I read a bio that compared his work to famous cartoonists and I can only assume that the reviewer was either paid well or had their family held hostage. I mean this: quote:Another Brooklyn boy. Born March 8, 1938. Graduated from Queens College 1961. Wrote and drew funny cards for Norcross. After dismissal for loudness and jocular attitude became a freelance gag cartoonist for the former "Mad Mag" guys who were then doing "Cracked". Moved on to doing cartoons for Playboy. Included in several "Best Of" Playboy anthologies. Fell in with the anti-Vietnam War folks and was actually elected delegate to the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago where, in spite of all the riots, was unable to get arrested. In 1971 moved to Israel, changed first name from Jerry to Yaakov, and in 1973 began drawing a daily editorial strip called Dry Bones. In 2013 the toon celebrated its 40th year in the Jerusalem Post. It has been reprinted or quoted by the NY Times, Time Mag, LA Times, CBS, AP, etc.

Jedit posted:You could say it tanked. <dons sunglasses, plays The Who> But the far right absolutely loved Quayle. He may have been out of his depth, but he was a true believer, mainly there to reassure conservatives who saw Bush as a milquetoast moderate. Wow, another Palin similarity. DivineCoffeeBinge posted:While I agree with all of the above, there was some anger at the end of Gulf War I - GHWB was seen to have essentially left the job unfinished. Saddam was still there, after all, and all he seemed interested in doing was making the occasional speech. And Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney wisely pointed out that if we had invaded Iraq, we'd be stuck in an open-ended occupation trying to hold together factions that hated each other. It's a shame we didn't have someone like that in power in 2003 to talk Bush 2 out of his invasion plan.

gradenko_2000 posted:He was the target of a negative campaign by the HW Bush camp in Bush's effort to lose his image of being a "wimp", and in the event Dukakis was unable to defend himself effectively and came off as an archetypal ivory-tower liberal. Also, on the shallow end, Dukakis was a short, funny-looking guy with an ethnic name, who hailed from one of the most liberal areas of the country. And yet, despite that, he was unable to articulate any sort of compelling or convincing case for liberal policies. He ran as a mushy moderate, and only started acting like an actual Democrat once the race was almost over and it was obvious he was going to lose. The spectacle of Democrats who are unable or unwilling to stand up for what they actually believe in goes way back.

Cartoons? 1Actually, prison overcrowding is a problem and...  2Hillary's campaign is going fine and doesn't need Bill right now.  3Christmas ain't over til I'm outta holly   4The elephant has gone to the mad place.  5I can't believe it's still 2015 in America.  6I'm afraid the puppet therapy isn't working, doctor.  7Awkward craning of heads to see the tiny drone almost covered by word balloon. Truly one of the Great Masters of the art form.  8See? Someone gets it.

It seems like Varvel believes that Hillary will win her bid and so as the next president she can, in case of national emergency, bring Bill back to the stage eg. as her secretary of state or special envoy.  I haven't actually heard of Bill doing anything recently, but the holidays kept me detached from the news so I dunno.

He also had heart surgery in 2010 so he's probably just hanging around being old these days. I mean the dude's almost 70 and was freaking president so if he wants to putter around and not really be doing anything I think he's earned it.

On the other hand, I think Hillary wants to stand on her own and not appear to be riding Bill's popularity, so maybe she'll just have Obama give a speech which wouldn't be a terrible idea.

Wow, another Palin similarity. That's true, but the far right don't matter any more than the far left do because they'd each vote for their respective parties if Hitler stood for them against Jesus. What matters is the "thinking minority" in the middle who will change sides if they get worried enough.

Dumpin' ground. 1  I don't think I like the new management of Marble Slab. 2  but but but are his pants on the GROUND!? 3  Good lord, does that really need a label? May as well label Uncle Sam as "AMERICA", Monty, I don't think your target audience is smart enough to catch on! 4  uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 5  6  I keep posting Van Dam because I want people to loathe him as much as I do. 7  The title of this cartoon is listed as "Islam and Global Warming." 8  I don't post Kamensky a lot, he's usually kinda dull, but I will never pass up an "I LOOOOOOVE DEATH!" 9  I'm just going to pretend that disembodied head over there is his sidekick. 10  Repost of the Rall in color (because that really improves the art, donchaknow.) 11  I'm kinda sad to not see a new Allie update, I wanted to know if he was still committed to ALL STAR WARS ALL THE TIME.
