Like... the only explanation for a human being arriving at that drawing style/font is that he got told at some point that it's important for a cartoonist to have a visually distinct style, so that anyone looking at your cartoon will instantly know you're the one who drew it, and he took the absolute worst approach to it.

NRVNQSR posted:Most of these are pretty obvious, but I'm unclear on the baby-eater in the gold helmet and the giant translucent gelatinous thing that's mostly out of frame. The baby-eater in the helmet is from Hieronymus Bosch's depiction of Hell; the translucent gelatinous thing is Ian Flation, or Rowson's depiction of inflation that's been in a few of the recent cartoons.

I think it’s a generic father’s day joke that you’re reading way too deeply. Fishman can actually produce a decent (for newspaper comics) gag unlike Tinsley who usually couldn’t resist sticking a dumb political message or personal pet peeve into it. Or schmaltzy generic “I love my dad” cartoon.

 Context: Norwegian prisons for women are worse than they are for men and nobody cares. One of the reason could be that it is just too few female inmates (173 in total) for them to apply pressure on the government.

What I’m saying is that these comics are laughably out of date as the boomers who refuse to retire keep drawing. Meanwhile the great grandson of his family’s 1920s legacy comic, who has had its protagonist go from an extinct generation that predates the Silent Generation so I can’t even get an agreed upon name for it (GI Generation? Lost Generation? I thought Greatest Generation was reserved for WWII vets. Also the word generation looks weird to you now) is now a millennial, finds these Boomers to be weak.

Pants Donkey posted:The youngest millennials are in their mid-20s, and the oldest are pushing 40. Boomers are probably all in their 60s now? Since boomers started in 46, that puts the oldest ones at 76. Depending on how you define the end of that generation, the youngest would be from 58 to 62. And the bulk of them would be in or around their 70s. The dumb thing about pointing to specific dates for start and stop is that so much of it is cultural commonality. By some definitions I count as a boomer, but by others I'm Gen X or Generation Jones (kind of a mini Gen between boomer and X). I have a friend who is six months older than me, but is definitely a boomer in tastes. Probably because his parents were Greatest while mine were Silent, and so he got a lot of cultural exposure from his older siblings. I have a lot more in common with X or Jones. And yes, by and large, boomers suck. So may went from counterculture hippies to the very establishment they despised back then. And like pretty much every generation, they have to die off before passing on the reins of power. They're just living longer than prior ones. Tl, dr:

The Patriarchy and toxic masculinity as a whole are harmful to men as well as women, AGC Also, Winslow's family are supposed to be the crazy ultra-libs who do silly things like support their trans kid and play marxist monopoly, his father would wholly agree with the message, and may have taught it to Winslow in the first place. Carmen can paint her own drat rock if she doesn't like it.

 Rowe:  On the energy crisis, Anthony Albanese with energy minister Chris Bowen, with opposition leader Peter Dutton and shadow treasurer Angus Taylor at the window. Broelman:  They held the Logie awards for Australian television last night. Anthony Albanese urged to stop Julian Assange ‘madness’ (news.com.au). Badiucao:  Knight:  Spooner:  Peter Dutton repeated that Chris Bowen is a "bunny in the headlights" when it comes to solving the energy crisis which I guess is now shown to be a line that works with someone.

Wikipedia posted:The set had rules for two different games, anti-monopolist and Monopolist. The anti-monopolist rules reward all during wealth creation while the monopolist rules had the goal of forming monopolies and forcing opponents out of the game.[3] A win in the anti-monopolist or Single Tax version (later called "Prosperity"), was when the player having the lowest monetary amount has doubled his original stake.
