Does anybody else feel Marty's recent stuff has been way wordier? The art is great, and it's a funny comic, but the text comes off as sorta rambling.

Well, the artist quality on most webcomics is on the characters face, and on this one is very good, so using the fill tool incorrectly is excusable.

So, Bennett just did this Title: "Enough is Enough" In an effort to figure out what the heck he's talking about, I scrolled down to the comments and saw this  so, in order: (a) some kind of sex-scandal thing happened in Cleveland, TN (b) according to folk wisdom saltpeter makes you less horny (c) Bennett made a joke out of this (d) this was a very very bad thing for him to have done according to selling the second amendment dot com, and finally (e) SNOPES

In case anyone else is wondering about the sexy details: """ Martin Ringstaff, the Cleveland City Schools director who has admitted to sending sexually explicit messages to a woman who is not his wife, can be fired for immorality, according to his contract. Ringstaff's contract, which the school board extended in February 2015, lists reasons why the board can fire him with cause. Among that list is "conduct unbecoming to a member of the teaching profession." And under that subsection is a second list that includes immorality. """

These past three weeks in  I've been busy lately. So here I am finally, late as usual, to show you stuff from issues 1226, 1227 and 1228 of Charlie Hebdo. Issue 1226  "The state of emergency, we shouldn't develop a taste for it!" Three weeks ago, the Constitutional Council (our Supreme Court, kinda) said that there was no problem with the fact that we were still under the state of emergency. The Council of State (our Supreme Court, kinda) agreed and said it saw no objections to furthering it by three more months. The government plans to add provisions in the Constitution related to the state of emergency. Woohoo. Kippa-gate - following the attack of a Jewish teacher who was wearing a kippa by a machete-wielding 15-year-old, a few authorities suggested that maybe Jews shouldn't wear kippas in public.  "Jews can keep on wearing their kippa without worry." "But only if they wear it under their hair!"  "Religion: A kippa can save your life!"  "There are good sides to a kippa" "It deters poachers, they don't like to be called antisemites" French politics  "Socialism marching on" Come on Hollande, you're gonna make it!  "When France is hurting, the French call for the seniors - Pétain, Juppé" Juppé was already Prime Minister in 1995, and he was sentenced to a suspended prison sentence in 2004 after a conviction for abuse of public funds (so was Chirac, in the same affair, years later). It's weird as hell that of all the people in Les Républicains, he would be the one who would most soundly beat Le Pen. International news  "Far from the jihadi tumult and worldly violence, Burundi is getting ready for its own genocide"  "Sanctions against Iran lifted" "One more week in black and I was losing it" My favorite this week. Issue 1227  "gently caress off, Tournier!" "Make room for literature!" Oh man, so many references in this one. Okay. Michel Tournier was a great French writer who died in January. "Casse-toi, Tournier" is a reference to a famous quote by Nicolas Sarkozy (portrayed on this issue's cover), "Casse-toi, pauv' con!", that I would translate as "gently caress off, stoopid bastard!". It was uttered in 2008 by the then-president, to a man who refused to shake hands with him and insulted him at the Paris International Agricultural Show (serious business in France). It became a famous meme because it was caught on camera nad then widely broadcast. In the cartoon, Sarkozy is writing his latest book - "La France pour la vie" ("France For Life"), a tome full of bullshit and inaccuracies. He later (jokingly? pretty sure he was joking) defended it by saying that "back in the day, Jean Racine suffered a lot from the criticisms over his play, Phèdre", a classic of French literature. Anyway, even though it was a joke, he got laughed at for it.  "Kinder Eggs: when you know, you stop eating them" Hands down my favorite cartoon in the recent issues. An obvious reference to foie gras, a French delicacy and nightmare for animal welfare.  "For lack of space in shelters, he dies of cold" "Really, we live in an 'everything, all and right now' society".  "Palin: White America rears its head"  Thumbed for size. "JAWS" "By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. What does the ocean look like?" The title is a pun. In France, Jaws is known as "Les dents de la mer", or "the teeth of the sea". Now they're the teeth of the polymer. Followed by a bunch of visual jokes such as "Fanta ray", "plastic-bag-jellyfish", you get the meaning. Coco is pretty good at these kinds of jokes.  "Government reshuffle: we're not gonna change a winning team" This cartoon was eerily prescient: on the day issue 1227 came out, Minister of Justice [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christiane_Taubira]Christiane Taubira[/url] left the government, and was replaced by Jean-Jacques Urvoas, a dude in the same tough-on-crime vein as Manuel Valls, our current Prime Minister. The men behind Hollande are caricatures of French gendarmes - the Gendarmerie Nationale is a national law enforcement agency that is under the responsibility of the military.  "Free Jacqueline Sauvage" "Or else I'm turning radical!" Jacqueline Sauvage was convicted by an appeals court last week for murdering her husband, a violent man whom she claims beat her ever since they got married, 47 years ago, and raped their children. FMany people have been clamoring for her release and her pardon by François Hollande. This week (and we'll see more about that in the next issue), a partial pardon was granted. Issue 1228  "Jacqueline Sauvage, Minster of Justice" "Laxism is over!" This cover is hilarious, take my word for it. Back when Taubira was Minister of Justice, she was always criticized by the right wing as a laxist who was opening the prison floodgates and releasing murderers and poo poo like this.  "Let's get Jacqueline Sauvage and Oscar Pistorius together!" My favorite this week.  Thumbed for size "A good oil is a dead oil" "Cheap oil - Great! Soon it'll be cheaper than tapwater! - Cool! Flamethrowers are cheaper than hunting rifles! - Awesome! Three glasses of kerosene for the price of a Pastis! - Top! Anti-dandruff kerosene is cheaper than regular Pétrole Hahn." "Expensive oil - After all, we can do without it! - A future mystery for tomorrow's archeologists 'It must have been an object of worship'". Followed by a criticism of our oil-based economy.  Thumbed for size, pussy, dick and rear end "the Iranian president in France" "After the covered statues in Italy, Rohani in France"  "Rohani cares about human rights issues"  "French CEOs in Iran" "It feels like we're at Orange!" Orange, formerly France Télécom, a major international telecoms corporation based in France, has been hit by a spate of suicides some time ago, due to its lovely managing practices or so I hear.  "Should we strip refugees from their golden teeth?" "We'll hand them back when you leave". A reference to the Danish confiscation policy. So there you have it. I could have posted more but this post is already bloated enough.

Encrypt it using AES (that is a industrial strong encryptation standard). Gets the result (that is binary, so would corrupt if normally posted in a text service like a forum). Then print the result in a number base where instead of numbers 0,1,3... you have words. To decrypt it takes these words and generate the original binary. Then feed the AES algorythm with this binary (and the password), and you get the original plaintext. Google made the original library to encrypt / decrypt AES that I use here. So you can get betrayed by google by making this library weak on purpose. But the real feature of this is not to hide text, but to obfuscate against a algorithm searching for keywords.

I feel like Stantis and Allie will be secretly overjoyed by a Hillary presidency. Think of how much more mileage they'll be able to get out of this stupid Hunny Bunny poo poo.  1Rick McKee really hates Trump, which is funny because it's accompanied by not even an ounce of self-reflection about why Trump is so popular with people who share most of Rick McKee's views.  2 I do love his Angry Bernie though. 3 4 5  pretty sure only one OBAMA REGS is allowed on the field at a time 6  needs more Hitler 7 8 Guest author Michael Ramirez

Lester does realize that if you just put "free" on the tab with no price it makes it look like it doesn't cost anything right? Was Hillary buying everyone a "free beer" too complicated a metaphor?

I wonder if Lester is actually historically educated enough to know a presidential candidate offering free beer to supporters is literally the foundation of American democracy and didn't want to invoke someone that could tie them to that or if he's just hahahahaha who am I kidding he's an idiot who can't do metaphor.
