It's been 125 years and still Dropping the Pilot is usually good for half a dozen adaptations per annum. Some mines just keep giving of their richest veins, and we can only hope that when the Balrog appears it isn't being drawn by Rowson.

No joke, I think this is something he was going for in a way, hence the swastika and 'Down with the fuzz' on the wall contrasting Muslims just having wholesome boring past-time.

Mac always draws a swastika He's never actually seen graffiti where he lives, but he's heard about it when he visited that London, and so in his mind it's just someone writing "CHELSEA" on a wall and drawing a swastika under it

Mac's drawing of a wall was so realistic it confused Mac himself and he thought for a moment he was out on one of his late-night nazi vandalism sprees that he goes on every Tuesday, got to keep the dream alive

I on the other hand subscribe to a different theory, its the "Mac is really old' theory. If you look at some of Bell's old stuff, like the Thatcher CYOA or the like, he often drew similar looking punks to Mac's style and would sometimes have them in graffiti filled alleys. Since Mac is very old and hasn't been outside since the 1980s that is what he thinks stuff is still like.

Guavanaut posted:Well we know that Glyn is 80. Mac's about that age himself. My guess is he's put it there as a birthday greeting for a friend of his. I'm not entirely sure how much of a complement it is to put birthday wishes in an at-best-questionable cartoon next to MANCHER UTD ROOL and an actual goddamn swastika, but I'm sure Glyn will smile politely regardless. e: also Mac's initials are SM (Stanley McMurty), and according to wikipedia his wife's name is Liz, so if her maiden name ends in a V there's almost evidence that Mac is actually human in some capacity.

Mac's cultural references are 80s football hooligans and the Bash Street Kids, as well as 70s sitcoms about hen-pecked husbands. He's from a uh different time as they say

You know, not every Mac cartoon is a direct expression of his terrible views, sometimes he just makes a silly joke. Usually he at least manages to put a horrible racist caricature in the background, but when not consumed by hatred of The Other he can occasionally just make a normal cartoon. The need to emphasise that this robo-cop is not only a robo-cop but also a Female Woman is a little curious, though that's more to do with the Mail's initial framing of the story than Mac's reaction to it.
