For a while I was wondering if there was anything in this cartoon to represent Oroville, published well before its impending destruction. Then it dawned on me, and I see Mr. Ben Garrison is indeed a far more prescient cartoonist than we have given him credit for. Thank you, in advance, for illustrating what that city truly is: an old grey cat in the process of pissing itself to death.

Is there something I'm missing about the magical moon beams? Also, lol at the conspiracy theory of Mexico trying to retake their old territory. Pretty sure that's from Enemies Foreign and Domestic?

We have always been at war with Oceania. Capfalcon posted:Is there something I'm missing about the magical moon beams? He mentions it in his rant, but current Gov. Jerry Brown was known as "Moonbeam" when he was governor before, in the '70s. quote:The nickname was coined by Mike Royko, the famed Chicago columnist, who in 1976 said that Mr. Brown appeared to be attracting “the moonbeam vote,” which in Chicago political parlance meant young, idealistic and nontraditional.

I choose to read that Garrison as a conspiracy theory that Jerry Brown is using Moon Magic™ to transform all the refugees, undocumented immigrants, and other assorted poors into cats, then ???, then profit. e; it's also really weird how Brown's head is on California, which is then attached to another, separate, body that it seems to be controlling like some kind of state-shaped parasite.

There's so many bills, implying, erroneously, that California owes money (to the rest of the country/fed, I guess?), but also the cats are clearly bringing in lots of their own money, which can go towards the bills. No need to worry.

I'm loving the talib beards on the Islamocats. EDIT: I think on Welfare Cat he slipped off the "immigrant" topic slightly in favor of other stereotypes. EDIT2: I'm the glowering cat with serape and sombrero atop the bookshelf looking awesome. If there's a Nazi re-vamp of this comic, definitely post it.

I see Trump's morphed entirely into a skunk. Actually probably for the best because the old hybrid was hideous and made no sense in-universe. I do like that Prickly City's shifted entirely into an ongoing mental breakdown with bouts of attacking Trump. It's still bad, but it's better than what it was. Hopefully it keeps this up; one of the "exists solely to be a conservative balance to Doonesbury in newspapers" strips turning into a full-time attack on Trump is a concept that amuses me.

I agree, Tinsley, celebrities ranting nonsensically on topics they know nothing about should stay the gently caress out of politics. Reagan, Schwarzenegger, Trump, it really never ends well.
