comics every now and then, like I mean he has a good message and all. I really like that one abuse one he did. Well, I don't like it, but it was a good cartoon.

Honestly, I assumed that they had put a modicum of thought into it; i.e., just enough to reinterpret a half-remembered story through the lens of ideology by assigning themselves and their buddies to the landed gentry role and going, Hey, wait, if someone is stealing from me to give to the poor, that's socialism, and Robin Hood was the villain all along. Just like... Obama!

It's the inverse of Tinsley complaining about "We ALL killed him," but from an equally irritating angle. RIP MLK Jr., stung to death by white and black wasps equally, impossible to assign blame or attribute causation, my self-insert saw the whole thing, really makes u think~

He's not even a good cartoonist, his messages are always mixed and totally indecipherable unless you know his position on said thing hes depicting already. His insistence on using substitute characters instead of just referencing the actual person or event makes it even worse.
