I look good too!

The epitome of what's wrong with political cartoons. Why the gently caress does this need an "anti-vaccine" label. Am I being too generous to mankind thinking that there would be so very few people who wouldn't get the point without it?

I love a good comma in a fake headline. Reminds me of the Onion classic about Bill Clinton: "New President Feels Nation's Pain, Breasts".

Well, we've seen the first cartoonist actually take the anti-vaxxers' side. Took a surprisingly long time, actually, as their stance on most issues usually correlates 100% with Obama's stance. I wouldn't have thought it would be Gorrell, though -- smart money was on Wise or Branco.

Wise strikes me as more likely to advocate just hitting your kid if they show autism.

He has that "ain't no gubmint gonna tell me how to raise MY kids :bahgawd:" attitude, though, and that's half of anti-vaxx by itself.

Actually come to think of it I'd be willing to put down actual money that Muir will make an anti-vaxx strip at some point in the next couple of weeks. Anti-vaxxerism checks off all his boxes:

-"parents' rights" to inflict whatever politically-motivated neglect on their children they want without government interference (see: Waifu continually talking about homeschooling her kids but never actually starting it)
-general distrust of academia and thereby of doctors
-disagreeing with a thing Obama said because literally everything he says is moustache-twirling evil
-conspiracy-theory-style denial of science and reality

It'd also be really easy for him to just decide that the next government agent that the main cast sovereign-citizens into shameful humiliating submission just off-panel was coming around to vaccinate the kids by force instead of whatever nebulous reasons they had in previous installments of that exact same plot.

They know it ain't that.

Seriously, Priggs, it's a lot easier to prove that two things are uncorrelated and thus completely unrelated than it is to prove that they're causative. A lot easier. This cartoon is stupid and you're stupid.

This artist is relatively new to these threads, but Christ, What An rear end in a top hat. Every cartoon by this person seems to be either "Obama doesn't care about terrorism" or "Obama sides with the drat DIRTY MUSLIMS," etc. It's like Cox and Forkum never retired.

CAM isn't new but he's been markedly more of a piece of poo poo since Charlie Hebdo. I can't remember a single cartoon of his from before but I don't recall anything as bad as the kick he's been on all month.
