Varvel can still gently caress himself forever, but it is a pretty apt character to use as a conservative mouthpiece.
I've been saying for years that right-wing gun nuts all think they're Ralphie in the daydream where he singlehandedly fights off a team of burglars with his BB gun while the rest of his family cowers helplessly, begging him to be the hero and save them.

Yeah, on reflection, you're right on the money. We already know how this sad tale will end, he'll accidentally shoot his mother (or daughter or wife in the real-life cases) because she went to the washroom late at night and he thought she was a burglar.

KIIIRRRYYYUUUUU CHAAAANNNNNN

quote:

LET THE FREE BIRD SING!
“Amnesty begins next week. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” said Elon Musk in response to his poll on bringing back suspended conservative accounts.

Elon Musk seems to have made good on his promise of free speech on Twitter by not only reinstating President Trump’s Twitter account, but giving thousands of MAGA and conservatives their free speech back too.

Elon even sassed the ghoul running the ADL:


We know all about the ADL and defamation, but that’s a story for another day.

It remains to be seen if true free speech will be allowed on Twitter, we are skeptical but so far Elon seems to be talking the talk and walking the walk while trolling AOC and making Twitter fun again. The proof will be in the coming weeks and we will be watching. Of course it would help if Elon restores our GrrrGraphics Twitter account, @grrrgraphics, created in 2010 with our 300K followers, that would make a believer out of me.

GrrrGraphics was suspended for questioning the stolen 2020 election. CNN hack and failed political cartoonist Jake Yapper, er, Jake Tapper even celebrated our accounts suspension with a gloating tweet:


To quote Joe Pesci in the classic “My Cousin Vinny”:



We will keep our eye on the “birdie” this week and see how Musk follows through with his promise of reinstating MAGA voices on Twitter.

I think the fact that Leak can produce competent art somehow makes his actual cartoons output more offensive. Who was the other conservative politoonist who was a quite skilled conventional painter?

Wait a moment, doesn't Leak hate Abbot and his party? Or am I thinking of some of other cartoonist?

If I'm right, why have him paint it? Are there other painters in Australia they could commission?

Rall: Nice Idea, but How Does It Help Climate Change?

Ted Rall posted:

The COP27 climate change conference was supposed to come up with concrete solutions to global warming. Instead, developing nations shook down wealthy nations for compensation on the basis that the countries that contribute to climate change should pay for the damage to the developing world. All well and good, but how does this reverse climate change?

You're either thinking of another cartoonist or another party, Johannes Leak has spoken at CPAC Australia.

As for why him, while Johannes Leak is a decent enough good painter and illustrator Tony Abbott almost certainly picked him because he's Leak 2.0.
