Radio Shack did a last-ditch sudden shift from "we sell cell phones" back towards hobby electronics; started carrying Arduinos and kits and all the little IC's in the drawers like they used to in hopes that they could corner the small but steady hobbyist market they long ago abandoned. It didn't work, obviously.

Yeah, when Payne isn't drawing bumper stickers he can draw good. He has this classy "New Yorker" type of style.

Acropolis posted:From forever ago, but I don't think anyone pointed out these little guys.  That's because they're bells on the jester's hat. Someone was asking earlier who I was talking about when a mention was made of "a male Thatcher but without the charm" and I said "Mark". I was referring to Thatcher's son Mark, best known for his various misadventures in Africa.

Exclamation Marx posted:Payne's art is still good as hell I find his art is so obviously derivative of the New Yorker style that it's actually really lame. That plus the fact that he has such a limited palette of compositions that he keeps going back to. I think he's a better mimic than an artist - all that early stuff was aping Oliphant and MAD, he's just grown into aping a different style now.

I think good artists producing bad art is an almost inevitable consequence of the daily comic format. It's hard to make inspiration strike every day like clockwork, so you see a lot of stale imagery and trite messages (I'm sure he's not the only cartoonist with a well-worn book of children's stories lying around). Even then though, you still have to draw the drat thing. People who don't spend a lot of time on creative endeavors (or at least never tried to get paid for them) often get offended when artist-types stop being as imaginative in their work, but jobs are jobs. No matter how excited you are when you first get hired, no matter how fulfilling your work generally is, there will be days where you just don't feel like doing it. You can push through that feeling, do your damnedest even though it makes you miserable, oooor you can half-rear end things a little. Get a few stock formats that you stick to so as to cut down on that messy "composition" phase, keep some stock characters/settings around so you don't have to try drawing something completely new every time. Simplify character designs, cut down on background details, tell the same sort of joke over and over. You can scoff and call this hackery, but everyone in the newspaper does it to some extent (including the journalists). It's always sad when talented young artists become formulaic yucksters, but anyone who can stay in that industry and still regularly produce good art, even if it's not as good as it would be if they had a week or month to work on it, deserves respect, not scorn.

Blue is the colour of the Conservative Party up here and red is the colour of the Liberal Party, and Harper is super-duper partisan so he wouldn't be caught dead wearing something red even though that's the national colour. Even government websites have blue backgrounds now.

Exclamation Marx posted:Payne's art is still good as hell In addition to the giant-car-covered-in-bumper-stickers trope everyone else has brought up, he has a tendency to overrely on drawing snooty liberals with their ridiculous proboscis noses in the air and he is not very good at not making said noses look like dicks The old cartoons were really good, though. It's almost a Rall-level regression in skill which is sad

Cartoons!       Also Bors' art-blog thing featured this long-form comic (not by Bors) about how vaccines work which I don't think has been posted here. Too long to be posted directly, but I thought you guys might appreciate it.

In other news, be prepared for "Pope beating up children/liberals don't know how to raise children" cartoons after the Pope commended a man for not hitting his children in the face.

That woman looks like the type that would cause a scene in a Starbucks because she didn't get just the right amount of soy in her latte. I'm confused which side this comic is trying to disparage. One has a Mickey Mouse with crazy twitch eyes and some clearly unhappy kids. And on the other the dad is wearing a fanny pack.
