I always love seeing these for the art and getting the perspective of people we're told to loathe. But the fact that he's holding the nightstick flute with (mostly) correct hand technique just makes me irrationally happy.

     This Bors cartoon is basically the same one he made when Steve Jobs died, but (a) the criticism is still relevant and (b) I like his Shatner

TheOneOutside posted:Why is that duck dynasty guy taking hostages? Because she was going to join the armed forces. She's clearly not actually on deployment, since women are given birth control injections while on deployment. So she was clearly kidnapped and raped in order to impregnate her and is now being held at gunpoint in order to prevent her from getting an abortion.

Don't Jewish people believe in heaven, anyways? I realize the old testament doesn't talk about it as much as the new testament does, but the Jewish God and the Christian God are supposed to be the same. Unless you believe God segregates Heaven by denomination:

Bors does great Obit cartoons. His one on Hitchens perfectly captures the man.

No, that's what I was talking about. "Everyone is drawing this non-Christian being judged by St Peter which is kind of inconsiderate to the deceased" is what I see as the main point in both cartoons; the ironic-punishment thing was just the punchline for the Jobs one in my eyes but whatev  seiferguy posted:Don't Jewish people believe in heaven, anyways? I realize the old testament doesn't talk about it as much as the new testament does, but the Jewish God and the Christian God are supposed to be the same. Unless you believe God segregates Heaven by denomination: Heaven as we know it is pretty much 100% a Christian ideal; Judaism deals with the afterlife very little at all. The closest thing to an explanation I've heard from an actual authority is "you have a certain amount of land in the afterlife based on how many mitzvahs you did." We CERTAINLY don't have a hell.

Bors more than any other cartoonist is spot-on when it comes to meta stuff about how the industry functions. His obit and Halloween cartoons are some of his best.

Between the shirtless Putin and Speedo Abbott cartoons, I'm left wondering how the cartoonist community would have portrayed Anthony Weiner had he made it to higher office. I'm sure at least a few would have him naked with an iphone strapped over his junk, but I think the UK cartoonists in particular would have a field day with him.

 did Obama do anything in particular to make McCoy think he doesn't know middle eastern history, or is it just more "Obama is dumb and also Bibi is coming to the US"?

I mean obviously McCoy should be the one reading the book. I'm just wondering if there was a particular  gaffe recently, since this seems like it could be a pretty specific jab.

I just see it as "drat, there are a lot of ethnic and religious groups that Americans know nothing about but whose existence actually makes a huge difference on the ground and so we should probably try to learn about them if we ever hope to not gently caress up when dealing with the world." Am I missing some hidden and horrible meaning?
