Exclamation Marx posted:If the SS managed to find out about the magic water pyramid scheme cartoonist I think they can handle Chris Muir without our help I'm not saying reporting Muir is a good idea for anyone here to do. Unlike Electronic Tiger I'd imagine a call from Federal Agents would only put fuel on the fire rather than calm him down. I'm just saying that it really doesn't matter if we do or don't think Muir personally will take a shot at the President. The Secret Service looks into people expressing particularly murderous views toward the sitting President. Muir's recent comic does rise to that level (especially given his.. more than hostile view of the Federal government and the people who work for it) but that doesn't mean we should try to report him. While the fallout may be amusing to us, it's probably best he stays irrelevant and ignored.

I'm curious which part of the government Muir thinks WILL BE fired. The current presidential administration that has won reelection and by all the laws of the United States is free to serve out the rest of their allotted term? Or does it count as "being fired" when they are replaced with the next Democratic administration because the GOP has polarized itself so badly that it can't possibly field a good candidate in the general without ruining them first?

He must be so disappointed that nothing's really happened on that front. I think he believes that the current federal officials will be literally fired - from a cannon.

New MacKay: Alberta's economy is tanking because they're completely reliant on oil (one estimate has government revenue falling 17%, and their Premier is going to try and produce balanced budgets anyway by mercilessly cutting the public service) and suddenly, surprise surprise, the federal government is talking about how Canada's economy is more than just the energy industry and how Ontario manufacturing is also important. MacKay also reposted a colourized version of a cartoon he made 17 years ago, when the Canadian dollar nosedived against the US one. He had a way more crosshatchy style back then. I like his new stuff way better. Original:  Remake:

I'd like to imagine that it's some guy's job at the FBI to follow seditious and conspiratorial cartoons from lunatics on Facebook. Every so often, when he gets tired of Muir's crap, he just quietly reports nudity to Facebook and gets Muir temp-banned.

Pththya-lyi posted:Probably a better way to gently caress with Muir would be by contacting the people/organizations that own the images he vectorizes and letting them know he's violating their copyright. At least a few of his victims are bound to raise a stink about it, and it's more likely to ruin his credibility as an artist amongst his readers. He's not, they won't and it won't. Erenthal posted:Thread relic/tradition. He's one of the longest running personas featured here, through all the iterations of the thread. Doubt that. I don't recall him ever showing up in LF. It's mainly posted because if you complain about it, it gets posted even harder out of spite. And there are fewer active political cartoonist every week. Edit: vv yeah, that.

Muir is posted because we come here to read things that make us angry and Muir consistently makes us angry. He is frequently egregiously wrong in obvious ways and a legendarily bad person, which makes him an easy target. He is natural fodder for this thread.

Muir is the thread's window into the mind of the conservative poor. Most right wing political cartoonists punch down, but he punches himself.

It is amazing to me that Day by Day started as a published strip about a group of friends who worked at a tech company together and is now about that same group of friends living on a ranch in Texas fantasizing about killing the President. None of them have jobs, all of them live off of the charity of their parents even though they all have children themselves, and they can't seem to accomplish anything other than being angry at a black man for holding a job that seems to have absolutely zero affect on their day to day lives.

Again, 90% certain it's just a joke! but really curious if it's an actual issue... They are building two museums, but the "separate but equal" thing was my (poor) attempt at humor, hence the  .
