I guess Belarus has taken advantage of the situation and is staging its own invasion of the north, the situation is really escalating (all Ukraine's fault, of course, for wanting to defend itself)

Branco does have an artistic background. I can't judge this on its artistic merits, but at least this Branco painting has some effort put into it:  Of course the fact that he can produce stuff like this makes his daily output all the more infuriating.

It's not his normal fecal smear, but that's lovely van art at best. The more you look at it the more hosed up it gets, and some of the geometry is near-Rallian.

While it's lovely art, the actual countries are sorta-kinda the right shape, except that Ukraine is missing some territory occupied by Russia at the moment, and Russia either has a weird "object on a sphere" distortion going on, or they've had a large chunk taken out of them by... I unno, China?

Yeah the shape and position of the countries are (a) acceptable by political cartoon standards and (b) incredible by Ted "Non-euclidian" Rall standards But the status of crimea in his map is notable.

I can't immediately tell if he does cartoons for them directly (their site's very chaotic), but he's got regular articles for them instead.

The way Rall draws guns has led to me collecting examples, and while I'm very annoyed he doesn't seem to tag anything that would make this easier, it really is a funny reminder seeing the comments section confirm that for like 90% of the people listed here we're the only place on the internet that even knows they exist.

Oh geez, I didn't even realize that he had Russia and the Russia-occupied part of Ukraine as two separate countries. It doesn't help that he has the Azov Sea a lovely shade of brown instead of, y'know, blue. Then again, he also has the ocean as green with something written on it, so I should have realized.

At least when Ramirez fills his cartoons full of endless lovely details, they're not all the same. Who was that cartoonist the thread banned years and years ago because their art was just so hideous? Like he was trying to ape John Kricfalusi but all that meant was a tangled mass of limbs going in every direction e: Barry!

Rather than G it might be a smudgy C (because it's at the edge) and the partially visible letter maybe R, so it's a label for CRIMEA. Or maybe it's a hidden nod to GRRRRAPHICS?
