It was a poor example because if one insists upon touching the poop, this is the act to follow. It is the Ur-Poop Touch, and all other poop touching is but a pale reflection of its resplendent edifice.

I've said it before, but I think he is the most consistently stupid of all the cartoonists posted here (competition from Rob Smith Jr though). I won't claim he's the "worst," that's a wider discussion that we have way too often, but goddamn is Branco the dumbest, densest one.

Branco is constantly dancing on the line of stupid/lying.

Smith has been reading way too much manga because the word layout works much better read right to left.

I wonder what manga he would read. Probably that one where the magical fantasy land invades Japan, and the right-wing JSDF starts murdering dragons with howitzers and cut down barbarian hordes with machine guns. That or Love Hina.

Branco remains the only cartoonist that makes me actually angry. I think it's the vast dichotomy between how much he acts like he knows and how much he actually knows, combined with the raw hatred in his art and the emptiness of anything but bitterness in his messages.

e: I don't think I could describe Branco to a layman without the phrase "little man" coming up at least once, eg "spiteful little man" or "evil little man". I don't even know or care what his actual height is. It's a littleness of spirit.

Yeah like the other poster said I can't really get mad at Branco because he strikes me as so loving stupid. Like I just imagine him wildly and awkwardly flailing around yelling "OBAMAAA!" as he draws every cartoon.

He's basically a child.

This is fish in a barrel since this guy must've taken the same human anatomy class as Dr. Zoidberg, but it still loses steam halfway through.
Also, MO-RON!?

I hate that I have to defend this guy, but he was making a rhetorical point. The Idaho state legislature was debating a bill that would bar video conference consultation as being sufficient consultation before prescribing abortion inducing medication. This type of consultation is important, especially in rural states, because there may not be any doctors near you to consult, so video appointments allow prescribing medicine without physically traveling to a doctor that may not be easily reachable.

The doctor testifying against the bill (so in favor of video consultations) said that colonoscopy patients can swallow a camera to give doctors a look at their colon, intending to draw an analogy to other types of procedures that can be done remotely. Barbieri replied "Can this same procedure then be done in a pregnancy? Swallowing a camera and helping the doctor determine what the situation is?" The answer is obviously "no", which is the point Barbieri wanted to make. An video consultation is not comparable to a colonoscopy by pill, because you can't swallow a pill to conduct a gynecological exam.

To be clear, I'm not defending the law; it's dumb and bad. I'm just saying that in context, it's pretty clear that Barbieri wasn't being an idiot about anatomy.

Then why was his response to the doctor saying the mouth and vagina aren't connected "Fascinating. That makes sense" and he waited until after it got picked up by the news to give the reason you now state?

Nobody takes offense of drawing David Cameron as a condom so I don't get why everyone gets so mad with Obama depictions? It's a cartoon caricature, and Glenn likes drawing characters in that style. Take Glenn's newspaper strip Duplex, for example:



But then, he didn't always draw Obama like that:






But caricatures of course do evolve over time, especially when they rise to the top political spot of the nation. And to be sure, Barry's nose is not the only bulbous Obama body feature depicted by Glenn:


Even then, Glenn is still the better McCoy as far as artistic cartoonist talent goes.

Obama's caricatures make use of non-accurate racial exaggerations, like the oversized purple lips. It's okay to draw Cameron as a condom because drawing white people as condoms to insult or make fun of their race has never been a thing.

Thank you! If it was just a bad caricature like Ramirez, then its comparable. But its the racial elements that put it in a different league. It would be like drawing the Japanese PM yellow with huge buck teeth and just two horizontal lines where their eyes should be. Its not just a distortion, its a racially motivated distortion.

I think Branco is actually pretty brilliant in his ability to effectively monetize his mediocre talent and lazy, bad opinions. I could be wrong but I doubt he puts any more anger into his cartoons than he puts effort into them. I think most of his effort goes into figuring out what the groups who sign his checks want and then he probably doesn't think about politics at all, aside from watching enough news to gather material for his next cartoon.
