You don't need to justify it. Attacks on her family and appearance are exactly as poo poo as attacks on the Obama/Clinton family, while attacking her for her policies and general ineptitude is fair game. Don't use the latter to justify or mitigate the former.

Yeah, it was the stuff about her kids and the outright sexism that was beyond the pale, and if the rightwing had just stuck to responding to that with outrage then they would have honestly had the moral high ground, but they just couldn't help themselves. I think the worst was still the right's/media's attempts to use the left's complaints about their poor treatment of Chelsea as some big gotcha when people started ragging on the Bush twins as though there's no difference between a 12 year old and an 19 year old when it comes to public life.

Huh, I'd never expected Gary McCoy to call for a world government. Or maybe he's just suggesting for Stone Golem Lincoln to lead United States in a global war of conquest. I mean, it wouldn't be the dumbest cartoon he's made.

Stone Golem Lincoln would but he was reduced to just a head and ended up getting married and expecting kids so he's kinda got his plate filled. You could always ask Sam and Max to do it, Max was President for a while.

He wasn't. Lincoln searched for any way to avoid bloodshed even before taking office and tried his damnedest to avoid war. Indeed, if you want to go further you can as Paul Escott argues in What Shall We Do with the Negro: Lincoln, White Racism, and Civil War America that throughout the secession crisis and even well into the war itself he was far too willing to accommodate white southerners' reentry into the union at the expense of black slaves/freedmen.

I personally think Escott's got a chip on his shoulder and his research leans far, far too heavily on the undocumented conversations that took place at the Hampton Roads Conference in early 1865, the only accounts for which being written years after the war and coming from the Confederate commissioners, including notorious liar and all-around shitbag Alexander Stephens (who wrote his account as part of his self-justifying campaign to prove that, wouldn't you just know it, it turns out the war was really all about abstract points of constitutionality and the South was 100% right to do what it did and no slavery had nothing to do with it when did I ever say anything like that?). For all that, Escott's problem is going too far, not raising the issue of Lincoln's reluctant abolitionism in the first place.

In the first persons case maybe not, but it's a reasonably inoffensive comic that a lot of people seem to enjoy.

We never used the poster. It was to go up in the event of an actual invasion, if I'm remembering right, but that might be BS too.

$3000 a page sounds like a lot, but with Diaz' work rate you only end up paying like $5 a year.

Edit: Oh, you were making that joke but less ridiculous. I thought Diaz was on a pay-per-content-release payment scheme, like some YouTubers.

Who the gently caress is dumb enough to pay Diaz on a per-month basis.

I've said it in multiple webcomics threads: Diaz would be good if he got a writer who wasn't as stuck up his own rear end as he is, but he will never get a writer because he is too stuck up his own rear end to admit he needs one

I mean, he also can't storyboard for poo poo though so

The best part is that when people called out Diaz on not increasing his output to match what his patreon promised, Diaz got SUPER defensive and pissy about the whole thing. He went on a rant about how the old greats weren't paid like this, ignoring that people like Dickens were indeed paid based on their output.
