After 9/11 and the dotcom bubble, Bush sent the economy soaring to remarkable new heights and it stayed there until some Kenyan boy took office.

If gridlock makes you late to work in Tehran it's not out of place to say "death to traffic" as opposed to, say, "gently caress traffic".
I love the phrasing of this. It's great. It's a shame we can't separate that phrasing from actual death threats in people's minds. I want to wish death upon inanimate objects, abstract concepts and minor inconveniences too.

I'd seriously love to see exactly how long Tinsley would last working at Wally World or at a McJob.

That sort of news would be a gift to this thread, I don't think any of our regular worthless shits deserve to have a normal, unbearable everyday job as much as Tinsley does. I seriously think that for him, being unemployed would be a better fate than that.

Ahahaha wow. Mysterious lack of a #41 in this cartoon. And then The Bush Recovery. Sometimes Ramirez draws literal mountains of debt, cars careening off of cliffs and giant overwrought machinery, sometimes he goes gives up on reality and draws about how Obama did 9/11 and then said "Mission Accomplished".

They strapped a jar of strained peas to the hood of their car and used it to lure the fetus out of its protected womb into the open. I'm surprised you haven't heard, it's a big deal on social media.

Solving all of life's problems through enhanced casting of Occam's Razor. Reward yourself with an imaginary chalice.

Racism is a myth! Obamacare is a joke! We are all pawns, controlled by something greater: White American Jesus. The savior of the soul. He shapes our will. He is our culture. He is everything we pass on.

Wash away the anger.

Here I kneel upon the muddy, damp terrain.
The jungle's birdsong keeps looping the same refrain.
Wash away the blood until my forceps shine,
But I have just begun, can't stop with one this time.
Give us funding, bloody reaper,
With one flick of my knife.

The cash will flow, like an opened gate.
Don't sell these for cheap,
I will not let up until it's very clear
These lives will end, until the end of days,
As long as Dems have power.
This thought will never rest
Until our minds are clear,
When we have found this meme has disappeared.
The memes disappear.

I can't help but be slightly impressed that he drew a fetus as a fetus (I think?) instead of the eight year old children his colleagues tend to draw. Low expectations and all that.

How the hell would you do that to a drill press? That doesn't make any sense.

I dont know posted:

In the book, Rall sneaks into the school's shoproom and replaces the drill bit on that press with one that is crooked. Brian uses the drill press without clamping the sheet metal that he is drilling causing the metal to spin out and slice open his abdomen and he gets eviscerated. This plan hinges on 1) No one else using the drill press before Brian 2) Brian using that particular press 3) Brian not securing the sheet metal 4) Brian not examining the state of the machine prior to using it and probably a billion other little things. However, it works absolutely according to plan, because this is a fictional story and not something that ever happened.

Here's how it is portrayed in the book:

On top of all the other garbage that makes Ted Rall awful, his original sin is that he can't draw for poo poo. People can make good art that is intentionally hard to look at. His art sucks and everyone can tell at a primal level.

Edit: Ramirez is also terrible but is fine art in comparison.

I assume part of the reason he uses so many captions is that his art is so confusing and messy that it can't convey much of any information. Half the time, the captions just explaining what is going on in a particular panel, something that the art should be able to do on it's own.

Here's some more attempts after he split Alt-Bart's gut, which is also written in those court transcripts.

JaggerMcDagger posted:

So after Rall disemboweled Brian and told him that he hoped he died, the principal called Rall into his office to whine at him and call him a pussy in his mind. No real punishment, though. Rall decided that the best way to handle Koff was to be "passive aggressive". Rall then demonstrates that he doesn't know what being passive aggressive means, but not before getting punched in the stomach again and called a fag (f count 11). Anyway, this happens next.


Passive aggressiveness.

JaggerMcDagger posted:

My Mutilation of Brian: Chapter 5
Life in the Passive-Aggressive Lane

So if you thought a 5-pound brick to the head dropped from two stories up would kill Brian, you haven't gotten the theme of the story yet.

Rall begins to fantasize


Rall eventually takes a paperboy job so he could throw papers through the Koff's windows, and then comes another one of the really good pages.

Proof that Rall does not know what the world moral means.

JaggerMcDagger posted:

Chapter 6
Final exam: D-Day

So over the summer, Rall hit puberty. In his own words, "I grew eight inches in three months, gained a dozen pounds, and picked up a girlfriend"
And so on the first day of high school, Rall was "surprised" when Brian punched him in the back of the head at his locker. Rall looks down at Brian, literally, because Rall is now bigger than him. Rall then fears that if he doesn't do some sort of retaliation, this will happen.

(that book would make a good avatar)
And so Rall responds appropriately.



That's not the final one in the book (he destroyed Brian's car and threw a brick through Brian's room window), but I figure this is enough Rall.
