I just noticed that Mari is doing one of those sexy female model poses (the kind you learn if you're doing bikini modeling or nude stuff) where you lean forward a little and move your arms together in front of yourself to make your boobs stick out more, except she's doing it in the direction of HER TWIN SISTER

It bothers me, quite a bit, how Beeler wastes his significant artistic abilities on so much ignorant Conservative swill and bland fogey "humor." Especially since he actually made good cartoons before the Washington Examiner apparently lobotomized him.

There is no way that Muir, being the unimaginative coward that he is, will ever actually kill Cool Snipe Dad and Red Head Asiam Waifu. It's going to be a fake headstone, they will have faked their own deaths in order throw off the HillaryCare Vince Foster KillBots.

I guess in Muir's head, a war for the Freedom of 'Murica is inevetable as long as the stoopid people who disagree with him keep voting a way they're not supposed to. That there are those who will never be on board with his weird little ideology, apparantly makes civil war (or something like it) inevetable - and seeing that "ebil nazi communist progressive people" just won't stop having their own opinions and start acting like right-thinking-people (for great freedom and all that), it'll be ALL THEIR FAULT when his side has to attack them, for realz.

... Is it me, or is Muir getting ever more aggressively loony-toon-ish with time?

But when someone actually tries to change the world for the better, Rall condemns them in the harshest terms since they didn't do enough/didn't do it while chanting Rall's name.

I can't tell if he's sarcastically imitating his idea of how SJW's talk or if he's actually pissed for some mystery reason.

Also, I'm surprised more people in here aren't appalled that Muir made the daughters of his self-insert, who are literally toddlers into some of his porn-traced pinup girls. That's pretty loathsome, even for Muir.

He decided that 1984 needed an update and wrote "2024," which managed to miss every single point the original work was trying to make. I slogged through that poo poo. That's why I personally don't like him.

Also he's an envious bastard who can't get over the fact that Maus was a really good book and nothing he's written is anything like as good. Rather than being proud of a member of his profession, he seems to think that Art Spiegelman is in on some publishing conspiracy that is deliberately preventing him from winning any awards. But it's okay because all of those awards are stupid and he totally doesn't even care about them, which is why every year like clockwork he writes a long screed about how he doesn't give a gently caress about the Pulitzer prizes and didn't even bother entering. But at the same time he keeps putting together autobiographical stories that just cannot put him in a good light, because the stuff he chooses is 'that time I started sleeping with a lot of beautiful women for shelter rather than finding a job' or 'that time I got called a fag in high school and spent years of my life planning elaborate and potentally-lethal revenge against Brian.'

Also his art is total poo poo but he defends it like a 13-year-old on Deviantart with the classic "BUT IT'S MY STYYYYYYYYLE" response. The difference being that Rall has been doing this for decades and his art has not improved. At all.

Also his position on every issue is stupid contrarianism in the name of being extreme and radical. Nothing is ever good.

If anything it's worse. In the 90s it was weird but way easier on the eyes than his nightmare of poor perspective and garish color palettes.

Having said that, I'd be skeptical of any award that gave Ramirez the prize. Twice.

I'm 2/3rds of the way through re-reading Maus. If this is true Rall is a shitstain. Maus has its flaws but it is a very powerful, personal, and complex story.

None of which would be true of anything I've seen from Rall. Amusing, weird, self-absorbed, and ultimately trivial, on the other hand...

Do a basic search with both of their names, and you will see just how deep Rall's jealous loathing of Spiegelman goes.

The funny thing is that Spiegelman doesn't have a huge ego and realizes he'll mostly be remembered for Maus and little else.

In fact, there's one morbid cartoon where he's enjoying success from Maus and it's him at his drawing board on top of a pile of corpses.
