Technowolf posted:Clay Bennett Kellies Nomination: Most Easily Reinterpreted If you're Bennett's target audience, then you know the message he's conveying is "Don't hold your breath on Trump ever being sentenced to Superjail until the end of forever, he's never going to face any real consequences for his crimes." But if you're a Trump supporter, then it can easily be flipped to "Poor Trump is never going to receive the justice he is due, he will continue to be endlessly assaulted by the deep state trying to frame him for crimes that he either did not do or had every legal right to do."

No, Trump winning in 2016 is what initially broke Bennett. Every so often he knocks out out of the park, but not nearly as often as he used to. At this point, he's basically Gorrell'd himself.

Ah, Candace Owens who was this week fired from the Daily Wire cofounded by Ben Shapiro, supposedly for being 'too antisemetic'. If I'm counting correctly this comic was drawn exactly the day she got fired, assuming Ishida doesn't have a backlog.

 Rowe:  Like most Rowes a whole bunch of stuff. While the Liberals & Nationals are doing well in Queensland on the weekend they lost a South Australian state by-election seat (losing to a sitting government is thing that almost never happens) and while they are ahead in seats in the Tasmanian state election assuming they can find the numbers they will be in an even shakier minority. Broelman:  The only Tasmanian issue non-Tasmanian cartoonists know is the football team. Downes:  (Downes is a Tasmanian cartoonist). Tasmanian Liberal premier Jeremy Rockliff gave a triumphant victory speech on Saturday about a "fourth consecutive win for the Liberal party" when the actual result will be an even deeper minority government where they may need to seek concessions from groups they actively pissed off during the campaign.

I'm guessing that's what they did in the sex shop too. One thing that at least used to be important for kosher food manufacturing was also what kind of cleaners they used - soap is fat-based, so the fat needs to not be from a nonkosher source. I don't think that applies to manufacturing of non-eatables, though, and I don't know how much of an issue it is in modern cleaning agents. Reading an article about it, it sounds like the proprietor's justification for calling their sex toys kosher is that they are meant to "help married couples create intimacy in a relationship."

I got a treat for you all. Well, “treat”. Turns out former Thread Villain, Chuck Asay, donated his cartoons to a local library. And this includes a digital archive. We’re talking thousands of cartoons, with like 350 on average per year, including the 80s and 90s and even the 70s. And it includes a curious category called “rejected.” Oh yes  Not only do we have cartoons deemed unfit for print, but with commentary from Asay himself on why they got rejected. Sometimes it’s a concrete, other times Asay has to hazard a guess. The only caveat is that some of these are tagged as “rejected locally”, so I’m not 100% certain if some of these did see print nationally but were specifically banned from Asay’s local paper. Either way, it offers some insight to be sure. Also, many of these aren’t dated, so I will do my best to infer when these happened and provide proper context. I’ll do a sample today, and if you crave more we’ll keep going.  1Chuck Sez: “This cartoon was not published because editors were concerned about sexual implications. Cowboy and six-gun analogy. Reagan used to say, "Never say never" but seemed to grow soft on South African policy, supporting sanctions and using SDI as a bargaining chip.” Well, this is very obviously the 80s, given Reagan, South Africa, and the cartoon being rejected for overblown fears of sexual misinterpretation. And yes, this is Chuck pooh-poohing Reagan for being soft towards sanctions on then-apartheid South Africa. Reagan’s alternative seemed to be mushy thoughts on “bringing freedom” there. SDI is likely the infamous Star Wars missile defense system. Not entirely sure how it was a bargaining chip…include their country as covered by the shield? Feel free to correct me if SDI is something else in this context.  2Chuck Sez: “Spectors of death might see this as good news. The Colorado City Council is considering a gay rights ordinance to protect gay people's activities. Homosexual behavior and the dreaded disease of Aids have been linked and deaths, from aids, have been declining. It seems the city council might be contributing to an upsurge of deaths by passing the ordinance. The cartoon was rejected, probably, because it was speculative. Plus, it's a very sensitive topic.” It was rejected because it was homophobic, Chuck. And yes, Chuck absolutely loathed gay people. You’ll see his work in the 80s and 90s is a lot more upfront about it.  3Chuck Sez: “I think this cartoon was rejected because there was confusion about subsidizing equal rights mentioned in panel six. It is a little obscure. I think the point I was trying to make had to do with the isolation of the smoker and the freedom aids victims had to move about in the workplace. Sigh!” No Chuck, it’s because you portrayed HIV as being easily spread as second-hand smoke. Even Captain Planet knew better than that in the early 90s so I’m not giving you a pass. The little sigh just cements the smug confidence that his cartoon was just too smart and not hateful drivel.  4Chuck Sez: “Acceptance of slavery in the old days is just like the acceptance of Wade v. Roe today. I don't want to inflict my morality on others. Lots of church leaders were passive in the days of slavery, Nazi crimes and today on the issue of life.” Chuck was a fierce, doggedly pro-life cartoonist, and he did more of these “abortion is just as bad as slavery” of which several are in the rejected pile.  5Chuck Sez: “Public Library officials have a tough time trying to regulate free speech" and "hate speech". It's an ongoing struggle. Today, the debate is concerning Dr. Suess' children's books. Back when I was cartooning the debate was about showing Madonna's "Sex" advocacy and Time Warner's cop killing rap stuff. When taxpayer money is involved, I would advocate for more protective regulation. My libertarian bosses were more on the side of "free speech". I suppose that's why this cartoon was rejected in their paper.” The more things change, eh? Just mad libs in the group you need to villainize today. Also, this is the SECOND rejected cartoon featuring Madonna. Someone was not a fan.  6Chuck Sez: “This cartoon is "wrong" on so many fronts, it was bound to get rejected for publication in the Gazette. It mixes religion with politics. It compares our current government to the Nazi government of Germany that led to the holocaust. I combined walking in darkness to the slippery slope, often talked about when mankind makes laws that view "unwanted people" as having no rights. America's founding document, the Declaration of Independence, declares that human beings have a right of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. When our laws allow assisted suicide, abortion, fetal harvesting, etc. we walk in darkness.” I’d say like, at LEAST half of the reject folders are Asay going too hard on abortion. I’m trying to limit them to provide variety. But this one could have been at any time in Chuck’s career.  7Chuck Sez: “Caption "The Primary Turnout Cheer!" Three cheerleaders for the primary turnout can only spell VOT because the fourth member (the silent E) wants a bigger part. I guess voters have a right to remain silent. Bosses may have thought this cartoon was too obscure for readers.” It is important to remember that a lot of rejects are just nixed for being too weak, weird, or plain indecipherable. Even his commentary doesn’t really explain the joke or premise. The date on the entry is 1986 (take with a grain of salt as some entries are tagged as 2100). Did a primary candidate or operative from either party whine about having too little power or something? That still doesn’t make sense given it’s about the vote itself! So, do you all want another helping of rejects? Or should we jump straight into the 70s cartoons? Or should we leave Asay in the past where he belongs? The thread burns for your input.

Feel free to correct me if SDI is something else in this context. SDI is indeed referring to the missile defense system, and it had nothing to do with South Africa. Back in the 1980s people still had to be able to read newspapers to get the news, so a cartoonist could still reference two separate issues in a single cartoon and expect people to understand the distinction. Don't blame yourself for the misunderstanding because it's a completely lost art these days. Anyway that context suggestions that this is obviously a cartoon from the time of the arms limitation treaty negotiations between Gorbachev and Reagan in the mid/late '80s.

My misunderstanding was more from Asay’s commentary, which made it sound like SDI was part of Reagan’s South Africa policy. It does make more sense as its own issue in a broader cartoon about foreign policy.

Yeah; the better way to explain what Asay was going for was that Reagan was willing to negotiate with South Africa and the USSR - threatening sanctions on SA if they didn’t reform apartheid, and offering to back away from SDI if the Soviet Union changed some policies - and Asay is angry that Reagan isn’t simply threading the USSR with nuclear oblivion and telling SA that he’ll support them no matter what their internal policies were, because that’s the kind of rear end in a top hat Asay is. Anyways, love this, would love to see more assuming this thread doesn’t turn jet-black with toxins from Asay and Ishida being posted on the same page

Based on his one commentary mentioning the Dr. Seuss non-issue, I’d say these commentaries date to around 2021. This means some thirty years later he still doesn’t understand that it’s pretty hosed up to act like a person with HIV can’t spread it by just breathing in your general vicinity.

At the Reykjavik Summit in 1986, Reagan offered to share SDI technology with the Soviets, who had wanted to ban SDI research entirely. While Gorbachev rejected the proposal, the hardline anticommunists saw even making the offer as a betrayal.
