...what the gently caress, McGovern?! I mean, gun control clearly was not a liberal litmus test in 1968 but I have a relatively positive opinion of ol' Acid, Amnesty, and Abortion and this surprises me.

I can't say what, specifically, McGovern's problem with that bill was, but I do know that in the 60's, gun control was tied up in race, since just about every gun control law on the books up to that point existed to keep guns out of the hands of black people specifically. So maybe that had something to do with it.

Didn't McGovern vote for Reagan

E: No I remembered wrong, he voted for Ford in '76. He voted for Carter in 1980

Wow:

quote:

MCGOVERN: I have to tell you something I've never said before publicly. I voted for him in 1976.

KING: What?

MCGOVERN: When he -- yes, I did. And at Thanksgiving dinner that year, I never said anything about this to Eleanor or to her five children. But I told them at Thanksgiving time I had voted for President Ford, even though he lost. And I told them why, because I thought he had come in at a difficult time. I didn't know President Carter very well then. And I just felt more comfortable somehow with Gerry Ford. Whereupon my wife Eleanor said, so did I vote for him.

We went around that table -- this is hard to believe -- all five of my kids voted for him. So they get seven votes out of the McGovern family for President Ford and Senator Dole, my long-time Republican friend.

I voted for Carter again in 1980. So with my brand of political luck, I voted against Carter when he won, I voted for him when he lost. But I can justify both of those votes.
Gotta admit I laughed at "with my brand of political luck", though.

And yeah, I guess it's probably just South Dakota plus Racism, but I... well, I'm young, you know? I just want to believe that people in the past had their poo poo more together in some ways, at least. More fool me.

Flowers are beautiful, and smell nice.
There were quite a number of people at the time who suspected Carter of being a kind of Trojan Horse for the evangelicals. There were a few people in my (Jewish) family whose votes lined up with the McGoverns. They warmed up to him considerably once he was in office and voted for him in 1980...just in time for the religious right's actual Trojan Horse to be elected into office instead.

One thing I'm noticing with his recent cartoons is an odd mix of his usual simple cartoony style (the guy on the left) and these much more realistic caricatures of celebrities (Trump).


Affordable care, the most terrifying specter.


He basically seems to be taking on all comers lately.


Unfortunately, I think this will wind up playing out very differently.




This might've been posted already, I think?


Here's the cartoony style I was talking about. This seems similar to what I have from him back around 2010.


But then you have comics like this, where he seems to be trying much harder.

Like, compare with some old work:




Anyway, in more recent news:



Another unusually detailed caricature.


Lok'tar ogar, Charlie.


This is where the caricatures get weird. So many faces drawn in slightly different styles. In fact, that Al Franken looks familiar:




And his Matt Lauer is another copy-paste.


Seems like he's more comfortable with his Trump and Moore caricatures now.

Wrapping up with a few more in his normal style.

Tax Reform has perished, while the Dems still exist. Both are focused only on their own welfare (because they're Marley and Scrooge) but Tax Reform laments that he didn't actually do any of the stuff was supposed to have done.

To Catalino "tax reform" isn't code for "trickle down", "tax reform" is code for "the plan the team currently with an 'R' after their name came up with". Part 2 is ignoring anything and everything about the story but what fits in a TV Guide blurb

That "odd mix" is almost certainly down to Catalino directly plagiarising other cartoonists. Unless I'm very much mistaken, that Trump head is by Delonas.

Hollywood Should Totally Make a Movie from my book “The Year of Loving Dangerously”
December 14, 2017
In 2009 I published “The Year of Loving Dangerously,” my graphic novel about my anni horribili, 1984-1985. I was expelled from college, fired from my job and evicted from my dorm — and dumped on the streets of Manhattan during a long hot summer in Reagan America. I discovered that sex wasn’t just my favorite thing, it was also good for finding a place to crash. Manslut – that was me.

Year was my first book collaboration. I wrote the text. Spanish artist Pablo G. Callejo, best known for “Bluesman,” did the artwork. The results were spectacular: Callejo is a genius and evoked 1980s New York like no one else could.

There was interest in turning Year into a movie. Also a TV show. You know how that goes. I think the time wasn’t right.

Now, however, everything is coming up 1980s. I keep thinking someone should make a movie or TV show out of it. Not because I want a movie or TV show, which of course I do, but because it was so loving cool and would make an awesome adaptation.’

So, smart Hollywood peeps, if you’re out there, here’s a few pages. If you want to see the whole thing, ping me by hitting the Contact tab on Rall.com.

and

However, your last two posts have included this cartoon three times.
Is there something you're trying to tell us? Incisive meta-commentary? A coded warning from the future, perhaps?
