Skipped a few pages to catch up, but seeing that bar suddenly filled up to the 6 is the worst thing in that cartoon. Especially since it had stalled at the zero for so long.

Oh god, Ramirez is trying to get us to vote for Hillary by showing us his terrible Sanders caricature.

The real Democratic primaries will be held between Tinsley's cat mutant Hillary and Ramirez's melted scrotal teratoma Bernie Sanders.

I almost, almost, thought that after yesterday it was going to lead to them questioning Zed about why the hell are they mooching so hard but I guess it was just annoyance at being called out on their poo poo. I really wanted to see the mental gymnastics answering that question would have took.

Skye wasn't even "hounding" her in that breakdown strip.

Can we get a trigger warning on these Mallard Fillmore strips?

Bruce Tinsley is an alcoholic moron but identifies as a respected political cartoonist.

there wolf: Jan 11, 2015; by Fluffdaddy

Shouldn't that be trigger-warning-warning-warning? Actually a comic where warnings just multiply like tribbles until there's nothing but warnings might be slightly amusing and that puts it far beyond Tinsley.

dijon du jour: Mar 27, 2013; _{I'm shy}

Tinsley sticking to his comedy motto of "strike after the iron has completely given way to the ravages of time and rust".

Seriously, people have been making "Trigger warning: trigger warnings" jokes since trigger warnings were invented. This is not a routine worthy of multiple strips.

She tried to make Waifu look dumb and wouldn't just accept that Hillary is a bitch - I don't know what worse things she could have done.

Certain subgroups on Tumblr have gone way overboard with them, and in response other subgroups have flipped the gently caress out about it. Mostly, though, it's an opportunity to act like a shitheel and pretend rape victims are being oversensitive.

Are you going to trigger warning that rape comment? If not, aren't you just pretending rape victims are being oversensitive?

All this discussion on Tinsley's latest strips compels me to point out - as I obsessively have with previous strips - that he does upwards of eighty hours research a week. Your welcome.

Did you ever wander why they're so obsessed with :derp:

and the like? It's because if you gave them the power to they'd do exactly that to all the liberals. They just naturally assume that all their opponents would do the same thing.

Kinda like how back in WWII the Japanese were convinced losing would mean the beauty of the ~~White~~ Japanese woman would perish from this Earth (because they had waged massive campaigns of rape and destruction themselves everywhere else).

Sure, but Zed Dad bootstrapped that farm up from a pocket full of dirt and a half eaten sunflower seed. Since he passed the property onto Zed, any credit for work done is also passed onto him. Isn't that how it works?
