The main logo for the Bored Ape Yacht Club- that's the big NFT with all the celebrities- is pretty dead on a riff on circular Waffen SS Totenkopf patches, right down to the same specific number of teeth in the central skull icon (18, a known neonazi important number, denotes AH, short for Adolf Hitler).

Also the BAYC character generator is chock full of really awful racist stuff.

E: also there is no reason for a "yacht club" to have a white skull on a black background as its logo, that's not nautical at all

To expand on Pilchenstein's post, Ted Rall wrote an article in The Village Voice criticizing Art Spiegelman. From the Wikipedia entry on Maus:

quote:

In 1999, cartoonist Ted Rall had an article published in The Village Voice criticizing Spiegelman's prominence and influence in the New York cartooning community. Entitled "King Maus: Art Spiegelman Rules the World of Comix With Favors and Fear", it accused the Pulitzer board of opportunism in selecting Maus, which Rall deemed unworthy. Cartoonist Danny Hellman responded to the piece with a prank email in which Hellman posed as Rall, soliciting discussion at the email address TedRallsBalls@onelist.com. Hellman followed up by posting fake responses from New York magazine editors and art directors. Rall launched a lawsuit seeking damages of $1.5 million for libel, breach of privacy, and causing emotional distress. To raise funds to fight the suit, in 2001 Hellman had the Legal Action Comics anthology published, which included a back cover by Spiegelman in which he depicts Rall as a urinal.

Here's the urinal comic;

Choke on your own bile, Ted Rall.

Timg'd for huge.


Note that through the wiki article I was able to find an archived article from Jewish World Review that reacted to Rall's criticisms.It had some opinions from other artists on Rall and the whole debacle. Some choice quotes:

quote:

Jesse Fuchs: I'm no Spiegelman apologist, and I think Rall made some decent points; most of his New Yorker covers have been more style than substance, his Pulitzer, though gratifying for any comics fan, doesn't really mean a hell of a lot, and he is, like most underground cartoonists of his generation, rather self-obsessed. But the piece as a whole was so pissy and ill-considered that any worthwhile points Rall might have made ended up buried under a mountain of sour grapes.

Kaz: Ted Rall dissed me in a Comics Journal article about a year ago. Something about how alternative newspaper editors wouldn't publish his strip because they wanted strips like mine. Meanwhile Rall is in 140 newspapers and I'm in 13! When I called Rall on this (via e-mail) he apologized and whined about how he was never invited to any New York cartoonist parties or art shows.

The thing about people who themselves as "alternative" is that... they define themselves as alternative. They'll stick to being wrong \ contrarian even when the consensus happens to be right (or even when you happen to side with the consensus and their disagreement is inconvenient to you).

It's why labelling outcasts and freaks as likely criminals isn't just bias.

I mean, it pretty much is just bias, because a defining feature of that kind of labeling is that people so labeled will then see certain parts of life cut off to them on the expectation that they're going to be criminal or otherwise a problem. Shutting someone out of legitimacy means they'll be forced to seek the illegitimate.

AMERICA HANG ON AND FIGHT BACK!

Joe Biden’s first year in office was disastrous. He’s not even in office—he’s a fake president who speaks at a studio designed to look like the White House.

He doesn’t care that we know it’s fake. He doesn’t care that the US borders are wide open. He doesn’t care if we know he’s spending taxpayer money to fly illegal aliens (nearly all young males) to communities in red states. Many of them have criminal records.

This is an act of treason, but the Democrats are used to getting away with that.

I’ve listed all of Dementia Joe’s disasters before and won’t go into them again here, but this cartoon sums up the situation our country finds itself in after one year of his horrendous ‘leadership.’ I don’t see how we can survive three more years under Biden.

Something will have to give before our Republic is permanently sucked down the whirlpool of socialist tyranny, war, and impoverishment.

Dirty Joe was the recipient of a stolen election. We need to get the key swing states that had the most voter fraud to decertify the election and, after a proper recount, put President Trump back in his rightful place—the White House. This is not likely to happen. Even the crooked makers of the hacked voting machines refuse to cooperate.

Still, if nothing is done soon, the currents of corruption will become too swift and deep. Going with the flow could mean drowning in a river of totalitarianism. We must resist, but do we even have a paddle? Voting used to be that paddle, but if the elections are rigged, we can only hang on.

I for one will not go to a “concentration camp” for the unvaccinated. Many of us will fight back against any violence the Deep State probably has planned for us. We know Pedo Joe is a figurehead. He gets his marching orders from Obama. Hillary has long been in charge of Kamala. They in turn are run by the globalists from Davos.

Staying afloat for another three years under Biden is a difficult prospect, but all we can do now is hang on and fight back. People are indeed fighting back with the freedom convoy in Canada, let’s hope the freedom convoys spread across the world.

Let’s Go Brandon!

So what, big strong manly genius Trump has literally no power unless he's actively sitting in the most powerful office in the entire loving world? Like he doesn't even have any power or influence from when he was president?* He can't help? And he didn't get anything done while in office, either, and Garrison's whole angle at the time was "you need to re-elect Trump so he can do all those things he promised he would already have done by now. I was disappointed he didn't deliver, but that just means he needs even more time! Failure to make good on one's promise is a sign you should trust them more. THIS time he'll definitely do them."

Maybe he's too busy being "confused" about vaccines to help plucky little America out, but Ben forgave him for that pretty quick.

*This actually feels pretty true though. Trump, in so many ways that matter, feels like he just stopped existing when his term ended. He didn't leverage it into other political roles, his influence is largely "cultural" and most of his political sycophants are chasing his mantra and his goals, without caring at all about the man himself.
