Oh, no, I just meant in general, I'm tired of these lazy "Why persecute Trump for crime when crime exists?" cartoons. The picture itself (because let's be honest, other than being drawn, is stretching the definition of cartoon) is just... nothing. There is nothing to it. It's just a remarkably lazy cartoon, where any effort more than just sighing and telling the artist "gently caress you" is more than what he spent on the cartoon. Like, if you told me the text was lifted directly from the talking points, I would believe you 100%.

Periodic reminder that the same people who are beside themselves that someone would care go after Trump for his teensy weensy wittle crimes also believe that George Floyd deserved to die because he was a criminal.

Brawnfire posted:I'm wondering what part of this is a cartoon. There's neither joke nor punchline nor even a comedic depiction of anything. It's just... a drawing, a very ugly drawing, of what everyone knows republicans already believe. This is Ed Gamble's specialty. He doesn't really grasp what a political cartoon is, exactly, apart from "a drawing about politics". Almost every cartoon he does is exactly like this. It's actually the main reason I started posting him; he's just so astoundingly bad at the craft of cartooning that it's kind of impressive. In fact, here's another example! Ed Gamble  You can actually see the ideas in here, but the execution is just awful. Just a few possible things one could do instead to mildly improve matters: * Keeping the intent of the cartoon relatively intact, Xi congratulates Putin on being named a war criminal for killing X people and Putin says something along the lines of "With your help, we can double that!" * They appear to be shaking hands at a podium, but Xi is sneakily passing him weapons behind it (perhaps in a large bag labelled "weapons"). No dialogue needed. * Have Putin start the conversation instead; he's proud of managing to commit enough genocide that the ICC is after him, and Xi responds "hey, if you want some advice on committing genocide, you're talking to the right guy". * Putin is standing on a block wearing a medal labelled "ICC Indictment", raising one fist in victory while brushing away a tear with the other hand. Xi is in the front of the audience, giving him a standing ovation. I'm sure anyone in this thread could construct a better cartoon setup than this even if they couldn't draw it. (And Gamble isn't any great shakes at actual art, either.) Anyway... Clay Bennett  Lisa Benson  Jeff Stahler  Lee Judge  Mike Smith  Kirk Walters  Jimmy Margulies  David M.

Skios posted:Gary Varvel  I honestly don't get the point of this. "The Dems are trying to stop Trump in 2024/Dems are trying to drag Trump down" but... yes? It's a two party system? Shouldn't the better analogy be a donkey and Trump lined up at the starting line, while an eagle wearing a referee shirt is trying to sneak a ball and chain onto Trump's leg, Trump is glancing back and shouting out "Hey!" and the donkey glancing at Trump while snickering?

It's just so... I want to nominate it for a Kellies, I just have no idea what to even nominate it for. It's not even incomprehensible, it just makes no sense!
