This joke is about two years out of date. I still can't understand why any editor would tolerate a two-week lag on the topicality of a political cartoon. Nobody else needs this much lead time. Is it that "80 hours of research" thing?

I've said it before - Tinsley makes me more mad than any other cartoonist. Mallard Filmore is the loving worst.

He gets a bug up his butt about one thing, be it a weird fish, Hilary's southern accent, dinosaurs, trigger warnings, and he churns out half a dozen cartoons about it. Why?

I'm positive at some point along the way Tinsley realized he could just finish all his drafts for a single comic and have a weeks worth of work already done. So every few days he sits and bangs out six or seven duck-void comics, or maybe two or three that take new art, and then pulls together the ten or so he likes best to send into the editor. Don't have ten to send or editor spits one back? Just sub in one of the ones cut from previous selections. Who is going to care?

I just figured Tisnley found the one person that is even more drunkenly useless than he is. "Oh I gotsh to deshide what comicsh to put in today already? Wow...gently caress what time ish it? Oh...hmm, Tishley. Yeah thish is a comic he shent me arright...OK print it."

Fulchrum posted:Is this implying there are strips Tinsley feels are below his standards? Nah, just that he might like some more than others. Or maybe he just grabs the first ten off the stack when the deadline hits, or maybe it's whatever his wife/editor/some third party can grab before he wakes up and starts throwing bottles at them.

If... 25-28 May    The Scottish National Party's results in the General Election can only be described as historic. They stood candidates in all 59 Scottish seats and won 56 of them, prompting Alex Salmond to declare "the Scottish lion has roared". Much of this advance was at the expense of Labour, who saw many previously safe seats gobbled up. (I actually really like the way Bell tied together Salmond's comments with the collapse of Scottish Labour, the previous week's baked bean theme and the long and noble tradition of farting in political cartoons.) Of course while 56 out of 59 seats is a big deal, 56 out of Parliament's 650 is less of one. In addition, the main goals of the SNP (additional devolved powers) would cost Cameron relatively little and allow him to appease a decent chunk of his opposition. The "lying Liberal pudding" in the third strip is Alistair Carmichael, now the only Liberal Democrat MP left in Scotland. Before the election he leaked a memo intended to be embarrassing to SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, and then lied about doing so. Leaking this kind of information is seen as business as usual in British politics, but lying about doing so is completely beyond the pale - especially given the leak sparked a costly police investigation. At the time of writing Carmichael is still hanging on to his job, but may be turfed out either by legal challenge or by his constituents. Are these explanations helpful by the way? If... is very "a thing happened + nonsense" and relies pretty heavily on you being familiar with current affairs.

First, no one enjoys dealing with an angry drunk so his editor probably just avoids the guy. Second, I suspect there's some kind of Office Space scenario where the payroll officer is gradually reducing his paycheck to nothing hoping that the guy just leaves without a confrontation.

Vienna Circlejerk posted:What the gently caress is this poo poo A helpful note: the Daily Telegraph is nicknamed the Torygraph in Britain, and is the country's most consistently conservative newspaper. Just consider it to be in the same vein of all the right-wingers over here who go WHY ISN'T OBAMA PUTTING BOOTS AGAINST ISIL, except possibly without the proclivity to just reverse immediately in the hypothetical where he actually does that.

Scaramouche posted:Trump is getting killed by this, already several Republican latino organizations have demanded either an apology from him or the GOP to issue some kind of reprimand. The best part is the blowback isn't hitting just him, the other candidates are getting smeared for not calling him out on it, and in addition the democratic candidates are able to make hay on how he represents the Republican party and how out of touch they are. Really a perfect storm of insanity and exactly what I expected when he entered the race. His polling in the primary has gone up significantly, although I would attribute this to increased name recognition and the tendency of primaries to attract more extreme voters

Also, a huge part of their base are racists who are happy to have a candidate finally straight up call Hispanics drug dealing rapists, as that is what they believe.

Obama takes a lemonade break before returning to work. Meanwhile, ISIL is pounded by airstrikes and pushed back by the YPG. A good, optimistic cartoon.

Chewbaccanator posted:Why red in Greece's flag instead of blue? Red for Siryza, presumably. I looked into historical flags but I'm pretty sure there haven't been any actual red versions of the current Greek flag. You have to go back to the Greek Revolution to get red in your flag, and before that, Byzantium.

That makes sense too! I've tried to avoid watching those decapitation videos so the symbolism went over my head. (I did get the Daesh reference though.)
