Yea, I found them kinda awesome, even if I know it's pretty much macho bullshit propaganda. If Ramirez or any of the other hacks had this kind of talent, their cartoons would still be insane but at the same time they could at least be something you could enjoy at one level.

Former Republican state Sen. Tim Johnson recently announced he was going to run for Lt. Gov. - as a democrat. Why? Because we haven't expanded Medicaid for all Mississippians yet. And yes, he is an Elvis impersonator.

The state legislature has just finished its "design bills" period and has gone on to "let everything die in committee" period.

Everyone makes fun of the Loss storyline from Ctrl+Alt+Del (and rightly so), but consider this: Muir also had his heroine miscarry his hero's baby, and handled that plot point with less sensitivity and care than Buckley did. Ethan and Lilah agonized over the miscarriage for months before moving on, but Sam and Zed? Sam went out drinking with Jan one night and completely recovered emotionally. The strip was back to its old wacky hijinks in less than a month.

if anything he's underselling it. It was done as a whole "woman weak, man strong" thing because she lost it from stress worrying about Zed as he recovered from getting his scar, and her "emotional recovery" was accepting that Zed was great.

If I remember correctly, he actually went from showing how waifu was traumatised from the miscarriage to a "lol hospital gowns show your butt" joke within the very same drat strip, or at least the very next one.

Actually, I think Alabama and Florida did a few years ago, and then had all their farmers watch crops rot in the field as American's aren't interested in working starvation wages to pick fruit.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.




Unlike most DEBT cartoons, this one points out the cost of military expenditures. I think those are supposed to be the actually costs of the weapons, showing that the price of loving up another nation's infrastructure is neglecting your own.

I like it.

Okay, who sent out the ISIL=Hitler talking point to the usual hacks, and are you dumb motherfuckers seriously just figuring that poo poo out now? Because Kobani's been a miniature Stalingrad vs the advance of the Nazis ISIL since loving October. (And just like Stalingrad, the city's kinda hosed, but ISIL got their asses handed to them.):getin:
If this was pointing out the astronomical costs of the F-35 I'd agree with it, but US airstrikes have actually done a shitton of good against ISIL.

Since everyone's seen the Tel Shair hill gif, and I realize that seeing people (even ISIL people) being taken out via US bombs is uncomfortable for some of the threadviewers, I won't link it again.

Yeah, most DEBT cartoons are about clumsy metaphors, where you get some random object or animal with a DEBT label and you're expected to think said random object or animal is bad. Here it's not a metaphor, it's more like "here's a thing that's happening, and one consequence of it we don't talk about often".

I'm pretty sure it started with the anniversary of Auschwitz, which featured a bunch of speeches by the Never Again folks, so Hitler was fresh in the zeitgeist. Then the news channels feature non-stop footage of ISIL burning people alive because it was a slow news week. Thus, two things happened with the added bonus of criticizing Obama because he's not fighting The New Hitlers hard enough. And that's how everyone became Ted Rall.

That's a British cartoon about British airplanes being expensive while simultaneously the NHS is saying that they literally have to reject the new budget the government is proposing because they cannot pay their doctors and keep their hospitals open with the funding cuts that are being proposed, and schools saying that with the funding cuts they're being given they are having to fire teachers and increase class sizes because they have already saved 100% of the money they can save that isn't in wages. It is a good cartoon about Britain being torn apart by their lovely austerity-obsessed government while the PM tries to use his war against ISIS as a way to get reelected so that he can continue eviscerating the British state.
