Huh, I havent worked in an office with computers since ~2009 so my idea of 'worksafe' was still just making sure coworkers couldnt see what disgusting filth you're looking at with a casual glance over your shoulder

Was trying to do an edit changing Trump to one of his Hillaries and the text to "BENGHAZI, BENGHAZI, BENGHAZI" on the left and "EMAILS, EMAILS, EMAILS" on the right, but Photoshop is freezing randomly with my new graphics card, so... pretend I did that.

Also, this guy seems really young, long-haired, and, uh... "ethnically named" to be doing the Branco-Lester, "hate-filled old man" routine.

Holy poo poo, that Michelle.

Guess you're never too young for that sweet, sweet Some Gizmo Money.

And it looks like's he's gunning for the "laziest" gaybie!

I'm pretty sure all of these are plagiarized from other cartoons already seen in this thread. Wasn't it McCoy who did the news guy saying "Russia Russia Russia!" then "Nazis Nazis Nazis!"?

Stephen Miller (and I do like that Stephen Miller caricature, even if it looks a bit Putin-ish) may have helped Trump write a letter explaining his reasoning behind firing Comey.

This is such an old joke that editors should reject it outright.

When Family Circus is making the same "joke," your take is officially so cold it has freezer burn.

I don't even think it even counts as a political cartoon. It's so tepid and inoffensive you could fine it on Hallmark cards.

I'd bet good money that every one of these hacks and any old poo poo who complains about "kids don't know how to use books these days" is a loving idiot who probably doesn't read almost ever.

I use fancy-rear end pens to write and I have extremely clear handwriting (unlike the "artist").

gently caress the old people's obsession with handwriting it's dumb. They give kids lovely pens and then teach them wrong and don't actually care about handwriting worth half a flipping poo poo. It's the antithesis to preserving the art - though that's not exactly a problem, since handwriting is thriving because people just find they like it. For jotting down quick notes, pretty much any writing will do - though legibility is key. For longer bits, keyboards have been around for longer than any of these fucks. If you want to write with beautiful cursive script, that takes a *fuckton* of practice. And something better than a Bic Cristal. Classic as it might be, it's very much a "quick notes" pen.

I do know my way around a word processor and have hand-restored used modern technology to upgrade a typewriter older than I am, so it's not like I use a fancy pen because I don't have options - I do it because a fountain pen, unlike a ballpoint or a keyboard, doesn't struggle against me. Ballpoints require way too much work to keep your hands and arms okay. And keyboards don't let you flit around multiple notebooks as you go.

Get off my goddamn lawn you good-for-nothing hacks. :argh:

It's deviantart. If they can handle peoples photomanips of celebrities to make them fat, skinny, blue, whatever, then they can handle a dead gay forum hotlinking.

Is there any kid in the world who has the capability to read and yet would not understand the concept of a book? It's a physical object. Within mere seconds of having it in hand, any kid would realize it can be opened and words are written on the inside. A book is just about the most user-friendly thing in the world.

That's what gets me. It's not just a lovely hackneyed joke, it's a lovely hackneyed joke that doesn't even have a basis in reality.

Edit: oh my god I just noticed that it has Space Invaders on the TV. Yes, our youth is illiterate because they are playing too much of loving Space Invaders on the Ecksbox, truly this is the downfall of society.

Seriously. I even write my shopping list with a pad and pencil and cross off items as I find them in store. It's incredibly satisfying and easier to me.

Can I makes notes on my phone instead? Sure, but ehhhh :shrug:

This one makes me a bit uncomfortable because while I can't remember ever doing this, I'm pretty sure younger me would do it all the time. Also, my niece started getting interested in games a couple years ago, but her brother and the boys in her class made her turn away from it real quick.

Even the SNES days you could play 2-player by assigning specific characters in combat to the second controller. It's not the most satisfying kind of co-op but it's better than just watching... in theory.
