what the gently caress is the intended visual metaphor here

Is it that the lie was superfluous and actually made him look bad? That's my best guess, but then there's the water label and gah, I dunno

e: I am also not comfortable with the facial expression on the duck and that hand grip on its neck.

Serious question: isn't Rall currently employed by a russian propaganda site, or am i mixing it up?

Yeah I vaguely remember him drawing some comics commissioned by a Russian media firm. It was long before the election too.

Given the general tone and quality of your average Rall cartoon, it would not at all surprise me if I were to learn he is one of those people who refers to themselves as 'Putinist'. It makes even more sense when taking into account his failure to actually regard left-wing values for the sake of regurgitating a moron's understanding of anti-imperialism.

Sputnik News, which is an out-and-out foreign-facing propaganda org. If there was ever any question what Rall was, that should answer it.

Huh, an Anti-Flynn cartoon from Ramirez. Wasn't expecting that. I think he really does hate Trump, wonder if that'll last?

Also, India's space program fills me with hope. :unsmith:

I agree, mike. Everyone should be able to wear whatever they want, including burqas when hijabs are much more fashionable.

New York Fashion Week is going on right now. Anniesa Hasibuan is there showing her second collection. All of her models are immigrants or second-generation children of immigrants; all of her outfits feature hijabs.

It's just a "thing happened" cartoon, mixed with Lester's unique cocktail of misogyny and racism.

Edit: For reference, he's also conflating burqas with things like this:

Lester thinks he's being very clever by saying that those loony libs who CLAIM to support women's rights to self-determination and equality are now going ga-ga for oppression clothes !!

Which, to people unwilling to understand poo poo about dick, is really raking those hypocrites over the coals

Way to immediately turn this around into whining white dudes and no-true-leftist. Is it wrong to worry about class solidarity dropping out of the political left's platform? You may recall there were some nasty fights within the Democratic party just recently about class messages versus identity messages.

It should hardly need to be said, but class solidarity has never actually been part of liberalism's platform (well, a cynic might argue that is only partially true, and liberalism is good for upper class solidarity), while it remains an important part of the platform of the socialist left. You might regard this as "no-true-leftists" but socialism & liberalism have always been quite conflicting ideologies.

So that expression in the middle. That face. What emotion is that supposed to be conveying? It's like he just threw eyebrows into the duck's eyes. I can't fathom what that face means. Isn't making clear, expressive faces supposed to be a cornerstone of cartooning?
