Marlette's style is close to that of his late father, Doug Marlette, but a pale imitation, like Gary McCoy vs. Glenn. Doug (who died in 2007) was also a milquetoast liberal who drew for southern newspapers. When I expressed interest in cartooning as a kid my parents actually got me a book that he wrote; he was pretty much my first exposure to politoons.

My main beef with Andy Marlette is his pinprick pupils. I'm not sure how big you're supposed to draw pupils but it's sure as poo poo bigger than he does.

There is something very irritating about Andy's style to me. It's ugly but it seems like it doesn't have any reason to be. It just insists on being ugly, which is almost more off-putting than a more straightforward Joe Liccar or Clay Jones ugliness. (Branco manages to have both kinds of ugliness).

Anyway have some Marlette Sr. Toons:

As a liberal from Mississippi, he loved sticking it to racist old southern crackers. Jesse Helms was also a favorite of his.

Left to right: Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Joey, Rachel, Chandler.
He didn't handle 9/11 the best.

Overall, solid opinions, and art that was like his son's, but not lovely.

Correction: Andy is Doug's nephew, not son.

Anyway, for the OP:

Okay, but, like, why though?
Even ignoring that these are blatantly different people who would need severe nosejobs and even bone reconstruction, what's the motive? What does anyone gain from a hoax like this?

One "logical" explanation that I came up with was that to control the sheeple, they "kill" some celebrities every now and then, because people care about them and then they don't pay attention to the really hosed up poo poo that the Illuminati does.

So I'm finally catching up on politoons after the election and I see Todd Rule is upset the greater evil won? My, what a shame. If only they hadn't been equally bad.

The best part of Ted Rall's petulant pre-election day commentary was his desperate and pathetic attempt to get Trump's attention for his lovely cartoon biography.

Lame Duck Putz, Obama�s Legacy

Obama seems determined to restart the Cold War (or worse) in order to protect his lie that the Russians were responsible for Hillary�s loss. Wrong. Hillary was responsible. She is the one who set up an illegal server in the first place. Her drunken rage on election night only underscored her mean-spirited temperament. Being female wasn�t enough. Hillary also needed character and she repeatedly showed she had none. She was the very face of status quo corruption. She habitually lied while grubbing for money and power. People were fed up with her. Her mainstream media spewed constant lies about Trump, but their bias was too obvious. People tuned them out.

Hillary, Obama and their fake media propaganda arm known as the mainstream media concocted a whopper in order to preserve their credibility. Without any evidence, they insisted that the Russians were to blame. Obama is now attempting to force reality to jump to that false tune. He�s playing a dangerous game. We don�t need a reckless lame duck president triggering a war. Obama is dangerous narcissist and globalist puppet who cannot be shown the exit door soon enough.

He is a total conservative shithead who ignores facts and spits lies, but the Republican party seem to love Putin now, whether Russia interfered or not (they did). But he's a total right-wing whack job, so why suddenly is he saying Putin=bad. It drives me insane, this guy.

Obama: A man literally willing to begin nuclear Armageddon and doom the entire world, solely to back up his story on why another person from his party didn't win an election.
It must be comforting to live in a world where things are so black and white that all your political opponents are batshit insane supervillains who'll kill millions out of petty spite, on their way out.

What the absolute hell is Garrison talking about with Clinton's "drunken rage" on election night? I mean clearly he must have some source other than the fever dreams he has while masturbating to Trump, but what Mickey Mouse Infowars-Lite drivel is he drawing from here?

e: what must it be like to be Garrison, to be simultaneously elated yet frothingly enraged at winning but also the Liberals are melting the world down? What does a psyche that thoroughly corrupted to outright fascist doublethink even look like? More importantly, how does he fancy himself on the righteous powerful ultra-masculine side of history despite looking like Cowboy Milhouse? The man is so far gone from reality with none of Dees' mental illnesses that I'm almost amazed at how a mind like his came to be, a feeling of simultaneous amazement and schadenfreude, similar to feelings I get when I read news stories of men who get their dicks stuck in toasters.

Because once you start seeing a world in one way, it's hard to change it. Also because Dees thinks that Jews run the media and Hollywood is part of the media and Jews are bad.

Some of these theories are wildly ghoulish. There's one little bizarre adventure of a tale that claims that Bowie got plastic surgery because a bunch of people had figured out he was a serial killer. So he had the work done and faked his death and personally killed the doctor who did the job so nobody could figure out who he became. Then he stole the life of the guy whose face he impersonated and is now pretending to be him as he lays low. It's some odd poo poo.

Don't you remember Hillary saying that she wouldn't accept the results of the vote and that there would be riots if she lost? It happened at the same time Obama pulled that "mission accomplished" stunt on an aircraft carrier.

It is a right-wing meme that the reason HRC didn't give her concession speech until the morning after election night is that she spent the entire night whacked out on some type of drug and trying to strangle Podesta and Mook for ruining her. I don't know what the sources are, but yeah probably not anything reputable.

I'm a fan now. If First Dog doesn't add a horny kakapo to his menagerie I'm going to be disappointed.

If I remember my famous parrots correctly, Sirocco is also the head-shagging kakapo

Also isn't car insurance for like... accidents? An engine spontaneously catching fire with no other cars or obstacles around sounds more like a warranty issue. Am I perhaps overthinking this utterly poo poo cartoon?
