There was a guy posted in the bad webcomic thread a while back, Ryan sohmer I think, who desperately wanted to work for marvel. He prided himself on never missing a deadline and churned out a number of comics that were semi competently drawn but with """jokes""" so terrible they were nearly incomprehensible.

Anyway point is neither Ryan or this dork really seem to understand what makes a comic good

It was funnier when considering that Sohmer doesn't do the art, he just writes. Which, not to harp on the eternal "who works hardest" conflict between comic writers and comic artists, but his webcomic was (is? the bad webcomics never die) a gag-a-day strip with a sitcom-like setting and only the most minor continuity, so yeah not exactly a shining resume. I don't even know if writing for Marvel or DC is a dream gig for people anymore, if you've been doing a webcomic for so long you could potentially be doing better money-wise than a regular for cape comics, and if you want the ~prestige~ you'd usually be better off trying to get published with an original graphic novel or something like that instead.

I mean my understanding is that centrists think that at least one person having ever said "defund the police" is a great scapegoat for them eating poo poo in the midterms because they have accomplished nothing and look like idiots, but conservatives have somehow convinced each other that it has already been fully realized, everywhere, in every major city

It’s partially the media—the headlines when places like Minneapolis and Seattle proposed budgets with massive cuts were in huge fonts and given breaking news treatment. The ultimate vetos or deaths in budgeting process or whatever were noted in short two sentence articles you had to be looking for


It’s partially that the commenters and politicians never bothered to correct them on the misconception because it motivates them and similarly the centrists aren’t trying to correct the record because they want defund as a scapegoat, so the only voices pointing out that defund never happened aren’t going to pierce the average conservative’s media bubble

It’s also what they already believed was happening anyway. So if you already think democrats are making cops go around with ever shrinking budgets then why would you question whether the trend continued another year?

in practical terms there is not a lot of difference there
e: in the sense that, the outcome will be a further rightward tilt from everyone in power and there will be greater police spending, whatever the letter after a politician's name is

The endgame is either leftist artists are smart enough to ignore his obvious bait so he can go "Heh, guess they're all just a bunch of cowards who know I'm better than them. :smug: ," or one of them is dumb enough to take him up on his challenge so he gets a platform to make himself more well known and can further spread his hateful poo poo. He sees either outcome as a win.

Well yeah, in terms of my original post, that's the motivation for the Powers That Be wanting them to think this, I just don't get the mechanism of how this message was delivered and why it worked because it seems completely out of nowhere and bewildering to me

HashtagGirlboss's claim that the teevee news were being sensationalist about it makes sense I guess, I just never saw or heard of any of this coverage myself until a Twitter chud stated flatly that we were a lawless chaos zone because all the police had been defunded


would this make any sense if I were following the stupid canadian covid thing or

My guess is that his particular flavor of nazi isn't used to having people with any amount of talent at all give them the time of day, and so they just spent months and months telling this guy he was the modern Da Vinci and he just believes it now (because he also isn't used to people saying nice things about him, he gives me that vibe)

I'd certainly rather look at a Lubchansky 9 times out of 10 but I really hope Lubchansky doesn't waste their time on this bozo

he's not good at extremely basic things like perspective and maintaining consistent proportions in his art and covers for this with stylistic techniques provided by software

Blue Democrat Cities defunded the police and that's why they're crime-stricken hellholes with riots on every block - even more than they already were. this is the narrative. i don't know how you didn't know this

I think -- THINK -- suit guy is Trudeau, and the spilled milk represents 'negligible but hyped/dramaticized outcome of his border vaccination policy mistake', i.e. the trucker stuff. Communists then funded and propagated a disproportionate media backlash against truckers because... it can't just be that people were annoyed at the dumb blockade poo poo. Maybe. It's garbage.
