I'm less joking now but Ellen was on tv for a decade, came out, and stayed on for another decade and basically nothing changed. She does her silly mom dance and the same harmless comedy she's always done and it's hard to hate someone who does a dumb dance they enjoy and looks like they don't even mind you laughing at them. That's why george bush's presidential farewell tour looked like this:


Nah, dog. You're remembering it wrong. Ellen came out and her show was immediately canceled, she was off tv for years until she got her new show.

Like, has a single person changed their mind on Kim Davis, rather than entrenching deeper? She hasn't gone off like that cattle guy, that I know of.

The joke is that Jeff Stahler's style is to brainstorm concepts and pick the least funny one, preference given to complaining about how stupid new things are. He makes me angrier than any other cartoonist posted here because he's not even a partisan hack, he's a baby boomer hack.

I went looking for a particular cartoon that I remember being particularly infuriatingly banal, but since I have no idea when it was published I just went through the 2005 archives and found a bunch just as bad. Note that these aren't his political 'toons but his "funny" ones that go alongside Marmaduke:

I've never understood people who are like "god phones these days don't even sound like phones!" Like the random tolling of bells that happened to be easy to produce is somehow inherently more phone-like than whatever other noise gets your attention. It's not like a phone ring is at all related to the functionality of the phone like the sound a car's engine makes or something, since the very first phone it's been an arbitrary noise maker that activates when you receive a call.

I know she went from having a sitcom, to being cancelled, to getting another sitcom where her character was gay from the beginning, to being also immediately cancelled, to getting a morning show, but after those hiccups it was smooth sailing and the essence of her bland harmless goofy comedy, at least in my peripheral, never changed. And it was during her stewardship of the mom dance show that the yes/no on gay marriage finally flipped.

During the Month of Zen I caught a Bill O'Rielly interview from 03ish, where he claimed that Ellen would never be a real star because no one wants to hear about her love life on television. The audience cheered in approval. Kinda weird to behold today.

Then in January, cartoonists at the offices of the Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris were slaughtered.

Suddenly, I was faced with a completely new world. Instead of a nice, quiet convention in nice, quiet Columbus, Ohio, I had lots of concerns – like would any of us be murdered en masse. After the shootings at the ridiculous Pam Geller-instigated Muhammad cartoon show in Garland, Texas, I was even more concerned.

It involves him saying "falafel" instead of "loofah," yes.

Tell the truth and run.
The funniest part of the falafel scandal, for me, was that O'Reilly had to cancel his book tour for “The O'Reilly Factor – For Kids.”

Incidentally, the loofah/falafel thing is probably a transcription error. It was originally from a tape-recorded phone conversation.
