Sorry, I guess I wasn't laying it on thick enough because yeah, it absolutely reads as the USSR/Russia. If your Reagan memorial cartoon looks like it's celebrating or longing wistfully for the Evil Empire, no label is gonna salvage it.

Nihilarian posted:What the hell is this about? He can't be trying to say "we stopped Dems from voting ", right? He thinks he's saying "See? Democrat voters are illegal immigrants and stuff! We need voter ID laws to make sure only Real Americans (Defined as exclusively voting straight-ticket GOP) can vote!" but it looks for all the world like he's straight up admitting that the point is to disenfranchise the kinds of minority groups who typically vote Dem.

It wouldn't be the first time, I recall someone defending their voter ID laws as not racist because democrats aren't a protected class, and it wasn't their fault minorities disproportionately vote Democrat.

Yeah I'd probably have some respect for dumb "Obama did a thing" cartoons if they referenced some 16th century painting. Until that happens though...

Cat Mattress posted:He stands in for the maid sewing a layette. Sure, show the PM and his (then) presumed heir having a bath and nipple tweaks, but then take it up a notch. The 'pregnant with Brexit' is possible but this was way before the actual vote. It was on the distant horizon, but Boris hadn't picked a side yet. And he's expecting a lot from readers to not only recognize the painting but also know the context of when/why it was painted, apply it to contemporary events, as well as know his own backlog of cartoon symbols for people involved. From a neutral standpoint, this is an insane cartoon. nobodyssweetheart fucked around with this message at 06:26 on Jul 15, 2016 |

A better guess would be the string of sexual assault cases in Cologne, Germany, I think? This cartoon is so ambiguous.

Postal Parcel posted:Worst Cartoon about a Tragedy: Just so this isn't mistaken by any casual observers as some form of dark comedy highlighting the plight of African-Americans, it should be noted that Jarlsberg is very conservative, hostile to Black Lives Matter, and dismissive of their concerns. So there's really no way to take this other than as a celebration of Michael Brown's death.
