Every time one of these fuckers does that they might as well be complaining about people smoking “jazz cigarettes” for how relatable they are. It’s a visual metaphor that sort of fossilized and is almost opaque to a modern viewer. Frankenstein’s monster hasn’t really been portrayed as seriously scary since when my dad was a kid ; The Munsters had a legally distinct comedy dad monster 60 years ago. These political cartoons legit belong in a museum. It’s just not an art museum.

Didn’t watch the SotU, what’s with the “kitchen”? Also, Aside from the fact no one is happy with Trump/Biden I’m pretty sure having “repeat” elections is quite common? Didn’t Nixon run a bunch of times before winning let alone the elections in 1900’s? Everyone’s acting like it’s such a unique phenomenon.

The Alabama Senator who took the sacrificial minority flak job of responding to the State of the Union, Katie Britt, gave perhaps the worst such response in history. It was terrible on many levels, but was most visibly terrible because she delivered it from a hideous 90s sitcom kitchen as part of an incredibly ill-considered attempt to appeal to some sort of tradwife aesthetic (despite being a largely conventional career politician with no such background). 100YrsofAttitude posted:Also, Aside from the fact no one is happy with Trump/Biden I’m pretty sure having “repeat” elections is quite common?

I've been trying to determine who the most wasted talent in political cartoons is. Garrison could probably make money drawing weird furry porn given how raunchy his art style gets, which is a step above what he's doing, but it's not exactly a high-status job. Branco does "real" art when he's not scribbling hateful caricatures, but not at any sort of great level. So I guess that leaves Tatsuya the Sinfest Guy? He really does have a pleasant if simple style that he could've leveraged for something real if he hadn't decided to become a literal nazi. Like, at least a semi-popular webcomic, if not actually professional stuff with some more practice and polish.

It's really not possible to judge from what's posted here; several of the most abhorrent cartoonists actually have entirely respectable, competent artistic skills and have simply, correctly, internalized the practice of applying less than the bare minimum of effort to their politoon output. Other than Rall ofc

It's beyond me how someone can be a professional cartoonist with so long record and yet fail to immediately see the problem with his caricature. And just because he wanted to cram in the 'State of the Onion' pun.

I'd nominate Ramirez and Horsey. Ramirez doesn't take things like human anatomy seriously but it's clear his style lends itself to architecture, vehicles, goofy animal people. He dishonors himself by being able to draw like he does and have to resort to slapping DEBT on it. Most political cartoonists do but he's shamelessly and famously the king of the label and giving up on clear visual metaphor. Horsey's art is fantastic and he's pigeonholed it into one of the most pathetic fields, his politics being give or take and often focused on goofy local grudges. Imagine if dude teamed up with any decent writer and put out an adventure or comedy story. Hell, he'd probably make a lot more money doing porn.

Yeah honestly a lot of politoonists basically forego some form for the sake of hitting deadlines or (more likely) they stopped giving a poo poo. Payne is probably the best example of this comparing his cartoons from the 80s. Worst wasted talent is Eric Allie, he could actually produce a decent comic if he wasn't paired with Scott Stantis, an old white man who made his self insert a young black girl.

Every president for the last century has either been dead, disgraced, or term-limited by the time they left office, except I guess HW Bush. Running in multiple elections isn't weird, but the previous president coming back for another go is. Plus people aren't really happy with either, as you say.

Running in multiple elections isn't weird, but the previous president coming back for another go is. Former President vs. Current President has happened once prior, in 1892 (incumbent Benjamin Harrison vs. former President Grover Cleveland, a repeat of 1888). Former Presidents running after losing has only happened three times otherwise, with both Martin Van Buren and Millard Fillmore running as third-party candidates pre-Civil War, and Theodore Roosevelt doing so (and doing well enough that maybe Taft was the real third party) Rematches between candidates have happened twice in the last 125 years - William Jennings Bryan vs William McKinley (1896 and 1900) and Dwight Eisenhower vs. Adlai Stevenson (1952 and 1956). Three other candidates were their parties’ nominees despite previous losses: Bryan also ran in 1908, Thomas Dewey ran in 1944 and 1948, and Nixon ran in 1960 and 1968. So it’s not unknown, but it’s not common.

This would be a better zinger if it made any goddamn sense at all. Aborted fetuses have a 0% chance of graduating high school. Babies born alive have maybe an 85% chance of graduating high school. How do you get "100% more likely" from that? What does it even mean for something to be "100% more likely" than something that can't happen?

Kellies Nomination: Unforced Error "yes the right is a bunch of radical ghouls that want to usher in a thousand years of religious autocratic rule...but the left is far too radical too...just don't ask me to name any examples..." i recently went on a youtube binge of rightwing movie reviews. on youtube they are split into three camps: 1: "i disagree with the movie's views and it's trash" 2: "i agree with this movie's views and it's awesome" and the 3rd: "i am a neutral observer above the political divide, the movie is trash but so are all the equivalent far left movies that go too far left. i will not name any of these movies." i watched the reviews in a row that had the same message "lady ballers is stupid and trash but they have a point that maybe movies that push the 'trans agenda' are too far as well" they then do not name a single example. they're fighting this very real example of far right directly in front of them but creating whole cloth a far left example just to seem balanced and neutral. here horsey points out that yes, maybe the gop has been taken over by far right ghouls that want to usher in a theocracy...but aren't the left just cheerleaders for themselves and their fighting words and devicise speeches? as if the vice president should, in the interest of fairness, boo her side every once in awhile. i mean how can we trust the vice president if they do nothing but cheer their own party?

Well, here's his explanation for the cartoon:David Horsey posted:President Joe Biden was so anxious to come out swinging in his State of the Union address that he did not give Speaker of the House Mike Johnson a chance to make the customary formal introduction of the president. Pretty sure the metaphor here is just that his speech was "on fire", as in, it was good. Not saying he really communicated that successfully, but it looks like that was his intent.
