I own the two first volumes but I stopped reading it soon afterwards. I had completely forgotten about it and seeing the new strips is like looking into a time capsule.

It's good to see the goal posts being shifted from "it's snowing somewhere, climate change isn't real" to "the weather isn't apocalyptic somewhere, climate change isn't real".

I wish Branco could just meet an actual climate scientist, and eat at his "house" over dinner. the joke here is that a climate scientist can't afford a house, and if they were in the business of scamming someone they would have picked literally any other industry besides science.

 Hillary just won't go away. Now she's subjecting us to her mewling about how unfair things were and how deplorable people were to her. She tells us that she didn't even bother writing her concession speech. As if she ever wrote anything. She pays scriptwriters for that. Now another writer has ghostwritten her latest book in which she blames everyone but herself. She even blames Bernie Sanders, from whom she stole the primaries. Sanders, being the politically correct wimp that he is, even supported the thieving witch, but Hillary blamed him regardless. She blamed Trump for annoying her at one of the debates. He came too close to Her Majesty and she wished she had told him to 'Back up, you creep!' She probably wanted to say worse—and she did say worse to the Secret Service agents who protected her. What an inconvenience it must have been for her to actually have to spend her valuable time to debate Trump. Oh sure, she made sure she got the questions provided to her in advance, but she still had to go through the motions and debate Trump. What an aggravation! Apparently she wanted the Presidency handed to her by default. She said she was 'gobsmacked' when Americans had the nerve to reject her. The problem is, she won't shut her gob now. In addition, the Hildebeast predictably blamed 'sexism' and 'misogyny' for her loss. She complained Americans were too backward to want a female commander in chief. Wrong. Americans simply didn't want YOU, Hillary. We're sick of your lies, your alignment with the deep state and the central bankers who paid you many millions of dollars for a short speech. We're sick of your contemptuous sense of entitlement, and your long list of crimes that you have gotten away with just because the Illuminati has your back. Hillary also got away with operating an unprotected private server for her pay-for-play schemes. She obstructed justice by deleting thousands of emails to cover up her crime. Then she lied about doing it. She bleached her sever to hide evidence. The Clintons amassed a $240 million fortune according to Forbes. By doing what? What business did they have? Their business was to rip off America. Hillary in particular has always been a money grubber. That's why she's now asking over $2,000 for a personal 'meet and greet' during her book tour. The Clintons love making money by gaming the system. They use their political connections to sell out America for profit. Remember Bill pardoning the billionaire Marc Rich? In return, a hefty sum was donated to The Clinton Foundation, which is nothing but a money laundering operation. It makes it easier for them to cook the books. The Clintons used their foundation as a filter to siphon off aid meant for Haiti earthquake victims. The Clintons are immoral grifters and an insult to America. They've left a very long trail of dead bodies. Seth Rich released info about the DNC corruption and rigging to WikiLeaks. He was murdered as a result. Prosecutors and investigators also have a habit of washing up dead. Hillary enjoyed the rabid support of the mainstream media who raved about her being a historic and extremely experienced candidate. They dragged Trump through the mud for her at ever turn. The DNC rigged her nomination and she spent over a billion dollars on her campaign. The debates with Trump were rigged in her favor. She was up against a man with no political experience. She still lost because too many Americans are fed up with the Clintons. They can't stand Hillary and the system that rigged everything in her favor. History needs to slam the book shut on the Clintons. —Ben Garrison

Somebody mentioned the Challenger disaster so I looked for comics after that in the Reno Gazette-Journal A thing happened  Feb 2 1986 Reno Gazette-Journal Reagan maybe?  Feb 1 1986 Reno Gazette-Journal Jeff MacNelly was the creator of the comic Shoe, he was also one of the more popular editorial cartoonists in the late 20th century. He died in 2000.  May 5 1986 Reno Gazette-Journal This is about Tennesse v. Garner where the supreme court ruled police can't use deadly force on a fleeing suspect without probable cause that they will hurt somebody.  April 4 1985 Reno Gazette-Journal Yeah the quality of the four horsemen turned to poo poo after replacing death with ignorance.  April 4 1986 Reno Gazette Journal People bowing is serious business  April 16 1986 I really have no idea  February 2 1986 Reno Gazette-Journal This is some guy named Gorrell. You've probably never heard of him.  October 6 1986 Reno Gazette-Journal I'm gonna be honest, if the signature wasn't exactly the same I would have never guessed it was the same artist.  Jan 29 1986 Reno Gazette-Journal This is just something I thought was funny. Imagine the conspiracy theories if this was a democrat.

It's kind of like employees not getting to eat food that would otherwise be thrown away. Except that 99% of the people are just trying to survive and it's much harder to fake a hurricane then it is to say oh this sandwich is garbage.

More '80s Gorrell.  Allan Holtz, comic strip historian posted:In the 1980s, when editorial cartoonists all seem to have gotten the same idea at the same time to branch out into comic strips, Bob Gorrell and Gary Brookins took their turn up at the plate. As editorial cartoonists for, respectively, the Richmond News-Leader and Richmond Times-Dispatch, this would seem like an unlikely alliance. However, the two Richmond papers were not actually rivals -- they were under the same ownership.

IndustrialApe posted:Yeah, that's where they went wrong. From a few pages back but gently caress it. PewDiePie and his ilk are the beneficiaries of a gold rush mentality. It's the same thing that happened in the dot-com boom: if you take the time to do due diligence about who you're hiring, then you risk losing them to someone who doesn't do due diligence. And do you really want to be known as the company that lost out on getting the next Bill Gates or Steve Jobs on your payroll because you did paperwork while someone else just shoved a contract at them? Especially when you don't even understand what it is they do, but you know results when you see them. We are now seeing object lessons in why that whole "due diligence" thing came about.
