One thing I respect about MacKay's cartooning is that he finds ways to work labels into his cartoons instead of just writing "DEBT" on top of something and calling it a day.

Also his caricatures are pretty recognizable even without labels to begin with.

Before you ask, his Obama is not that great though (example).

He actually did call the San Bernadino shootings terrorism, which is what they usually want but he also emphasized that The USA is not at war with Islam. So there's that.

I tried running it manually through google translate but my french sucks (as does googles!) From what I was able to gleam it's a story about a muslim family or something? The sentences I translated weren't exactly nice. Something about blacks and browns rejoicing and at that point I figured it wasn't worth it to keep going.

I always feel conflicted about Hebdo in that the line between satire and "ironic" racism is pencil-thin and easy to cross. At some point missteps and attitudes shift within an organization. I feel the same way about Robert Crumb.

It's basically a hit piece on white liberal guilt. The Padamalgams (pas d'amalgame, "non-mixed" if you will) are basically a family of Portland liberals who loooove the Blacks and the Browns (that's their last names, subtle!) and can't wait to show how superior they are to everyone by rushing to every massacre to enjoin people not to give in to mistrust of other races (except the Chinese, they're Chinese so gently caress 'em -- that's from the article too) but of course they send their kids to all-white schools and don't know any minorities personally from Adam. It's... a strange one. There's definitely a lot of context I'm missing to know where the author's coming from.

I guess what it comes down to is that I don't know what it means when you call someone a turkey. The only time I've heard it said outside of Thanksgiving themed political cartoons was that PSA where a drug dealer offers some kid pot and calls him a chicken, and the kid says "hey at least I'm not a turkey," and that never made sense.

Turkeys represents Turkey, at least in English, for pretty much the same reason that Native Americans are Hindu.

No idea how accurate it is, but turkeys are considered kinda stupid and goofy.

Also they're a bit of a pain in the rear end to cook properly compared to other poultry.

A turkey is a bird that is believed to be so loving dumb it will look up into a rainstorm and drown. A turkey is the dumbest of all birds, colloquially. It can't fly. It looks like a nerd. If it was as tall as you you could grab it's dumb neck flap and pull it down and say listen here buster. There is nothing respectable about being a turkey.
You missed an ostrich which is known for burying its head in the sand to ignore problems.

Wild turkeys are noticeably less stupid than domesticated ones and can fly, actually, though they do so ponderously and without grace, like a garbage truck on a poorly-paved road or your mom lumbering to the buffet line for the fifth time.

You're also missing the "jive turkey" connotation from the 70's.

Back then, a "turkey" was an insulting term used mostly by "urban types" to mean something along the lines of "rear end in a top hat" or "dickhead".

You saw it a lot on TV where they couldn't use the other words.

Yeah benjamin franklin thought they were cool enough to be our national symbol instead of basically a vulture with an ego, that makes such awful hisses we dub over them with the red tailed hawk's piercing cry so nobody knows we have a hissing carrion bird that eats roadkill for a mascot.

The point is when someone calls you a turkey it is not a compliment and everyone in america understands this.

Nah they don't hiss, they have a pathetic gurgling squeak. And they don't eat roadkill, they swarm on literal dumps.

Franklin wasn't actually serious about making the turkey the national bird, he suggested it sarcastically to show he felt that pretty much anything would be better than the eagle
