Teach me how to make a decent wage by being offended, I need some easy money.

1. Have no sense of shame, decency, or irony
2. Make a generally lovely comic strip about a farm animal complaining about things that offend ~~him~~ you
3. Get it in newspapers
4. Profit

Happy Reformation Day, Protestant goons!

post the lfest 16th century caricatures u got

"The seven heads of Martin Luther" (Doctor, Monk, Ottoman, clergyman, religious loon, wannabe-bishop, Barabbas)

Which led to...

"The seven-headed papal animal" (I especially like the caption in the middle: "An indulgence for a bag of money")

Luther and his bro Lucifer

Satire on the papal coat of arms

Lucifer and his sweet bagpipes

Satire on the Pope

"The Old and the New Church" (I think this is supposed to be pro-Lutheran, but I'm actually not sure)

Lutheran vs Catholic homilies

The Downfall of the Papacy

Luther and his bros

"The Papal rear end"

And finally have the Emperor literally sucking the Pope's dick

lots of good s back then

Yaakov's constant moaning about how unfair the media/US is while also coyly advocating for mass killings is why I hate him more than any other cartoonist in this thread. His lovely, cutesy style makes it even more loathsome, much like Assay.

There are a lot of bad cartoons posted in this thread, but Dry Bones is probably the only one where I legitimately think I could do a better job. Even ignoring his opinions, everything about it is just straight awful, the lazy, simplistic art, the incredibly dumb jokes, the awkward delivery spread out over four panels whether it flows well or not, etc. It's so bad in every way. I can't believe the creator is apparently a well-known and respected (?) cartoonist in Israel.

As I understand it it's kind of a Garfield-esque phenomenon, where he has a job and people read his cartoon because it's been around forever even though it objectively hasn't been any good for decades and arguably was never any good at all

It's not just a bad political cartoon, it's a spectacularly bad political cartoon.

Compare that to Dry Bones, which is so boring I have yet to read an entire Dry Bones ever. Well except that one that's a flower telling us to kill the Jews.

Anyway, that's something I would pay like $6 never to have to see again.

It's got political content to a fault, really. Even Doonesbury gives it a rest to develop characters and such, but part of DbD's comedy is how utterly focused on politics the characters are. Can you imagine you so consumed by political stuff? Spending so much time on...one........thing...

It's...really...

Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas

The funny thing about that movie is in the ads they pitched it as a "CHRISTMAS IS UNDER ATTACK WE MUST SAVE IT!" movie but it turns out it's about Kirk Cameron's ultra-religious brother character being grumpy about Christmas because all the stuff people like about it aren't biblical at all. That's why the film is so universally loathed even by it's target audience.
