Solving all of life's problems through enhanced casting of Occam's Razor. Reward yourself with an imaginary chalice.

Tatsuya Ishida, it's me, the online transfemme you've never met, speaking to you inside your brain. This week's comics are loving boring. You've been looking at too many memes. Get drunk and watch every single Dune movie back to back. Remember when you drew Vegeta? You can draw Vegeta again if you want to. Piss off Stormfront Jigsaw and get locked in his racist torture puzzle dungeon. Go touch grass and have a day out at the book store or something. I'm the woman you hate and I demand you go out there and get inspired by loving something you boring little Nazi freak.

(seriously though kind of just a milquetoast collection of hate this week, it'd be hilarious if he started to just run out of ideas and faded away into even further obscurity, I wouldn't kick that out of bed for eating crackers)

There’s been a Cold War against government transparency for as long as there have been governments. Here in New Jersey, the Cold War turned hot the past few years as the Democrats that run the state -- and the vast majority of the counties in it -- are going to new lengths to keep you from finding out what they’re up to.

First they neutered ELEC, the Election Law Enforcement Commission, a previously vital election watchdog. Next they set out to gut OPRA, the Open Public Records Act, but surprisingly strong blowback has left that matter still pending. The latest target in the ongoing effort to avoid accountability sees the counties targeting state Comptroller Kevin Walsh.

The Comptroller is responsible for investigating government waste, fraud and abuse and writing detailed reports for the public. Political bosses don’t like attention, and apparently this Walsh fellow is really cramping their style. Walsh has been highly effective in his role, issuing meticulous reports detailing waste and abuse in Essex, Union and Hudson that shined a spotlight on a truly spectacular range of malfeasance. If he keeps this up, the unthinkable may happen and someone may be held responsible.

In a desperate attempt to avoid such a fate, the New Jersey Association of Counties drafted a letter to Senate President Nick Scutari, asking him to make Walsh stop writing graphic reports on how the sausage is made.

New Jersey’s counties are run like little fiefdoms, and Walsh’s work detailing all gross backroom deals that make the system run are a threat to that power. Walsh seems unbothered by this full frontal assault on his sanctioned mission, and content to continue investigating and reporting on the types of behavior that have made New Jersey politics a beloved national punchline for years and years. Scutari hasn’t commented on the letter as of yet, but the proper response would be to crumble it up and toss it in the bin where it belongs.

Couldn't have picked a better media property for this one, Sheneman?

Seen this song and dance before, and based on his previous cartoons I'm guessing his point is closer to-

'Acknowledgement of Cointry is performative nonsense, and a waste of time'
'Ok, how about we proceed to establishing the Voice, Treaty and Truth that the Indigenous elders recommended, to move towards something meaningful to undo the poo poo thats been done.'
'gently caress that, they'll use that to legalise sniffing petrol and beating their kids, thats all they know how to do. They should be thankful the British came to civilise them'

Branco believes in every right wing conservative talking point and that all his enemies are antisemites. Tats believes in the protocols of zion and that all his enemies are Jews waving dildos at him.

It's certainly a more esoteric form of hate poisoned idiocy, although other than all the random pop culture references Tats just has to follow along with what the worst of the X nazis are talking about today, whereas Branco has to do that and then pretend that it's the other guys who are Jew hating nazis.

I feel there's a distinction between idiots like Ishida and hatemongers like your Ramirez, Lesters, Brancos and Stiglichs who are willfully aware of what they do and share pure scornful hate of people like the protestors for not licking the boot. Maybe it's the institutional hate vs the internet brain poisoned guy screaming into the void online... both are awful but the elder hateful really make me feel revulsion in my gut. Ishida evokes a tiny bit of pity, though quite hateful and vile still. It's like his comics can be safely ignored, the barking of a dog.

The anti-protestor comics have been a real all-star lineup of shitheads these last two weeks.

In Ishida's case, I think there's something more mercenary to his hate, similar to Garrison.
Like, yeah, they believe the poo poo they're peddling, but what they really want is for you to pay them to peddle that poo poo. For the right price, they would very probably "agree" with anything you told them to.

Compare that to Branco who really does just seem to have a love of the game. If he lost his job and ended up on the streets, he'd still be on the corner handing out napkins covered in his drawings of a bearded trans woman named Fred wanting to molest your daughter.

Honestly, all of their cartoons blur together for me by this point. It's just "take liberal politician (whom you hate), draw a bad caricature, draw stink lines around them and a voice bubble so they say 'I am evil!!!', send to publisher" a couple of times a week. Their art is atrocious but that's kind of the point. It's raw spite fueled by a half-remembered "how to draw cartoons" book published in 1973.

It makes me "miss" the days of Chuck Asay, where he'd draw pleasant landscapes and cuddly-looking characters, but then you'd read the dialogue and go "Oh, he's advocating Rick Santorum for president" or "Wait, did he just call those child mass shooting victims pussies?"

Ishida pretty much ruined himself peddling hateful poo poo. He could be making a perfectly fine and a little raunchy web comic like he used to do. Instead he made the poo poo he makes now that no one except for the people posting in this thread reads.

Rob Smith Jr. was the post office guy. Anyone know if he's still active.

Anyway, I'm not ready to get back in the habit of consistently posting Garrison just yet (most of them have been pretty boring lately anyway) but here's an "interesting" one.


Straight up admitting that Cannon is running interference for trump, AGC.

His rant mentions something about Smith admitting that key evidence was altered which seems like it would have been pretty big news if it were real.
