Ted Rall is all for violently destroying the system as long as it in no way inconveniences him, Ted Rall.

Rall bitched about Occupy Wall Street too. I assume he wants a revolution to overthrow our capitalist oppressors, and somehow him doodling ugly cartoons is contributing to that but not protests. You could probably find a cartoon with him whining about protests being too easy to ignore.

Also having once been subject to an advertiser boycot (over his 9/11 widow's cartoon) he has also declared any kind of consumer boycot horrible and unjust no matter the reason or target (if I recall correctly he took this stance in defense of a fox news host)

Let’s count Rall the ways he sucks: -He set a kickstarter with a reward tier to have dinner with him, but he sets the date, location, restaurant, time limit, and reserved the right to cancel without notice. He also doesn’t have talk to you. Nobody took him up on it. -Claimed to have pushed a hobo onto subway tracks, killing him -Claimed to have dropped a brick on a bully’s head in school, and gutted him in shop class. The “bully” somehow survived -Claimed to have have a wart burrow into his aorta, causing massive bleeding and forcing him to temporarily drop out of college. (in reality he majored in nuclear physics and probably changed majors when he couldn’t handle it) -claims a scientific paper was written about his wart which has never surfaced -Claimed to have couch surf in college with beautiful women whom he had sex with. -Claimed his blood transfusion from his killer wart may have been tainted with HIV. Didn’t stop him from sleeping with a bunch of women. -During this, claimed to have asked his mommy for money while getting a blowjob, giving us the Sad Blowjob meme -Above item was in a autobiography he didn’t even draw himself because he that’s poo poo an artist -Claims to have been “roughed up” by the LAPD in 2001 because the various protests against police brutality weren’t about him enough. This caused him to go to war with his then-paper the LA Times, who fired him after police audio proved him a liar -Made his obituary cartoon about Roger Ebert all about how much smarter he is than Ebert -Despite his ego about his intelligence, frequently goes on Fox News to be their token idiot liberal, because he’s so terrible they find him a safe enough mark to bring on the air -Had a bizarre cartoon regarding a teacher who protected her students during an emergency by using herself as a shield. He called her fat. -has a long-standing feud with Maus creator Art Spiegelman, whom is basically Rall’s one-sided nemesis to explain why Rall toils in relative obscurity. -also has had his nosed tweaked by Danny Hellman, whom despite becoming a fringe conspiracy theorist still manages to only be a tenth as obnoxious as Rall. -takes money from propaganda outlets and acts astonished when the trips they take him on seem on the up and up

I thought Purple-Bama actually wasn't his fault, he just threw a fit about it anyways because people were mocking him.

That was…maybe not his fault. Some sites used a different format with different color data. However, given Rall knew this and could probably have done something to fix. I mean, it’s not like it happens to every cartoonist. I imagine Rall just didn’t know how to fix because his knowledge of anything art rivals that of Kirschen, and why do work when you can get attention?

(The actual reason I still remember that is because his response was an apology and a promise to add more positive diversity rather than a 20,000 word rant about how Black people should not even look at his comic. Guy's brain really melted.)

Guavanaut posted:I recall it happened to Scott Adams once back in the 90s, the color version had it look at though the one Black guy was the idiot and the butt of the joke. The comic had a security guard that was stealing poo poo at night. The colorist decided to make the one off thief character black. It was still Scott Adam's fault for being lazy and hiring a colorist instead of doing his own work unlike most cartoonist, and not even checking what the guy was doing before signing off. Given what we now know about the guy, I would not at all put it past him to hire a racist friend.

IIRC colorists for dailies were pretty common at that point, and often either requested by or mandated by the syndicate, but I could just be making poo poo up.

Which could just be a "racist getting caught" moment, but if so he at least cared enough about getting caught that he didn't just go "yeah I'm racist, whites should stay away from blacks, MAGA MAGA MAGA" for five pages back then.
