Asay had terrible opinions, but his art was good. Most other right-wing cartoonists are hardly any better opinion-wise but they're talentless hacks as well.

The best thing about Asay is/was how easily every single one of his cartoons can become Kellys:

Mr. Squishy posted:I think someone here wrote an email about it. That was me. I'm from Norway and that cartoon actually made me kinda angry. This is the response I got: Thanks very much for your thoughtful email. Yes, I can understand how many people (and I've heard back from some folks) who are offended by the cartoon. I suppose, in some way, I am blaming the victim a bit by drawing the contrast between the Vikings of old with the people of Norway today. I cannot understand why the security guard on the island was unarmed. It surprises me that there doesn't seem to be much outrage about the incident coming from the people of Norway. All I've seen in the American press are people crying (which is very reasonable) and lots of flowers and candles being placed on the ground. The story that set my mind to work on the cartoon was a statement by your leaders showing conviction about not losing the welcoming and peaceful image of the nation. I think Mr. Breivik should be tried as a war criminal like we tried Nazi murders after WWll. We have many people in the U.S. who still will not recognize civilized people are at war with terrorists...Muslim and secular. The only people our liberals can call a terrorists here are people who are in the conservative Tea Party movement. The attached cartoon is directed at our own Attorney General, Eric Holder who insists we need to give Muslim Jihadists, we are holding here, a very public trial (a stage to the world that your Mr. Breivik would like) with all the rights that citizens have in this country. I'm against that. I think our judicial systems are soft and fuzzy which places more innocent people at risk. I recognize we may have different world views but my hope is that people of all nations stiffen their spines and stand up against those who target innocent people to win power. Thanks again for your email. You write very well. Best wishes. Chuck

gradenko_2000 posted:No that's exactly what he means. Hugh Hefner is complicit in putting women in danger when they now have to expose themselves via SOME GIZMO rather than CLASSY PLAYBOY. I thought it was Hugh Hefner has totally given up the fight against dirty internet porn, and is sacrificing Playboys pornographic ventures in the hopes of continuing his publications survival. I guess I just have a hard time reading any concern for women as people into a Lester, even false concern.

Here's the thing: he didn't exactly build a clock. What he did was take the parts of a working clock and move them into a pencil case. He didn't so much "build a clock" as "repackage a clock." Anyone pointing that out is - technically - correct. That fact doesn't make the school's actions reasonable, nor does it really mean Ahmed isn't "really" a tinkerer. He did something very simple, and taking apart a piece of electronics and repackaging them in a new case such that they all still work isn't an unreasonable goal for a 14 year old who likes playing with electronics. It's not "I built a clock with a breadboard" but it is a step on the way there.

I want to roll my eyes at this guy and the "someone get this kid a genius grant, STAT" overreaction of cheer-leading but goddaaaaaamn I do not want to stand even remotely next to people calling him a terrorist.

A kid can have an ego and still not deserve to be bullied by the police and teachers and get called a terrorist. This is basically what Dick Dorkins has been saying. Of course, he accused the kid of deliberately getting arrested for fame and acts as if it not being a completely original invention validates the hosed up things that happened.

Barry Deutsch just reposted this old cartoon on street harassment he did: The story behind what happened afterwards is even more interesting, tho: quote:This is the only cartoon I've ever lost a job because of! A middle school in Beaverton, Oregon had me scheduled to speak to their students (I talk at schools in connection to my other job, as a maker of graphic novels for kids).

It's been pretty well confirmed to the point where someone tracked down the exact model number of clock of the original. Also Googling that let me discover that Ahmed Mohamed is in the news again. I'm just going to post the original Washington Post headline so that we can all be prepared for the next wave of cartoons: The American boy arrested for making a clock meets Sudan’s president, an accused war criminal I still think it's fair for Ahmed to call his clock an invention. No, it's not as technically impressive as "building his own clock" but honestly building a clock isn't that hard anyway. Basically: Improbable Lobster posted:In other words he made a sick case mod for the clock Is exactly correct. No, he didn't literally make a clock, but he should still be encouraged for what he did do.

Well, I'm not wild about using evidence from a guy who ends hit article with quote:Because, is it possible, that maybe, just maybe, this was actually a hoax bomb? A silly prank that was taken the wrong way? That the media then ran with, and everyone else got carried away? Maybe there wasn’t even any racial or religious bias on the parts of the teachers and police. but it seems like he or a reader did find the right clock.
