A... non-political comic from Ben? What?

quote:

RIP BURT BACHARACH
When I was 8 years old, my dad worked at a paper mill in Toledo, near the Oregon coast. We didn�t stay there long, but the town made quite an impression on me. During one summer�s day I remember a neighbor a few houses away kept blaring a song from his backyard. It was titled �What�s New Pussycat?� I didn�t know it at the time, but it was a Tom Jones hit written by Burt Bacharach. I couldn�t understand the song exactly. I thought the man was in love with his pet cat.

Later, when I was 10 years old, dad worked at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton. I loved Bremerton�s damp salt air and rolling, green hills. Those were turbulent times for our family, but I distinctly remember sitting at our small dining room table right next to the kitchen while my mom prepared dinner for us five kids. She had her radio on and there was a song titled �Do You Know The Way To San Jose?� The song made me happy and at the time I didn�t know it was sung by Dionne Warwick, who possessed a perfect singing voice.

Eventually I figured out the man behind many of the wonderful songs I had been hearing on mom�s radio were written by Burt Bacharach. Much later still I learned he collaborated with lyricist Hal (Harold) David and they both won Oscar Awards for the song, �Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head,� which was featured in the movie, �Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid.�

Later I learned to play a few chords on my guitar and �Raindrops� is something I practiced, with mixed results. It is perhaps my favorite Bacharach tune, although there are so many good ones that it�s hard to choose.

To me, Bacharach epitomized the sound of the 60s. Not Elvis, not The Beatles, not the Rolling Stones. Bacharach.

He wrote the score for the Bond spoof movie, �Casino Royale� and to me that movie summed up the 1960s. It was packed with stars including David Niven, Orson Welles, Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, and Woody Allen when he was still funny (and not the pathetic worm he later became).

Yes, I know Burt thought Trump was unfit to be president, but let�s put politics aside for a moment and honor a man who wrote music that casted rays of light and happiness on an unhappy world.

Rest in peace, Burt.

Okay. Back to to normal.

THEY WANT TO PUSH JAMES O�KEEFE OUT
UPDATE: Project Veritas Board Gets Massive Cease & Desist Letter From Top Donors After Rumored James O�Keefe Ouster.

Glenn Greenwald worked for a media organization called The Intercept, but soon top editors there began censoring his reporting. Greenwald leaned left politically, but believed in fair and honest journalism and his investigations were leading to uncomfortable truths among the left. He was was forced to resign from an organization he helped found.

An even worse fate was dealt to Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange. He has now spent years in jail for revealing the truth about how corrupt Hillary and the Democrats are. Without Assange, there is no Wikileaks.

Likewise, without James O�Keefe, there is no Project Veritas.

It�s probably no coincidence that the board is trying to force his resignation after his bombshell revelation showed what many of us already knew: Pfizer is a corrupt and criminal organization. Did Pfizer use their money and influence to put pressure on insiders within Project Veritas? Maybe O�Keefe needs to investigate his own organization.

Naturally, O�Keefe�s corrupt establishment targets are going to fight back. They own politicians, the media, as well as lobbyists. They control vast sums of money. Pfizer raked in many billions of dollars from their fraudulent and experimental Covid vaccines and they want that pipeline to remain operational as it pumps endless billions of dollars into their coffers unabated. That�s what it�s all about�not public health, but profits gleaned by means of a medical establishment that they control.

We support O�Keefe. They say he�s a difficult and demand boss, but that�s good. He�s exactly the kind of man we need fighting for us.

It's absolutely transphobia. But it's even worse by implication because it's making the case that trans women don't even share the same species as the men who protect women. It's not a confused sheepdog in sheep's clothing, it's a wolf who will never be anything but a predator.

edit: and as long as we're talking transphobia I'm going to call my shot now. The confused rainbow-hair applying a demon filter in Sinfest is the comic's first transmasc representation.

Also note the wolf isn't just wearing a sheep's costume like this saying is normally depicted, it's very deliberately drawn wearing the body of a murdered sheep Ed Gein style.

After reading a bit more, it might be tied to either the fact that a woman caught up in the accident had a miscarriage, or that he's gay, either coupled with the fact that he's likely at fault as early testing found cocaine in his system.

Don't forget that time he did a Social Media Bad cartoon by grabbing a still of the wicked witch offering Snow White a poison apple with some lazy tracing over it. The base image he used for that one was so low res that it was about 80% JPEG artefact.
