Rorus Raz posted:Yaakov Kirschen - Extremely old, extremely hateful American-born Israeli. He has been steadily employed for over 40 years, doing Dry Bones for the Jerusalem Post despite an eight-year-old’s talent. Hates Muslims with a fierce passion, and is obsessed with freeing the spy Johnathan Pollard from American prison. Had a stroke in late 2014 that seems to have made him even more paranoid and hateful, turning his gaze upon “traitorous” pro-Palestinian Jews.  I wanted one single Gay Abortion picture that showed just how loving crazy Kirschen has gotten over the past year, so I decided to combine all of Kirschen's "playing cards" into one single image of hatred. That picture would make a Nazi propagandist proud.As a fun reminder, Johnathan Pollard is technically eligible for parole in November 2015.  The US (more specifically, some of the various three letter US intelligence agencies) has indicated that any request for Pollard's release/parole will be met with "hahaha gently caress no" as a response, and Israel blew their one chance to get his freedom in April 2014. Back in April, the US offered Pollard to Israel as a way to keep Israel at the negotiating table with the Palestinians, and Israel said no (because Pollard is just something for Israel to complain about, they don't actually care about his freedom). Kirschen had a different interpretation, of course:

CampingCarl posted:I pretty much already do this for Dees. Some others probably have de facto dedicated posters too but I never paid much attention to who posts what. I follow Bennett, Bors, and Sorensen on Facebook, and I really like getting the scoop on their new cartoons and posting them before anyone else can, but I never really saw the need to formalize that

It's probably more appropriate for the less well known and non-US cartoonists, as someone keeping an eye on those can provide context a bit more easily (for instance I wouldn't really know or care what was going on in the Canadian cartoons if whoever kept posting them wasn't explaining them). For the usual peanut gallery someone will get to them pretty quickly because it's fun to get the drop on this thread, so probably no need to worry about it. I'll try to round up at least one or two Australian cartoonists doing decent work on Aboriginal or refugee issues this year and post regular updates if that's a possibility (it might not be possible because there might not be any).

Which reminds me, I must get round to asking permission to post the lecture of his on the History of Political Cartoons that I recorded last November. It's good, you'll like it (even if you can hear me doing the Vader in the background).

I just realized that Kirschen is right next to Latuff in the OP. Admittedly it's just because the OP lists the cartoonists by their last names in alphabetical order, but it's still funny as hell to me. Relatedly:quote:Carlos Latuff – Drew SSJ Goku assfucking Chilean president Sebastián Piñera.   http://www.indybay.org/uploads/2011/06/06/goku_super_sayajin_pinera.gifI remain rather amused that Latuff is familiar enough with DBZ to draw SSJ3 Goku so recognizably. Not to mention that even in his sillier cartoons, Latuff still puts a solid effort into what he's drawing, and makes the cartoon look as good as he can.

In case anyone wants them here are my toons from the past couple of years in one easy-to-find spot: Big ones 2012:  2014:   Smaller things:    After reading this thread for six months I'll probably automatically spit out another big one but if anyone has any ideas that they'd like me to work on with them I will generally be down. I have to say I enjoyed working with Beeg and I think the extra collaboration makes for a better horrible monument to political cartooning that I could do alone. Edit: Forgot about this collaboration with Mr Beeg:

When I was doing the edit I really wanted that rear end in there, but I didn't have to move the obligatory Korner Kelly, so I flipped it. This, of course, flipped the Ensure logo. I was going to fix it, but then I remembered that this was originally from a Cagle cartoon, so I gave it a more fitting treatment.

She hasn't done a lot recently but she's nearly on par with Latuff for how often you'll see her stuff at protests and scattered around any kind of indie site. E:  also she's just good clean fun.

The fact that Palestine just signed onto the ICC (International Criminal Court) and might soon actually be able to sue Israel for war crimes means some rather interesting Dry Bones could be in the works for the new year.

I can't wait to see more Kirschen in the New Year. He's gone so off the deep end this year that he made trading cards that would fit right at home in an exhibit about Nazi propaganda I can't wait to see how he tops himself. Maybe calling for a final solution for the (fake)Jews who seek to undermine
