On a couple of the more eventful days of the OJ trial my elementary school set up TVs in the cafeteria so no one would have to miss a minute. Literally no other news story was treated with that kind of gravity until fuckin 9/11. It was nuts.

They wheeled a tv into my fifth grade classroom for the verdict.

I suspect that the O.J. trial is the reason that no big trial since then has been broadcast live in its entirety.

Someone could do an effort post on OJ cartoons if they're feeling masochistic and/or sadistic.

agreed, this is very funny. i'm more forgiving of cartoonists reusing concepts if they at least put effort into making it good/funny, rather than just being lazy like Ramirez and just using different words over the same drawing of the Hindenburg.

That Bors is good and it gets the message across. This may shock some goons but cartoons go out to a general audience that neither exhaustively follows the complete output of every cartoonist, nor do they participate in a community that picks over the news to such an extent that these comparisons seem obvious and routine.

In other words, people with non-broken souls read comics too.

It was basically boring, meandering and pointless. I don't remember a single highlight and the ending just left me going "what the gently caress." So I've mentally substituted my own headcannon:
Draper - death by wolverines
Pete - death by plane crash
Mustache guy: accidentally swallows, chokes to death on mustache
Peggy: caught up in Scientology sting, 10 years in women's prison where she finally finds herself
Joan: revealed as the real Andy Warhol shooter.

Draper lives in Ossining. Death by giant snapping turtle, please.

quote:

I recently inhaled the Journals of John Cheever. Read these journals and you will meet this man. Not just the sardonic detached observer of the cocktail party set. Yes, the journals verify that he is that. And not just the gentle introspective genius who pours his heart out to the labradors as he empties his nth glass of gin sitting on the porch as a warm summer night drifts to an end. (is that too). But the man who, when a grand and ancient 3 and a half foot snapping turtle dares trample his flower bed, pumps 10 shotgun rounds unceremoniously into its head. Ten. (and remember, this is in Westchester).

Or shotgun. Both are still valid and common.

4,478 U.S. troops killed by Obama's invention, the war in Iraq.
(Also, if it was truly "free and stable" in the wake of Bush's invasion then surely leaving was the right move?)

I dunno, most of the time I manage to tolerate that sort of stuff, but there's something extra lazy in having two character sit in front of a screen and describe what happenings that just is bad enough to get me from chill to slightly annoyed.

At least do something funny once in a while. Like "so this lady goes under the space base with a flamethrower and a M1A1 pulse rifle taped together to save a little girl from a space monstruosity"-"Yeah, Aliens is a pretty good movie"-"Actually I was talking about Obamacare".

What?

Please describe, in your own words, what the message is, and the metaphor the cartoon uses to deliver it. I can kinda parse "but the REAL unemployment", but that's only because I'm familiar with Allie.

It's been so long since he's made a cartoon with a message that isn't "I dislike the government of Illinois because they are Democrats" that we've kind of lost sight of that
