I fucken hate the way Knight draws Albanese. It's inexplicable. He doesn't have a long, thin head! He has a round, sort of squat head, with boyish features, like a toddler. By all means make it an ugly caricature if you hate him, but make it recognisable! Who is this person? It looks like just some made-up guy.

At least with gas stoves there's a legit reason people don't want to give them up. Regular electric stoves can't heat up and cool down instantly, and while induction stoves can they're expensive and require special cookware. It's not like the light bulb "debate" where there's literally no reason for incandescents to exist except to trigger the libs.

e:that said nobody is coming to rip out existing gas stoves and I'm sure by the time you can't get them anymore induction will be much cheaper

Here i Norway induction stoves has been the norm for years. I've never heard anyone talk about how expensive they are and that they require "special cookware". Plus they come with the added benefit of not attaching a giant canister of flammable gas to your house.

Also, we're largely talking about natural gas which is piped in not propane gas, which is a lot less common.

It's a reference to a Norman Rockwell painting called "The Gossips" (Ann included a link to this image underneath her art to remove any ambiguity), which looks like this:



The story goes that Rockwell painted this about an incident in which he heard a harmful piece of gossip about himself and confronted the originator, and indeed the man in the lower-right getting mad is Rockwell himself.

Of course, social media simplifies this process dramatically - all the people find out simultaneously instead. Telnaes might have a particular incident in mind, but I'm pretty sure there isn't a deeper meaning beyond what you've already detected: this woman secretly records some people gossiping and the gossip gets posted to social media, where it makes everyone mad. The vehemence of the reaction of the mad people surprises even the person posting it - she's kind of opened a Pandora's Box here. I don't want to go to WaPo to research this any further at the moment; their workers are on strike today.

The main issue in American politics and economics in this specific instance is that research found that the gas stoves are giving kids lung problems and that it's significantly worse in lower income and migrant households where appliances are often older and ventilation is worse.

Any actual solution to that would mean some kind of money or vouchers or testing service going to the people that Payne would rather just die though, so even though I can't even see much being done about it anyway, he still needs to remind everyone that it's good and right that big car go vrrrr and poor child go hffff.

I've found if you give these people evidence that immigration is good for the economy they have no other response than to flat-out refuse to believe it. No reason given usually. Just "nope, that does not agree with my view of the world, your evidence and data cannot be real".

It's basically just a wordier version of "Why won't you tolerate my intolerance?"

It used to be we could ask innocent questions like "Are certain groups of people subhuman monsters and pedophiles who should be immediately put to the sword?" and have an honest debate about what size sword we should use. Now they just immediately call me a racist or a TERF or an ignorant piece of poo poo.

I skimmed the rant because I didn't know who this was, and this jumped out at me:

Garrison posted:

Tester, who misses three fingers on his left hand, claims to represent “Montana values.”

How are these two ideas related, Ben? Did you mean to sound like missing fingers are inherently related to his lack of Montana Values, or is this just how badly your writing is organised? Why bring up the missing fingers at all? What a weird non sequitur.

Also, of course the politician is a multimillionaire, which is bad when it's true about people I don't like, but they usually are because that's who has the money to run big budget campaigns. That's the system. That's how the system works.

I knew a guy from Montana who was missing a couple because of an incident splitting wood.

I guess in Ben Garrison world that would mean he's a true mountain man who's not afraid of risk and works with his hands instead of in a liberal elite ivory tower if it's someone who he likes, or a dangerous incompetent who tried to do the real man things and failed which makes him a failure if it's someone he dislikes, because the team comes first and everything else slots backwards into that.

He also didn't seem to draw the dude's left hand at any point, which makes sense until he points out the fingers in text. Why not draw that? In the second panel it almost looks that way, but that's his right hand and the fingers are folder over, apparently. Why not cartoon, cartoonist?

Ok I'm not like a creative writing expert, but it seems like your characterization and narrative is contradictory and confusing when your character has opposite opinions from day to day for seemingly no reason.

I mean, if you have two characters you can show both sides of the issue by... assigning each one a side and having them debate instead of one character flip flopping all over the place.
