Bringing you Barry from the sordid depths of the Internet

While the worst cartoons seem to always come from conservatives, I'm wondering about the flipside.

Are there any hilariously bad liberal cartoonists on the level of Ted Rall or Ben Garrison?

I'm looking for you but other than Rall I'm not really finding anything worth posting. Generally the worst that I've lucked into finding are either DASGDC or really milquetoast like this one
.

I could post the comic defending neckbeards, would that count?

Two updates from Canada's frozen hell island.


Gerry Rogers, leader of the provincial NDP surprised everyone with her announcement that she is stepping down as the party leader. Did some asking around and it seems this was not a surprise to a lot of people who knew Gerry, it was just the timing of the announcement that was surprising.


The island has been hit with a string of backhoe related thefts. A lot of the backhoes in the province use a master key setup so people have started to steal them and drive them into grocery stores to steal ATMs.

2024 read-along: The Therapist

Wowie he almost took responsibility for his failed relationship for a second before out of nowhere blaming his parents for no reason (despite the fact that if it was their fault and he was "repeating history" or whatever they would have been divorced 30 or 38 times too). I dont see the point of sex/relationships being so focal to the story here seemingly, there is no taboo against having sex or even being in a loving meaningful relationship so him wanting to do that isnt any sort of wrong think or illegal or anything, he just isnt doing it while claiming he wants to but blaming society and his parents for why he hasn't. Some aspects of his character in theory should make him vaguely sympathetic but everything about the execution just makes him seem boring and lovely and pretentious.

Also rall keeps doing this thing in the top right of the second page where i guess the top dots are supposed to be eyebrows but it just looks like characters are constantly shedding a single tear like the statue of liberty in a loving kelly comic. It makes it a much more fun read tbh

With a thread full of cartoonist with heinous opinions I don't know why corny conservative grandpa JRRose makes me so goddamn angry. Maybe it has to do with knowing he holds the same heinous opinions as a Lester or McCoy but he hides it with lame jokes and "a thing happened" cartoons.

For me it's his "aw gee shucks!" Attitude towards truly heinous opinions. If he was really, honestly middle of the road (or essentially apolitical) I probably wouldn't mind him so much.

I like how the Noble Savage also hates sex and thinks women who have it are dirty sluts, undeserving of love. Because that's totally the natural belief of man in nature.

You weren't supposed to agree with the creepy abusive volcel guy who was so terrified of sex that he killed himself after an orgy.

John wasn't a noble savage, he represented our existing repressed society. He's the conservative whose reaction to totalitarian government that controls the people with drugs and sex and genetic engineering is to long for an imaginary perfect past that he thinks we can return to if we control the people with violence and fear instead.

CNN just gave a CEO whose possible entrance into the campaign was met with "seriously? gently caress off" from most quarters a 30 minute ad town hall meeting because of how centrist and reasonable he is. Ted Rall is a dipshit but this cartoon is spot on.

Bennett at his worst is just kind of bland and vacuous, reusing the same visual metaphors and saying little of substance, though with good art and composition.

Speaking of which, I came across this old Bennett on Twitter, not sure what it's about and there's no date:


I can't figure out what it related to, but it was published in the Christian Science Monitor on August 1st, 2001. it's in his Pulitzer prize gallery. Possibly related to an article about a child AIDS epidemic in Africa?

That's around the time that the Human Genome Project was getting "hey this is gonna be really interesting" press, but before the time when non-geneticists realized quite how complicated genetics is. I took this to be a "wow the future is going to be crazy" cartoon.

I would nominally agree with this but Rall works for Sputnik International so I know the actual point of this comic is "vote third party and flush your vote down the toilet for your idealogical purity."

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
Whatever he writes or says, we all know in our hearts that Rall will either vote for Schultz, or just not vote.

The Independent's cartoonist (Dave Brown?) gets point for adding the Corbyn tree, but the Times' cartoonist (Peter Brookes?) has better caricatures: at least his Chuka Umunna doesn't look like an Obama.

It's happened before (30 or 40 years ago?) when the SDLP or whatever the hell they ended up called formed. The UK has a deliberately rigged system (like so many democracies) which only lets two parties survive long term. On top of that the current climate is horrendously polarised, these centerist folk don't stand a snowballs chance in hell.

So that said, I'd give the nod to the Times one.
