Along with being willfully dense for Prickly City, Eric Allie has drawn all of 10 political cartoons this calendar year. January 7: B-b-b-b-b-b-but Al Sharpton! January 19: The NFC Championship Game happened. January 19: PAT QUINN SUX! January 20: The liberals (uh, sic) who work for The New Republic are big effete dorks, unlike me, Eric Allie, manly man of manliness. January 28: Michael Moore is fat. February 11: NBC is a buncha clowns. Look at the clowns! February 18: Bruce Rauner is dreamy. February 28: Illinois, other than Bruce Rauner, is a buncha clowns. Look at the clowns! March 6: PAT QUINN SUX! March 6: Clinton e-mails, blah blah Obama. And that's it. That's Eric Allie's take on politics, circa 2015. I don't know where he's getting the wingnut welfare from to be a lazy, intellectually bankrupt rear end, but it seems like a pretty sweet deal.

Darkman Fanpage posted:Emails? When did emails enter into this stupid convoluted plot? I've asked a few times for a synopsis of what's going on and why the feds are poking around Ned's Dad's compound, and have no answer. I genuinely think that nobody outside of Muir himself has any idea what's going on from one day to the next.

It's just generic "federal government and obama evil" with a drizzle of whatever talking point is going on that day, and also tits. And vaginas, now, because Muir has degenerated just a bit further.

The Feds "pulled a Hillary" and used a secret private email account to plan their assault on the compound. Fortunately, Zed's Oath Keeper friend Gallagher is a l33t h4xx0r and managed to save copies of the emails on a thumb drive, which he then gave to Zed. Also the government is going after Zed because he keeps guns and believes in the Constitution, which of course are federal crimes nowadays.

I genuinely think that nobody outside of Muir himself has any idea what's going on from one day to the next. What's happening right now is that the government is chasing Muiry-sue because they have been "flummoxed" multiple times by him. In world justification that the Feds are using is that Zed "loves the constitution" and has thus been labeled as a terrorist. It's been stated that the fed are digging up tons of "bullshit" charges such as theft of property and child endangerment to get Zud on. The feds showed up on the scene and then Muir gives himself a Chekov's gun in that the Oath Keepers(?) are looking out for Zad's worthless rear end and hand him a flash drive with stolen emails from the ATF that somehow allow him to blackmail the Feds. Also the ATF want Zod's guns(?) because he's a bad rear end sniper(?). The "pool party" was supposed to be a distraction so Zyd and Wade could get the drop on the Feds and send them packking. The Sheriff(?) for some reason doesn't feel he's part of the executive branch and is there to see the Feds off before this becomes a Waco like fun party.Nevermind that it's also shown earlier that Waifu found a secret underground gun arsenal earlier that has enough firepower and ammo to make a Bundy Ranch like stand thus giving the ATF actual legitimate cause to want to investigate the Z-dad compound. Also I'd like to remind everybody that it's implied that the Z-fighters have been at the ranch for at least 7-9 months (Sniperella's gestation?), BJR and Sniperella have probably murdered and buried dozens of illegal immigrants in a mass grave.

IIRC, BJR and Sniperella are supposed to be capturing the immigrants and dropping them off on the other side of the border, not killing them. But it's never even been implied that they've caught a single person, let alone dozens of people. Now, it might be interesting to follow the happy couple on one of their hunts, but Muir prefers to stick with the strip's standard recipe: 50% Sick Burns, 40% deformed T&A, 9% Marty Stu Badassery and trace amounts of Anything Good.

I'm pretty sure you're right. I think I made the logical leap that they hired a chopper pilot to fly a chopper implies that they hired a sniper to do some sniping.

There was a time when Muir was regularly linked to by "reputable" segments of Internet wingnuttia- the NRO, Hot Air, Ed Morrissey (who hosted the strip for a while, I think). If I were in Muir's shoes, I would've worked hard to keep up that gig. But I guess the call of just tracing smut was too tempting. e: That and/or he's gone nuts. D.N.

It is sad that he's passed, but given how much he was struggling with alzheimers and lobbying for assisted suicide the past few years, I'm glad his suffering is over. I'm surprised it wasn't suicide though.

I didn't think so at first, but you've got an orange jumpsuit, which is what we make prisoners wear. And some of the torture involved "stress positions", so that's why she's saying "yoga position". Did Hillary ever defend torture?
