Another year passed and another year of horrible cartoons to vote on. Welcome to Fourth Annual Gay Abortions! Previous Years' Gay Abortions: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 Mid-term Process: Any poster may submit cartoons until 23:59 EST on January 6th. Please only submit a single cartoon for each category. A post does not require a nominee for each category. Everyone is allowed one post in which to nominate cartoons. If you would like to change your nominees, please edit that post before the deadline on January 6th. Because we are running late this year, please do not submit anything produced after December 31st of 2015. Most of what was submitted to the Mid-Term Gay Abortions will be automatically up for nomination this go around. I will be moving ones that were submitted to 'Worst Transphobic' to 'Least Concealed Bigotry (LBGT)' as that will not be a category this time. There also will not be 'Cheerleading for Putin' so if you had one nominated during the Mid-term resubmit it to what would be an appropriate category. Voting will begin immediately after the submissions are compiled into the post below this one. Voting will last till 23:59 EST January 10th. The votes will be tallied and results announced as soon as tallying is done. Vote for each category by naming the category and the letter indicating that political cartoon. A template ballot will be provided. Judges: Fulchrum and I are this year's tyrannical judges. Chamale will also be helping with the tally. The judges may agree to veto any submission, or trim a list if there are too many nominees. Please ask if you have questions about the Gay Abortions Awards or any part of the nomination and voting processes. Rules and Suggestions: Standard D&D rules apply. Please don't quote all the images from a nomination post unless you intend to discuss all them. For discussions about current politics not related to the Awards, please take it to the regular Political Cartoons Thread. Post political cartoons of at least some prominence. Any thread regular or syndicated cartoonist is fine, pulling cartoons from a nobody's DeviantArt account is not. Categories: This is the largest Gay Abortion yet with 16 categories. We have four categories this year based around specific events, split 'Bigotry' into two separate ones, and two new general categories. The award categories are
- Winners! Worst Middle East cartoon: With 23% of the vote, Bob Lang narrowly beat out the second place comer... Bob Lang. If I am running this again next year, I will trim these down better. Worst Paris Attacks Cartoon: With an impressive 43% Ted Rall lets us know what is really important about the Charlie Hebdo shootings. Ben Garrison's Political Correctness Suicide came in distant second. Worst Refugee Crisis Cartoon: 23% of the vote went to the Daily Mail's Mac for refering to refugees as literal vermin. Joe Liccar was not to far behind. Worst Planned Parenthood Cartoon: Branco got 28% of the vote by summoning the specter of Joseph Mengele. Glenn McCoy was a close second. Worst Cartoon about a Tragedy: 22% of the vote gives Branco another 'win'. The rest of the votes were fairly evenly split. Worst Caricature: Ted Rall barely got another award by giving us multiple unrecognizable grotesqueries with only 18% of the vote. Worst "A Thing Happened" Cartoon: With 16% total votes, Kirschen is awarded for this wet fart after seeing his dreams realized. Gorrell lost by a single vote which seems appropriate. Worst Cartoon about a Movie: Combining two movies into one pointless cartoon, Glenn 7oDN wins with 35% of the vote. Second place goes to Branco. Worst Label: Bell sadly wins with 23% by defacing what could be a powerful cartoon. All other nominees came in with less then 10%. Least Concealed Bigotry (Racism) in a Cartoon: Get hosed Glenn McCoy, ya' win with 34% vote. Lang's ME cartoon earns second with only half the votes as McCoy. Least Concealed Bigotry (LGBT) in a Cartoon: Branco is on a roll, winning with 27% of the vote. Mike Lester came in second. Laziest Non-Gorrell Cartoon: Rameriz places first with 35% by turning in a blank canvas with four words. Christian Adams takes second by skipping the words altogether. Most Easily Reinterpreted: Gorrell wins with 20%. Losing by two votes is Glenn McCoy. Overall Worst Political Cartoon: After placing first in ME and second in Racism, Lang's cartoon is awarded Worst by 23% of the vote. Coming in second is Ramirez. Best Edit/Parody: and the rest of the series. In a landslide, Rorus Raz wins the best parody with 39% of the vote. It is fully earned after making Bok lose his drat mind and spawning a golden thread. 'Nonsense, This Is An Election Year': I have no idea what this means and Ramirez wins with 32%. Branco follows a few steps behind with his nonsense. Thanks to everyone who participated and thanks to Chamale for the original OP and doing these for the last few years. World Famous W fucked around with this message at 03:29 on Jan 14, 2016 |

Can we nominate a series for laziest? Cause I say Drinky Duck losing the head feathers. Its Tinsley finally jut giving up entirely and realising he doesn't care enough to even stick to his character design. Some individual comics can be lazier, but thats by far the laziest act of the year.

I would like to suggest that the award for laziest be named the Bob Gorrell Award for Sloth in Cartooning, since the man himself earned his Lifetime Achievement Award.

Also, I should post this reminder that, should Gorrel not have been banned, he would have won yet again: His first cartoon of this year. e: also: Broken Loose posted:I went back through Gorrell's archives to see if I could find last year's version of that cartoon. What I found instead was worse.

fool_of_sound posted:Also, I should post this reminder that, should Gorrel not have been banned, he would have won yet again: The stupid New Year's one was just him being lazy as gently caress and turning in the wrong cartoon, but this is all moot because he releases at least one blank cartoon a year which makes him a shoe-in.

I lot of cartoonists turn in lazy, hacky work over stuff they don't actually give a poo poo about, but only Yaakov Kirschen decided to be ridiculously lazy about a subject he's been banging on about for years. His response to Justin Pollard being freed was pathetic, even for a man who can barely cobble together images suitable for a children's book. It's my pick for Laziest Non-Gorrell Cartoon.
