I figured "Are you Chinese?" was in reference to the Chinese hackings recently, and Bok is dumb enough to think that slapping some new words into a speech bubble is "hacking" his cartoons.

Maybe Bok thinks that "hacking" means "to make a cartoon" because he's never bothered to look up what it means when people keep calling him a "hack."

Huh, even in Australia, they demonize their opponents by portraying them as popular characters. It is wonderfully creepy, and I do like the big pile of Angry Birdshit keeping that balloon aloft, though. Did this cartoonist mean to Escher that changing room, or did he go full Muir and lose his mind after drawing some tits?

So it's a "thing happened" as a starting point for a criticism of the government's intergenerational report ignoring and misderiecting about climate change and acceptance of this oversight in the report. Also, all the black balloons represent coal emissions, I guess. And the budget is poo poo. https://www.google.com.au/search?q=...ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ

Is it me, or did Tumblr just send you the digital equivalent of a ransom note made from cut up newspapers? (The fact that it came from a woman called Ransom only makes it funnier.)

I'd been meaning to post this for a while, but recent events have given me an excuse to tell the story of when the poop touched me. I found some of my cartoons for my high school paper in Akron, and was reminded of my two visits to Kent State for the Northeast Ohio School Publication Awards. I attended a seminar by none other than Chip Bok on how to do political cartoons. It basically boiled down to making sure you draw the object of your hatred as ugly as possible. He drew page after page of Al Gore & Hillary Clinton looking like they crawled out from under a bridge. "One of my cartoons was actually nominated for an award; a drawing of broken bleachers and a run-down football field in a desert with the caption, "if the new levy doesn't pass, school sports could be deserted." (Even then I knew sports would be the last thing to be cut, but hey, editorial mandates). Bok was one of the judges for the illustration category, and I ended up not winning. A few weeks later, I got my cartoon back with Bok's comment, "doesn't make any sense. There are no deserts in Ohio." I remember my teacher saying, "Is he an idiot? This guy somehow gets paid?" The next year, I attended again since two more of my cartoons were up (and lost). Bok ended up ditching his seminar at the last minute with a phone call saying that he had had a heart-attack, but my friends and I spotted him in the cafeteria trying to talk to college girls.

Dan Lacey's life-changing psychotic episode happened in the LF version of this thread, and it was amazing to watch. I doubt Bok's will go nearly that far, but we can hope.

Fried Chicken posted:Pretty sure "are you Chinese" is a reference to the way Chinese companies play real fast and loose with patents and copyrights, but given its Bok he could also be using it the way a first grader would as "are you retarded". gently caress that and gently caress him. If that was his intent, he could have said "Are you a Chinese company?" "Do you own a Chinese company?" or even gone with something else, like a joke about The Dollar Store or something.

Saint Sputnik posted:Bonus points if you wear a bowtie with a tiny spy camera hidden in it to get his reaction. Considering the nature and purpose of your blog, it is definitely in its best interest for you to use whatever free options are available to contest the notice. Otherwise, you risk establishing a precedent that other targets of your mocking will exploit in the (probably very near) future; according to the message you got from Tumblr, all it takes is two more of them filing similar notices for you to receive "three strikes" and have your account disabled entirely.
