OAquinas posted:At what point does Tinsley start losing papers? Using the death of a dozen people as a (stupid) funny page gag seems like its way over some lines. Or should be, anyway. At the point conservatives stop being the whiniest people imaginable and not a second beforehand. He can do virtually anything, but as long as there's a group with a persecution complex saying taking him down would be an attack on them, he will stay.

"I have literally no understanding of the current American political climate beyond sound bites, and most of them are over five years old at this point. I still deserve my job as an up-to-date commentator." - Michael "Two. Yes, two." Ramirez. "Slaughter." Always a word I look for on the loving funny pages.

Tinsley can't even make a good loving comparison. If we're making a comparison to Aurora, then the equivalent to what Tinsley is saying is "the shooter hates churchgoers" which is what a lot of conservative people were saying to avoid a connection to racism. Way to go Tinsley, you mocked your own loving side, you incompetent hack. Please quit and let someone who gives a poo poo take a stab at comics.

Rorus Raz posted:Tinsley can't even make a good loving comparison. As much as I hate to defend it, I don't think it's quite that dumb. Tinsley isn't talking about the shooter's motivations, but the futility of using them as any kind of reference for the broader culture. He's saying that if the Charleston shooting means America in general has a problem with racism, then the Aurora shooting must mean Americans in general have a problem with theater-goers. It's the lone crazy with a gun argument in dumber clothes. There is no rise in domestic terrorism, there is no connection to right-wing white supremacist groups, and there is no pattern of hostility and increasing racial animus that the public is starting to become more and more aware of. Just one nutcase with a grudge. Don't think about it any further.

Could one of the old guard of lovely Republican echochambering be... recognising the bullshit for what it is... and rejecting it? Don't you loving ruin this for me, you guys, I want this, I want Tinsley to stop being such a horrendously negative influence, I want him to realise that he's been lied to for decades and to no longer take it.

Rorus Raz posted:Honestly I was thinking an apolitical cartoonist. They can run Prickly City to placate anyone that hates Doonesbury or, I dunno, is Boondocks still running in papers? Boondocks basically faded out of its newspaper run as the animated series spun up. I don't think McGruder is looking to go back to it now that the cartoon is done either.

If I read Mallard as nothing more than a terrible reporter who doesn't check his facts and says stupid poo poo on TV all the time the comic seems much better. Like he's a talking duck, so they keep him on TV as a novelty and people forgive him because hey, "He's just a stupid duck!"

Remember why he's in there. The papers that use his poo poo are probably the kind that believe 'Well, if it's pissing off those goddamn bleeding hearts, imagine the chuckles it gets from the gentry!'. A letter-writing campaign might well backfire.

Yeah Allie hasn't really done any national cartoons this year. He just does his local stuff for whatever site and hands in his daily Prickly City strips. It's kinda sad since he is a talented cartoonist, even if he is a colossal shithead. poo poo, he hasn't even bothered keeping his personal site up-to-date, the last cartoon being posted in April. The comments are just bots trying to sell each other poo poo.

It'd be 2 weeks of him calling everyone babies and Redacting all of the "engish" language so as not to offend the delicate sensibilities of his readers. Also, trigger warning: he self identifies his comics as satire.

You're right, and all, but a good rule of thumb is that if there's a lower threshold of dumbness a Tinsley cartoon could be reaching, It almost certainly is doing.. Tinsley's razor: the dumbest interpretation is the most likely to be what the cartoonist had in mind. Works for the likes of Branco, Rob Smith Jr, and sometimes Lester and the McCoys too.
