Xander77 posted:What? I think it's pretty clearly "the unemployment rate looks good, but actual unemployment is still bad." Also "thing you see looks good, but bad thing is actually hidden in the shadows." I can't eliminate the fact that I have familiarity with Allie and that may color my reading, but it looks well composed and I think the message would be clear even if you knew nothing about Allie.

Somfin posted:Also the aggravating 'from the mouths of babes' thing where the child knows an obscene amount about the subject and about the metasubject and all of the arguments regarding the subject, and the supposed 'expert' knows nothing, which I thought was kind of unique to the Republican political argument. People who are socially progressive are sometimes very fond of using flawed "from the mouth of babes" arguments along the lines of "I told my 2 year old cousin I was trans and he understood, why are all republicans who don't get why you'd be trans dumber than a two year old???" or "I told a five year old I was gay and he didn't call me a human being, clearly children are the most wise of us". Subterfrugal posted:Wasn't Rush supposed to be like a seven year old in 1995? He would have graduated college just in time for the economy to melt down. That's why he's not in the comic anymore, he joined OWS and Mallard stopped talking to him  Pope draws adorable children  colonel_korn posted:Allie has finally realized to stop putting the actual numbers in his cartoons about how Democrats keep making unemployment worse.

Xander77 posted:What? The message is that while unemployment is down, the number of people without jobs is much bigger than simply unemployment since those who give up looking for work are not counted in unemployment numbers. We only look at one kind of these people (unemployment) but the shadow cast from those without jobs are still real even if we don't talk about it. That message ignores that people can leave the labor force for many reasons, and that counting all those without a job as the same as the unemployed is troublesome, but the cartoon still gets the intended message across very well without a lot of words and with pleasant to look at art. It's an almost Bennett level of simplicity.

Wait, why is she blindfolded If she's supposed to be a seer or something why is she also a Spartan? Was there some part I forgot in 300 where Leonidus wore a blindfold?

Mister Beeg, if you ever do a sequel to that one comic you made about political cartoon characters, please make it about a little, tiny corner-guy and all his little, tiny corner-guy friends (Punk the Penguin, Kelly, Tom Toles and his desk... maybe Sergio Aragonés' marginals from MAD... ). Or you could even make that a story occurring in the bottom corner of another story, eventually having them both spill over into one another!

She's supposed to be Dilios, the narrator of the film who got shot in the eye which Leonidas used as an excuse to send him back to Sparta with a message. His narration is actually him telling the story of the battle to the rest of the Spartan army who are presumably on the march to go repel the Persian invasion. That's really why the story includes such fantastical elements like saw-hand monsters, Xerxes as a literal giant, and the magical disappearance of the rest of the Greek army including over a thousand Thesbians and Thebians who made the last stand along with the famed 300 Spartans. there wolf fucked around with this message at 02:24 on May 20, 2015 |

I don't think I ever saw a Kirschen cartoon that was this overt in its attitudes towards the Palestinians. And to think it's been around since 2009. I almost don't know what to say about that. Oh wait, yes I do. Go gently caress yourself in your venn diagram eyes, Kirschen.

Taciturn Tactician posted:"I told my 2 year old cousin I was trans and he understood, why are all republicans who don't get why you'd be trans dumber than a two year old???" Because the 2 year old believes that any change in your gender expression actually changes your sex; e.g. getting your long hair cut short turns you from a girl into a boy. That's why most little kids are extremely invested in conforming to the gender binary pretty much as soon as they start to understand the concept.
