Jarlsberg is so predictably crass that I knew after reading the first panel that the punchline would involve pubic hair.

Let's take a minute to catch up on the next best cartoonist after JRRose!     Some of these might be repeats, I just went back to the one I knew i recognized - the big square elephant in the room.

Ahahaha okay are we sure this isn't from the Onion? I wonder if political cartoonists in 1862 were drawing a plantation gate locking behind a black family on the street going "but...but who will take care of us now", while Lincoln and the Plantation Owner split a bag of money marked "savings on room and board". "Heh heh heh" :cryingcolumbia: Edit:quoted the wrong cartoon VitalSigns fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Jan 30, 2015 |

Muir decided the best way to further endear his characters to his audience was to make the coincidence that Sam Elliott and StrawWomanLiburul both want to hang around. Have his characters assume SWL is trying to gold dig Sam Elliott. Then making his protagonist bums panic and scramble to grub all the money they can before trying to break up a relationship that isn't even actually happening. SWL isn't even going for Sam Elliott in the end but instead the Sheriff, who I bet the cast will try to warn off of SWL because they're the textbook definition of "meddling assholes". Skye is the underdog hero of this comic strip. Typing SWL a bunch has reminded me: whatever happened to Kirschen's LSW?

Gilganixon posted:Thanks for that. Numbers 4 and 10 are great. I was hoping that there'd be more Spanish Civil war stuff but the women fighters show up more in photographs than in the posters. If I find anything good I'll post it up. No images, but I was watching a documentary on the Chinese Civil War, and they had some interviews with Chinese Communist female peasant volunteers. There was one little old lady who joined the CCP to escape an arranged marriage she was forced by her landlord to enter at the age of 7. She later talked about how she was captured and forced to serve a concubine for at KMT soldier. Another talked about how she was going to be forced to marry a man three times her age, so she joined the CCP instead and took part in the murder of her landlord. After her capture, she was brutally tortured with hot wires and threats of gang rape, but as she told her story, she was still visibly proud that she never betrayed her comrades.

Though I don't know how successful the F-18's attack will be when it's only loaded with ATA missiles and what appears to be fuel tanks.

I always love when conservatives complain about the world seeing us like wimps and we need to be bigger assholes or they'll lose respect. As if there has ever been a point when we weren't going out of our way to gently caress over some other people or country and that everyone else longs for our ramrod of love.

Isn't the entirety of the evidence for Iran's nuclear weapon program more or less "We have evidence they looked into it and decided against it in the 90s, but if we were them we would do it, so we're going to assume they have one anyways"?

Their nuclear power program started under the Shah in the late 60s/early 70s and they have operational plants. It's kind of a big jump from "They kept a power generation plan the old government set up going instead of letting it go to waste" to "They must be building nukes!".

Iran has aspirations to regional hegemony and is fighting a proxy war with the KSA. Israel is a significant concern to the Islamic Republic, but it's going to want nuclear security regardless of whether or not Israel has nukes or not. There are other factors as well that make me question exactly how serious Iran is in obtaining nuclear weapons as an end in and of itself in the first place, but that's far from a settled debate in any event. tl;dr nuclear proliferation and security isn't quite that simple.

It's kind of a big jump from "They kept a power generation plan the old government set up going instead of letting it go to waste" to "They must be building nukes!". If I recall right they have also had a history of not allowing inspectors into certain sites, though I don't know how compliant they've been lately.

There are other factors as well that make me question exactly how serious Iran is in obtaining nuclear weapons as an end in and of itself in the first place, but that's far from a settled debate in any event. Also depends on how they view it. Going off of the security dilemma, if they become the only actors with nukes that would only cause others to step up and perhaps cause Israel to reconsider it's stance should they disarm. I'm just not sure they'd think it'd be worth it. But I dunno, I'm not a doctor I just play one on TV. BBJoey posted:Well, for some crazy reason they don't want to let US officials in to closely monitor their nuclear plants. What reason could thet have for distrusting America??? US? Are you sure you don't mean UN/IAEA or has letting US officials in been a sticking point?
