I used to read Prickly City and just roll my eyes but it's gotten so bad that I now need to skip it or become enraged by how terrible of a comic it is. It's so pretentious and faux avant-garde but hasn't managed to say or do anything remotely interesting in half a year at this point. Just like, do something visually, or take a stance of some kind. Any kind! There isn't even an opinion to agree or disagree with at this point, it's completely milquetoast. Even Loss was a better use of ink.

It's constant fall back to "why are people so rude?  " is incredibly banal and intentionally trying to distract from the legitimate reasons people have to be really, really angry. It's also more of the same politico nonsense where calling people intentionally doing terrible things mean names is the real problem. Why can't people be more civil in a situation where a bunch of guys are basically trying to engineer government policy to oppress and kill those they dislike?

Re: Prickly City, I stopped reading every update on it ages ago. I actually generally prefer Branco squirting his particular brand of bile to Stantis spending 6 months saying gently caress and all.

It's not exactly like Prickly City takes much time to read at least. I usually read it but I don't really enjoy the experience

I constantly heard ads for reagan.com on Limbaugh's show. I was like, "Why not the last true Republican president eisenhower.com?"

I very much enjoyed catching up on the weekend's cartoons, where vulgar racist scumbags Glenn McCoy and AF Branco got their knickers in a twist over a Colbert joke.

Never expected Drinky to make such an optimistic cartoon about college students.  1 2Even Rall's hideous art can't help but make charitable work of Steve Bannon's face.  3 4Despite the Boston accent, I like to think the blond guy is supposed to be Curt Schilling.  5 6

You understand that it's saying people who are demanding Anne Coulter be allowed to speak are also demanding Colbert apologize / be fired over his cock holster comments. In other words, their defense of free speech is only for when it spouts their views.
