Darkman Fanpage posted:So I don't get this. Is the cartoonist just butthurt that they voted to scrap the submarine? Apparently one party can no longer suggest policies that another party has already pursued. Both Scottish Labour and the SNP want Trident scrapped. This makes Scottish Labour bad and unoriginal and they have poopy faces.

I'm okay with this one just because I know  must have been sent into a frothing scotch-fueled rage at a party calling themselves "Liberal" doing well and the only thing he could think of to reframe it was his old standby of kicking millennials when they're down. You can feel his spite, it's beautiful.

It's a perfect example for death of the author. It could be worse: Aldous Huxley intended part of the dystopian horror of Brave New World to come from the idea that women in an gender-egalitarian society with unconditional access to birth control might be able to have or not have sex with whoever they wanted.

Jesus Christ, I hate the retarded bullshit that people think is worth still teaching schools even though it's outdated. (Yes, I know this cartoon is super dumb because kids know what a clock is.) People I went to high school with who have kids now bitch that kids aren't learning cursive in schools. I point out that there is literally no modern day applicable use for cursive so why waste time teaching it in school when kids are barely learning math and basic reading comprehension and they come back with some hippie bullshit about how their autistic kids get so much out of learning cursive and it makes your brain work in a different way or something. I mean that's cool and everything but maybe you can teach your kids that on your own or get them special lessons instead of insisting that every kid has to learn it because of your special snowflake.

Society in Brave New World is structured to encourage constant casual sex with no thought or emotional commitment as part of a wider scheme to promote consumption and compliance. There's an argument to be made that there is a misogynistic element to this view of casual sex, but the horror comes from a much broader context than simply women having agency. Even if that was somehow his intended point, his position must have changed, since in the utopia Huxley describes in Island also features widespread birth control in a gender-egalitarian society.

"I use Wagner, Scares the hell out of the teabaggers. My boys love it!" Also the Liberal party in Canada is basically supposed to be in favor of the same garbage economic policies that conservatives like but without the hatred of women and minorities right?

It's a perfect example for death of the author. He wrote an essay at some point which said it was about about how people were eschewing personal interaction with each other in favor of playing with their gizmos and this was bad. Never thought it was supported all that well by the text, but it's a well-known enough explanation for the book to suit my point. Science fiction has been tossing around questions about how free thought and individuality factor into one's definition of humanity and how technology could be helping or hindering it for decades now; as another poster pointed out, modern zombie media jumped on the concept almost immediately after it's creation because it was such a natural fit. 'People with their phones are like zombies' is an old complaint in new packaging, made all the more trite and vapid by the veneer of 'edgy' the artist give it. They might as well have given everyone fleecy coats because they're sheeple.

The hatches are in the wrong place, but apart from that Kal has actually drawn Obama and Putin sitting on the correct current MBTs for their army. That's what research looks like, Tinsley, if your eyesight isn't too blurred to see it.

Twenty years from now, academics desperate to get their papers published will argue that Muir is the greatest cartoonist of all time because of how rigorously he challenges form and narrative convention. Mark my words.

Is there some reason people are getting pissy about daylight savings time this year? I don't remember anything from previous years. I can't understand how people are mad about getting an extra hour of sleep on Saturday.

If your interpretation of these cartoons is that they're pissy about DST, instead of just using it as a setup for a punchline, then I dunno what to tell you.

Dr. Killjoy posted:"I use Wagner, Scares the hell out of the teabaggers. My boys love it!" Yeah the Liberal Party is the party of big business in Canada so they're basically bog-standard neoliberal centrists, meaning they have fairly conservative economic policies, do horrible poo poo like selling undervalued public assets to rich people to pay for stuff instead of raising taxes, and believe in the neoliberal doctrine that if you ever do raise taxes they have to be balanced out 1 to 1 by cutting taxes somewhere else. But simultaneously they don't hate women, Muslims, gay people, young people, or refugees, so they're a noticeable improvement on our conservatives. loquacius posted:I don't think anyone's posted this Bennett yet What a coincidence Bennett, that's exactly how I feel about this cartoon.

I feel like this is a question that Stilton himself has, and is hoping someone will answer, but he doesn't want to come off as being concerned about climate change so he had a liberal avatar ask.
