I had a lot of trouble deciding whether "worst" means "worst opinions" or "worst expression of those opinions". Worst Middle East Cartoon: C Ramirez put in a good effort, but Kirschen's combination of really lovely artwork and an open call for genocide takes the crown. We can only hope that the crown is made of angry bees. Worst Police Brutality Cartoon: B This was a tough one but Ramirez edges out Rall and Braco. Worst Torture Report Cartoon: G I almost voted for D, but G's literally-the-opposite-of-reality approach offends me more. Worst The Interview Cartoon: A They're all poo poo but A manages to be both poo poo and incomprehensible label salad. Worst Cartoon About a Tragedy: H There's a lot of vile opinions in this category, and also a lot of "what the gently caress is this even trying to say". But in the end I have to go with Gorrell for lazily making GBS threads out a maple leaf and calling it a day. Worst Caricature: C Do I go with Ramirez's Captain Flatfish, or Kirschen's actual Nazi propaganda? A difficult choice, but in the end A inspired at least some chuckles for its sheer ineptitude while C inspires only loathing and horror. Dishonourable mention to D, which should win the "most easily mistaken for a bag of popcorn" category. Worst "A Thing Happened": D Ramirez makes a good effort with Ebola Gay, but [unreadable squiggle] races past him by turning "a thing happened" into "microsoft employees are literal parasites". Worst Label: G There are worse cartoons overall in this category but DEBT DEBT DEBT DEBT DEBT DEBT DEBT. The only other real contender is K, but that is somehow less visually offensive. Least Concealed Bigotry: C Holy poo poo in the end I just threw a dart  Laziest Cartoon: F Many of these cartoons are the result of basically zero effort on the part of what we laughably call the artist, but this one has the additional bonus of claiming that Turkey is bent on world domination. Most Easily Reinterpreted: B If it weren't signed "Ramirez" I would think this is genuinely and without sarcasm A Good Cartoon. Overall Worst: G It looks like someone threw up on my monitor. Best Edit: D Ye Fowle Herald, of course.

Choronzons son posted:Seems like Ramirez is trying to win it all, huh? I don't think Ramirez can sweep the awards as long as Kirschen is still working.

Lustful Man Hugs posted:I've never seen such a blatantly anti-biblical stance by a Conservative who wasn't also an Objectivist. The thing is, without a priori knowledge of Ramirez's politics, I honestly can't come up with any reading of that comic except "Obama is cutting the US's comically bloated defence budget and putting that money into the social safety net; A Good Policy". It's not like beating swords into ploughshares is meant to be a bad thing. It really deserved that win in the AGC category.
