Worst Middle East Cartoon D It had to be a Kirschen, of course. Worst Police Brutality Cartoon B Victim Blaming: The Cartoon. Not even an ounce of subtlety to it, just straight up "it's his fault he got murdered". Worst Torture Report Cartoon D A noun, a verb... Worst The Interview Cartoon A This one is just really badly put-together on top of everything else. Worst cartoon about a tragedy G A fine example of exact-opposite-of-reality.jpg. Worst caricature C What the poo poo? Worst "A Thing Happened" cartoon C Not only a bad cartoon, but an insignificant event. Worst Label I It's no mountain of debt, but pretty close. Least concealed bigotry in a cartoon H All of these are so goddamned terrible that I picked almost at random. Laziest cartoon J So tired of that drat bumper. Quad-bumber is just too much. Most easily reinterpreted F Probably just my brain. Overall worst political cartoon of the year I I hate to pick this twice, but Jesus Christ, man. Jesus Christ. Best edit/parody D It was extremely hard picking between this and Day By Penis.

Something to add a bit of flavor, if it's not extra work: lots of people are posting really good rationales for why they chose the ones they did, you could include particularly articulate explanations from the vote posts which explain why a given comic deserves to be selected above the rests. You'd just have to find someone who voted for the category's winner and gave an explanation, so maybe that would be too much work. But it's a thought, maybe for next year if it would help to plan for it from the start.

I've lurked the politoons threads the past few years, but this year was a real standout in terms of sheer hideousness, inciting me to actually vote. Worst Israel/Palestine K - Kirschen Worst Police Brutality Ugh this was so hard - so many uniquely terrible cartoons. I had to eenie meenie miney moe between Rall's and the turkey McCoy, but D - turkey McCoy Worst Torture Report D - Ramirez - this seems like a given Worst "The Interview" B - 7oden - ditto Worst Cartoon about a Tragedy B - Beeler - for its sheer dismissive glibness Worst caricature B - Catalino-bama Worst "A thing happened" I Worst Label D - Garrison - I wanted to vote Ramirez' "debt Debt DEBT" but I feel like he has too many awards as it is, and perversely I don't even want him to have the distinction of sweeping the Gay Abortions Least concealed bigotry Another tough category but I had to go with E - Tinsley, because he held onto that theme for so goddamn long Laziest C - mass nomination Most easily reinterpreted A - Tinsley I honestly couldn't pick a worst, so I'm skipping that category. Best edit/parody E Thanks for subjecting yourself to all this garbage, Chamale!

Congratulations to Ramirez, if anyone deserved to win most of the "I am a terrible sack of poo poo" awards it was that guy. I knew he could do it. Also I'm really glad Ye Fowl Herald won, they're the only thing that kept me going through parts of this year's thread.

Karl Rove posted:The McCoys certainly tried hitting the blatant racism pretty hard in 2014, and all credit to them for trying, but they can't match Ramirez's subtlety and breadth. His five Gay Abortion awards are hard-earned. I think people just get inured to the McCoys and Lester- it's like "oh, grandpa's spouting bullshit again." But Ramirez is more surprising when he swings for the fences, and it's more angering because we know he has self-control to avoid such things.

Plus Ramirez is the editor for IBD, which means he has a lot more pull and exposure than the flying McCoys, or almost any other cartoonist really.

Being the editor also gives him significantly less accountability. A regular cartoonist could, at least in theory, have cartoons turned down for just being angry piles of scribbles with labels. Ramirez on the other hand IS the person who would say "uhhh Mike, this is is completely indecipherable, maybe don't scribble in every single bit of blank space???"

I'm happy with a 2nd place to Ye Fowle Herald, it's consistently funny whereas you might look at mine once, go mildly and temporarily insane and have to wait at least a year for the next instalment. Good to see Ramirez gets the recognition he deserves for being a creep. Maybe next year he should just be awarded the Ramirez Lifetime Achievement Award in the Field of Being The First Up Against the Wall When the Revolution Comes and be disqualified him from all other categories. He's going to keep sweeping the GAs otherwise.

I'll take pride in nominating the winning Middle East Kirschen, and taking second place in Worst Caricature with a cartoon I put together (and that is now the OP picture for Kirschen in the 2015 thread. )Now, onto Ramirez: Lycus posted:drat, so I guess Ramirez is indisputably the most hated cartoonist in the cartoon thread. Jurgan posted:I think people just get inured to the McCoys and Lester- it's like "oh, grandpa's spouting bullshit again." But Ramirez is more surprising when he swings for the fences, and it's more angering because we know he has self-control to avoid such things. TetsuoTW posted:Ramirez is a sniper where Lester runs around with a sawn-off shotgun firing toward every snapping twig. Ramirez doesn't always unload with truly offensive poo poo, but when he does he goes for a headshot.  )Kirschen still wins on Middle East and I/P issues, if only because he's turned the Bleach Bones parody into reality by openly calling for genocide.

fool_of_sound posted:Seven. For six different cartoons. He took the majority of categories. Ramirez really outdid himself this year--he only got a few last year and the rest were fairly well distributed across the usual suspects. Though I guess this year Kirschen and Foden are first-time GA winners so that's new. Also it's funny that Gorrell has not only won the laziest cartoon GA three years in a row, but every year his winning cartoon is even lazier than the one from the year before. Can he outdo himself again?

At this point either he has to forget to sign his own name, or neglect to submit a cartoon at all but his editors don't notice and print a blank space anyway.

I normally would peg McCoy and Lester as the bigger racists, whereas Ramirez tends to say something lovely and move on. But the protests this year really brought out his inner rear end in a top hat. It takes a lot to beat the McCoys at being petty bigots.

I think that's the key to it; For all Ramirez's ineptitude at polititooning, he has juuuust enough intelligence to be more than a petty bigot. It comes out a bit less often (possibly because he is himself a PoC so day-to-day racism and poo poo will be slightly less appealing, even to him), but when it does come out god drat, better watch out because there's nothing petty about it. The McCoys portray black people as troglodytes and looters, but that's little different from their usual fare and we've frankly grown inured to all but the worst of it - Ramirez put all his effort into a very detailed, Ramirez-train-tier detailed, picture of Michael Brown specifically to blame him for his own death.

Likewise it might be a good idea to rename the "Worst Caricature" category as the "Mike Ramirez Achievement in Non-Euclidean Anatomy" since I don't see him losing that category any time soon.
