Israel feeds on the olive trees of the Palestinians, torn down by the bulldozers of the Israeli army; while Palestinians are reduced to forage for garbage. AGC, give this man a dozen Pulitzers.

Seriously though, it's worth a Gaybies nomination for least concealed racism.

Whyyyyyyyyyyy is Tinsley back?! The art's worse, the jokes're worse, the opinions are worse. Fishman was by no means perfect or even good but he managed a sensible chuckle at least once a week, as though he had some awareness this was in the funny pages next to Marmaduke....

Did Tinsley have a stroke, or is it just the effect of seeing his art after nearly a year of Fishman? It looks a bit worse.

Fuck the cowboys. Unf. Fuck em hard.

quote:

Dear Loyal, Patriot Readers,

Throughout my esteemed career, I have avoided succumbing to the use of what I consider to be the greatest gimmick in all of cartooning: color. Color is the crutch of no-talent hacks, uninspired wannabes, and artless sickos. Previously reserved for that desolate wasteland referred to with unintentional irony as “the Sunday Funnies,” color has spent the past decades seeping further into every section of our beloved newspapers, becoming a CMYK blot on journalistic integrity.

Sadly, the field of Editorial Cartooning has not been immune to this ostentatious scourge. Flim-flamming money-grubbers like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, peddling their gizmos, have brainwashed honest craftsmen into becoming rainbow-vomiting “content creators,” more dedicated to the “beeps” and “boops” of their computers than to sacred cartooning traditions and norms.

I have remained steadfast in my vow to banish not only hues, but also shades of gray from my work. My cartoons are a gift given selflessly to enlighten you to the way I see the world—in stark black-and-white terms…and drawings.

Thus, have I remained resolute…until this week. With a deadline looming and a cold whiskey sour in hand, I looked to the Heavens, as I often do, for inspiration. The vibrant, natural beauty and wonder of the skies adjacent to fire-ravaged landscapes was clearly a sign from beyond that the jubilant season of scarves and jack-’o’-lanterns was upon us.

It was then I knew I must heed the call to echo the expression of the divine in this week’s cartoon. And so, I bestow upon you glorious, life-affirming, freedom-loving ORANGE (0C 50M 100Y 0K)!

Fear not, I have not forsaken my oath, merely provided the exception that proves the rule: Cartoons with color are not worth the newsprint they’re printed on. Except this week.

God bless,
Kelly

Michael Crichton wrote a novel called State of Fear where extreme environmentalists deliberately cause natural disasters to make people think climate change is real. Now it seems every conservative thinks the West Coast is burning down because of Antifa arsonists, not the hot dry weather exacerbated by climate change.

I reread Jurassic Park recently and Crichton's politics were kind of reactionary and lovely, huh?

e: or, also super possible, that legion of retired people who are the only reason newspapers exist anyway actually noticed their right wing cartoonist was getting all liberal and started complaining, which would explain some of the more recent humdingers from fishman and how tinsley got reinstatted and now doesn't give even a fraction of a poo poo about his product

God that book was garbage. Assassins who drove around in a Prius (which was the only time you saw them so it was their only defining feature), using a rare octopus in a plastic bag to attack people (rather than just inject them with a needle or something). The eco-terrorists have a bunch of plans that have nothing do with global warming such as using earthquake tidal waves to flood California DURING A CLIMATE CONFERENCE (potentially killing all their donors/ally/boss who knows everything). The super smart/cool agent (author insert!) constantly dunking on the Hollywood liberal movie star, until the star is torn apart and eaten by cannibals. Oh, the earthquake machines are just normal drilling equipment that the terrorists rented.

Yep, he called for economic war with Japan in one book, just before their economic crash. And he named a pedophile character after a guy who gave him a bad review.

Dear political cartoonists: Our country (The United States Of America) only looks okay in its current visual orientation. Do not in any circumstance portray it in different orientations, mirrored, etc. To do so breaks the illusion and reveals the true nature of our country: weird, repulsive, and fat.
