That fictional characters can be anything and therefore people who get bent out of shape over a black James Bond are just projecting their own poo poo onto the characters. Unless this is really supposed to be a  thing and because she's a girl, drawing her as anything else is just silly.

It's not an either / or thing. But this is about the level of analysis and depth I expect for these types of people so it's realistic I guess.

Its disingenuous to act like a fictional character's gender, race, etc. can be anything. In many cases that is true but some characters are written in such a way that the narrative wouldn't work if you changed those aspects. If Carmen's status as a young black women ever came into play, which it should in a political comic, then that would be the case in Prickly City. But Stantis is a hack that just has her regurgitate conservative talking points so there's no meaningful difference between her and a 70 year old white male republican. I doubt the gender/race of the Doctor in Dr. Who matters (I don't know enough about it) but its kind of funny that Stantis thinks his political mouthpiece can be whatever he wants. It reflects how little thought he's put into his work and how it appears.

Unless this is really supposed to be a Stantis is a coward who can only discuss the most agreeable liberal poo poo. When it comes to the disaster of the Trump he just makes vague doom and gloom notions or does the obnoxious "Trump is so rude!" line conservatives like to play in order to appear reasonable.

Honestly one Doctor Who cartoon would have been acceptable. Dragging it into a second with the same premise only draws attention as to why this comic is suddenly caring about British sci-fi instead of literally anything to do with current US politics.

Unless this is really supposed to be a Well Prickly City is veering close to the lovely white guy version of that idea: "characters don't have to be white guys, they could be bananas or beach balls or pencils or satellite dishes, or hell, even a women!" Being a woman, or black, should not seem like crazy random bullshit. Prickly City also is trash because it has a black girl as a main character, but never has to examine what it means to be a black girl in America because all the other characters are talking animals. It's not really feminist, it's just colorblind lukewarm liberal, which is a moral accomplishment for Prickly City I guess.

Why aren't geneticists solving global warming right now?  Starving Wolf posted:Oh boy, gang, it's time to spin the Wheel of Science to find out what we're all going to be working on this month. Gosh I hope it's something important this time and not pig farts again. This is basically how I thought it worked when I was a kid and thought it would be the best job in the world. Then I found out that you have to spend ten years in college, pick something absurdly specialized, and spend half your time writing grant proposals.

You know it occurs to me that a good cartoonist could take the "devil on one shoulder, angel on the other" cliche and make a decent statement on the "both sides are equally bad" thing.

Yeah they could design some sort of carbon-absorbing superbacteria that would breed quickly to undo the damage to the atmosphere and then keep on multiplying until it covers the entire surface and devours us all like a gigantic Blob.

frankenfreak posted:As if Trump knows the word "dodecahedron". The cartoon explicitly shows a google search for "many sides" just before, but I doubt Trump would extend that much effort anyway. e: the results I get for '"many sides" -trump' are 1, 2, 3. The word "dodecahedron" is not found on these. Cat Mattress fucked around with this message at 15:00 on Aug 15, 2017 |

Zelda once again presents: Tedious Dinner Party Theater. Honestly, I actually like talking about politics, current events, and social issues and I still have no idea how people put up with that kind of bullshit. Assholes treating normal conversation as an excuse to freak the gently caress out because the world is ending and this is a crisis and what are we going to do about it is the loving worst. I hope we're not supposed to think Tove is the smart, reasonable one here.

That famous opponent to slavery, General Lee. I shouldn't be surprised he'd be whitewashed. It reminds me of how some people try to paint Rommel as some sort of noble chivalrous figure who fate tragically put on the wrong side.

I'm surprised it's not a poorly drawn attempt at Heather Heyer with a caption saying she's the only person responsible for her death.
