Two cartoons by Rebecca Hendin, who I don't think we've seen posted before. Phone-posting, so I can't hunt more of her work down.

Ah, the same ol' "REAL Racists!!!" poo poo with a side dish of the tired conspiracy theory that the Democratic party only supports welfare programs to keep people poor and stupid thus making them easier to control.

And it's like right next to Garfield! That cat sure loves lasagna and Hates A Monday!

To be fair, and it's been awhile since I've read a newspaper, so fellow Pittsburgh goons help me out here (or tell me I'm mistaken), but Doonesbury is run in the funny section too, I think.
Sure, Doonesbury is actually Not poo poo, but it's still political.

Did anyone else's paper ever segregate the more political strips away from the other comics, but not with the rest of the political cartoon either? Doonesbury and Boondocks ran next to the crossword a page ahead of where the daily strips were in the AJC.

I'm pretty sure it's "Give money. Slave better."

As someone who's old enough to have read Bloom County when it was current, I'm really hoping that BC 2015 just pretends that Outland and Opus never happened.

Pretty much, when I was a kid I never read Doonesbury because following it was too much effort for my tiny mind, while Fillmore was quick and easy and in retrospect therefore a much more obvious propaganda tool. Which is dangerous considering how more extreme and nakedly hateful its message is.

Out of curiosity, did you understand anything of what Fillmore was saying? Or did your mind at the time gloss it over for "haha talking duck"?

The main reaction I can remember having is "wow this duck sure hates Bill Clinton!" Apart from that it was mainly "I guess this person I haven't heard of is probably pretty bad???" which is the same reaction I had for the only Doonesburys I read (the ones where politicians were drawn as waffles or whatever)

I really enjoyed "The Gays Got Married", a satirical country ballad by Trevor Moore (formerly of Whitest Kids You Know):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7YW045deBY

quote:

Then the gays got married
And the plant shut down
And the crops dried up
Everywhere around
....
Been in this bunker three long years
Canned food and recycled air
Yet I shudder when I think about
What must be happening up there
A radioactive scorched desertscape
Ruled by roving biker gangs
With scary tattoos and muscley arms
Blue eyes and super cute bangs
