I dug up his Roosevelt arc because it's important to remember when Muir mattered.

I'd personally love to see his vision of heaven. Is Muir religious? My assumption is he hedges his spiritual bets

He's actually stated that in the comic a few times.

Then Disney did a couple of focus groups and decided to tone it down. I can't really blame them for it.

Spooky scary politoons
cause shitposts all the time
Shrieking pols will wound your soul
No good toons tonight

Spooky scary politoons
Worse than any ghost
You'll curse and mutter in disgust
when you read these cartoon posts

We're so sorry, politoons
You're sad and always tense
You only want to educate
But we're willfully dense

'Cause spooky scary politoons
start whiny, shrilly rants
The only thing more agitating
is an rear end without pants

Labels, so superfluous

We have to let the whole world know

Spooky scary politoons

Its a repeating plot point that you can go around assaulting people and there's literally nothing anyone can or will do about it.

Mind, come to think of it, the same is true when he just straight up assaults people, so objection withdrawn, I guess.

It's a point from one of the earliest issues, before it went to Vertigo from DC's short-lived Helix imprint, that Spider has "journalism insurance" that insulates him from the worst consequences of his acting like a violent moron.

There's a parallel between the guy who uses a veneer of politics to justify creating his porn webcomic, and people who use the veneer of politics to justify following the porn webcomic, I think.

DbD sucks and is bullshit, but it's part of the thread and this recurring complaint is obnoxious af. Nobody says that JRRose! shouldn't get posted just because he sometimes makes cartoons about women's basketball or chain restaurants; people are usually glad to see a non-political Mallard, because it's his least loathsome output.

You didn't even have to scroll past Day by Day this time! All you had to do was not click a link. It's super no big deal.

No matter what you believe, I don't believe in you.

My main input is that if we ban Day By Day as officially too lovely to even be posted here, we must touch the poop (I will do it myself) and tell the author he's too godawful for us to even consider anymore, as Muir is utterly devoid of talent, insight, or ability and frankly should kill himself posthaste.

Oh good, another pointless argument over who's the worst ever and who we should ban. This has certainly never been discussed before and always leads to productive results. Because we can always agree on who's the most hateful and can always agree that means we don't want to see it.

Now, banning DbD is a different conversation. It's always seemed more like a lovely webcomic that gets political often than an actual "political cartoon." Isn't there a thread for lovely webcomics? If we do want to draw any lines in the sand, it should be because something isn't really a "political cartoon" and not because it's the most hateful. There's a reason we never miss posting a McCoy or lester, because if you're coming here you hate yourself and want to see terrible and hateful opinions in the form of political cartoons. Not sure DbD is that.

My biggest problem with DBD is that I have a fear that my wife will catch me peeping one of the NSFW panels.

No. Not because of the nudity. Or cartoon porn. That's not a big deal. But because she might think I'm into it and be okay with it. She'll be open enough to accept my weird fetish that I don't even have, and when I try to defend myself she'll just think I'm too embarrassed to admit it. She'll tell me she loves me anyway and I'll try everything to convince her it's not like that.

Having to defend yourself from being accused of liking DBD porn. I just want to die thinking about it.

To be fair, there's not usually a lot to discuss about a DbD strip. Half a dozen posts about how sad Muir is. One or two posters pointing out how it's A Good Cartoon. Maybe some light discussion on how stupid the resolution of the current plot will be, all of which will be completely overshadowed by how stupid the plot actually turns out to be.

The Roosevelts arc was clearly the peak, can't we retcon it so Zed died back then and everything since has been a dream he's been having while bleeding out? That way we get closure and we can stop posting it.

DbD's really gone downhill in terms of hilarious awful political commentary. It's pretty much just titillation now, which is terribly boring. After all noone is questioning posting Tinsley even though that's just a cartoon that sometimes gets political.

only thing that's kept it even half worth it is the edits

DbD is terrible and probably shouldn't be posted, but the only thing more unbearable than terrible cartoons is lengthy arguments about which cartoons are terrible. So let's maybe not do that.
