Jerry Holbert. I'm not sure his comics ever went completely nonsensical (and he was never someone who used very nuanced or detailed jokes beyond a pun or "thing bad"), but retrospectively, the decline is clear. Comic from 1997:  Comic from 2011:  Comic from 2018:  For reference, he was diagnosed in 2019 and died in 2022. The illness, frontotemporal dementia, is apparently rare and especially devastating. He was also the cartoonist who brought us the skull donkey. Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Sep 8, 2023 |

Lester and Glenn McCoy (until he retired from political cartoons) are also big dips in quality, although that’s not dementia so much as phoning in their cartoons to focus on movies or comic strips

Bok is a well-known idiot. China Daily Shifting the blame by Luo Jie  Ignoring reality by Song Chen  I can't speak for how good China is on this matter, can't feel that they aren't, but having visited Connecticut this summer, this rings very true. The EU isn't much better in doing anything but at least the issue is acknowledged. Freedom of speech in the US by Luo Jie  Le Monde is back and I've missed a whole week of updates. With this back I'll probably try to update a bit more regularly. Because now the back log is quite huge. They're in chronological order from the beginning of the week till today. I'll try posting Fabrice Erre's stuff a bit. It's very focused on French education (and I'm a teacher over here) so it's rather niche and a bit bland but the art's nice. Transmutation by Fabrice Erre  A member of the teaching corp of the National Ministry of Education Préoccupations de rentrée/Back-to-School Worries by Fabrice Erre  People shouting:Authority! Uniforms! Shortages! Laicity! Thought bubble:I wonder if my projector is working.  by Urbs from FranceThe Baccalaureat will now take place in June "And the teachers?" For some reason, the final exam of French education took place in March last year, which resulted in kids understandably giving up the ghost soon after despite having class until June. I'm not quite sure what the punchline is here. Probably something about teachers not working.  by Chappatte from Switzerland"Imperial France in Africa". We've heard that song." "Is it Wagner's?" Syrie : des manifestations mettent le pays sous pression/Syria: Protests put the country under pressure by Emad Hajjaj from Jordan   by Kichka from Israel"I thought I killed all my opponents!" Signs read: Inflation! Cost of living too high! Get out Assad! Sick of unemployment!  by Paresh from IndiaL’Afrique veut se mettre au vert, mais pas toute seule/Africa wants to go green but not on its own by Wimar from Cuba  Charlie Hebdo  On China in space  Intellectual menace "It's making girls want to go to school!" The abaya was banned in French schools tied to the Ministry of Education.  School bullying: Working better with the victims "It's normal if it's a bit tight."  This is just an ad for their podcast but I liked the drawing.  Stop burning the Koran... "Read it! I've never laughed so hard!"

A.F. Branco I... really don't get this one. Branco would be doing cartwheels over a city no longer being declared a sanctuary city. But apparently he's really reached the point where anything done anyone with a (D) after their name on the ballot is automatically wrong. Also, Kellies Nomination: Worst Caricature. Al Goodwyn  Andy Marlette  Gary Markstein  Michael Ramirez  Mike Luckovich  Steve Kelley

JamesBont posted:...what? I think it's just Bok whining that people have actually looked into the backstory of that image instead of just smiling and continuing to mindlessly accept it for the "America, gently caress yeah!" picture it spent decades being. Basically the same vein of thought that goes into "Well 20 years ago, we were allowed to say X about Y, but now that's considered hate speech."

Fister Roboto posted:It's also not even a tank! I don't think the editorial cartoon is a comment on the linked article but rather on the Ukrainian progress against Russian minefields. Still, "mine resistant" just means that there is a high likelihood of the crew surviving hitting mines due to shape of the hull's bottom, not that the vehicle can just choo choo through mines like a train, like Antigravitas alludes. As for execution there's a recognisable trope there, but might have gone all the way to Wile. E. Coyote reference.

I can only imagine such a vehicle. "The vehicle made it! Detonated thirty mines! What a piece of engineering!" "Wow, and the crew all survived?" "Oh! No. No. It'll be a mess in there. But still, wow!"
