I'm near 100% certain that when that Branco STD cartoon got posted here for the first time someone who used to date Branco in college or something came in and confirmed he was a gigantic misogynistic piece of poo poo and that's why she dumped him.

The way I remember it he was dating someone's mom and was dumped for being a combination jerk slash creep

These "The Democrats aren't resisting HARD enough!" cartoons are extra obnoxious when you remember that before the elections Rall made several "eh, Trump doesn't seem that bad" cartoons.

Rall sucks extra hard because I'm willing to bet money that he wasn't at a single protest this entire administration so far. Him hectoring from the side is the most annoying poo poo. I honestly can take the hateful GOP poo poo over him.

That stuff is awful and hateful, but this high horse ~hmmmm libs aren't fighting hard enough~ poo poo from a dork who does nothing but fart out awful cartoons that no one cares about is the most irritating poo poo.

Agreed. Rall strikes me as the sort who complains about organized protests not being "real protests" - which can perhaps be a valid complaint but would ignore the spontaneous demonstrations that have also occurred - while simultaneously not actually doing anything to organize people to further his political ideology. At which point all you're doing is bitching.

With guys like Lester, the McCoys and Asay, they're all loving monsters but at least they have beliefs and ideals they cling to. Rall does NOTHING but bitch and moan about how the current situation is pointless and wrong because HE isn't in charge. I bet you a million bucks if some Conservative/Alt-Right site offered him enough money Rall would become Trump's #1 fan. He has no real political opinions other than "Hmmmm how does this benefit Ted Rall?"

Lester is fairly petty, true, remember when Lester drew Obama with a rainbow tie for years? But I'm not sure if I'd call Lester as malicious as Branco. Lester does seem able to restrain his hate a bit, or at least make his hate seem goofy at time, like the Chick-Fil-A comic with the gay chickens. It's a stupid and hateful opinion but it's presented in a silly way. Branco doesn't seem like he's capable of doing anything but drawing men with hairy legs in dresses.

Lester's brand of pettiness is the kind that comes from not being punched in the face enough.

Seriously, all of his "work" has a vibe of "Nya nya, I'm not touching you." of someone who goes through life knowing that technically no one can do anything about it.
So basically, he's a lovely little internet troll.

Not that this is anything new. For all of the talk he and his ilk put out about how "Snowflakes need to learn to toughen up and take their lumps like a real man", he would be one of the first ones to cry foul when someone applies it to him.

You know how some cartoons are so hideously bad that they make all the major news outlet? That Branco one about Obamacare causing STDs did because of how dumb it is.

Other cartoons I remember being major news because of how bad they were:



The NY Post had no problem showing this and defended Delonas over it.



Yeah, this is a bad one. Pretty sure Lester got in trouble for it.



Man, conservatives hated Sandra Fluke. Gary edited it to no longer label her as Fluke. And this isn't even getting into the crap Rush Limbaugh said.



This is probably the worst. A lot of people were rightfully upset that Michelle was portrayed as a man.



Wait no, this is the worst one.

Yeah there are a few "artists" that measure success by how upset they think "Libtards" get. Tinsley very much considers any and all attention pure validation. Lester and the Idiots McCoy fully wet themselves drawing each cartoon thinking some Liberal is having a heart attack, I'm sure they actually think even Obama is up nights thinking about them. You can tell this by the little touches: snot bubbles on crying Dems, stink lines, petty childish bullshit that they really, really think will "get" them. basically if they're illustrating 4th grade taunts and calling it a political cartoon they are this kind of "need a punch" douche.

Hope N Change is dead. With Obama out of office, Jarlsberg has archived the past eight years of "political cartoons" by which I mean "photoshop filters over photos with childish word balloons."

Say hello to Stilton's Place, where Trump still can't catch a break because hahaha he really is doing that poo poo of a job.

1
Jarls is not pleased with Trump's decision to give up an let Obamacare fail. Sadly this is not because of how transparent Republicans are in their hatred for the poor and other marginalized groups, but because of some conspiracy theory that Democrats totally intended Obamacare to fail. That's right: forget Republican obstructionism and lovely blue dogs watering down the ACA, it was all part of Obama's plan to implement SINGLE PAYER CARE once Obamacare went up in smoke! This is absolutely true and not the frenzied thoughts of a man irreparably poisoned by right-wing propaganda!

2
He still has an unhealthy fixation on this stock photo model.

3
This is a good example of the privilege of the wealthy, but not in the way he thinks.

4
He seriously thinks Trump is on to something regarding wiretapping.

Because a woman who has lots of sex is a "slut" while a man who has lots of sex is a "player". Come on, it's only like the classic textbook example of a double standard.
