He definitely does - his style is the grotesque hyper exaggeratedness. His subject matter and beliefs are terrible, but I've always thought he has a unique and distinct style, at least when portraying people he disagrees with.

The thread often shits on him saying "he doesn't know how to draw! His Obama looks like a worm!" But that's absolutely the point. His understanding of how his comics will look in print when he does a mass of crosshatching is also bad, but overall he has one of the better art styles of politoons. I'd just rather he not have The Worst Opinions to convey.

I don't know how you can look at a pile of unrecognizable cheek blob monsters and come to that conclusion.

This is actually perfect. Like, spot on.
Highly visible protests, like MLK's civil disobedience which famously blocked highways (Conservatives have a hard time remembering this fact so it's great to see McCoy giving it a nod), are designed to prevent access to a callous and willfully ignorant state of "normalcy". That's the entire point of such protest: to deny the unaffected and uncaring everyman the opportunity to ignore the suffering of his fellow man. By taking a knee during the anthem, their understated action has now gotten national attention, impossible to ignore any longer. Though so many would wish to turn a blind eye -- to say "it's not MY problem!" and drive on -- they are now, at long, long last, being confronted with the unavoidable truth. By inconveniencing the privileged white middle class enough to disrupt their daily schedule and prevent selfish normalcy, social traction can be gained.
This is the most AGC cartoon I've ever seen from McCoy. It's like he's perfectly hit on the soul of this kind of protest, but still thinks it's bad because at the end of the day he's still being slightly inconvenienced. (Except even less so because seeing someone kneel on TV for a few moments is even less intrusive than being blocked on a road).

While this poo poo isn't a politoon, it does give an insight into how casual racism is still pretty much accepted in Norway. This strip runs in the same paper as Zelda.



It did get some angry emails to the editor but nobody really cares.

Some people would find this funny, or horrible, or both, or neither.

Did you guys know being boiled in a comical pot like a joke from a 1952 tarzan parody is a fetish for some people.

I was a big Dallas Cowboys football fan when I was growing up. Probably because they were my Dad’s favorite team. When he decided to move our family back to Texas, I watched the Cowboys play every Sunday. I knew the names of all the players. Dad took me and my younger brother to a playoff game at Texas Stadium. He could only afford end zone seats, but we were thrilled just to be there. Roger Staubach tossed a long TD pass to Drew Pearson and he scored right in front of us. Dallas beat the Rams that day and I’ll never forget watching my favorite players in person. There were larger than life heroes to me.

The illusion of heroic NFL players has now been shattered. The spell has been broken. Sure, some good ones are still playing, but most strike me as rich, entitled showboating brats who take their fans and their country for granted. Last weekend was the final straw. I’m now boycotting the NFL.

The lefties that run Hollywood infused our movies with tiresome, rote political correctness. The left took over education and taught kids to obey big government while dumbing them down and telling them lies about US history. Feelings became more important than reason in colleges. The left controlled the mainstream media and the news narrative. Everything was increasingly slanted toward globalism and socialism. Not content with that, the left also attacked the NFL.

Football had to be controlled. Political correctness had to be injected into the sport. After all, strong men were showing too much assertiveness and aggression. Suddenly concussions became a worry. Rules proliferated. Players began wearing pink. Then the players began putting their emasculated weakness and ignorance on display by kneeling in front of our flag.

All we can do now is reject them.

It may be their ‘free speech,’ but we have free speech, too.

We need to speak out against the league and owners who are allowing the on the job protests to occur. We, the customers, our flag and country are being insulted. Our only recourse is to take our business and attention away from them.

We know that if any of us exercised our free speech at our own workplaces and began insulting customers, we would be fired. The same needs to happen in the NFL. They need to start firing players, but they probably won’t because apparently hating on President Trump is a priority in their business plan. So kneel away, you bums! I won’t be tuning in.

RIP, NFL.
