A new year brings new hope that MAYBE this year won't be full of as much hate and bile as 2014. I'm looking forward to the brief period of time before that hope is dashed, probably by Ramirez.Mister Beeg posted:The article doesn't mention why she was in jail: for stalking John Kricfalusi Oh dear, this is the first thing that came into my head.

For any of this to make sense, you must first understand that I truly despise myself. When I look into the mirror I see a wretched thing deserving of none of the niceties or joys that this mortal world might offer. What I am is only worthy of scorn and pain. Once upon I time I sought a professional to help my find my pain. She advertised in the back pages of an alt-weekly paper. Her services were everything I deserved- pain, humiliation, degradation. Crushing my genitals with the high heel boots I bought her just for the occasion. Spitting on me, reminding me I would never find love because I don’t deserve it. Then times weren’t good, and money was hard to come by, and I had to give up Mistress Lilith’s services. When the pain in my soul became too much, when I couldn’t stand even the sight of my own shadow anymore, I turned to steel. An old x-acto blade became my friend in those times, peeling back my skin, making me bleed and scream. Making me feel how I deserved. But the blade left marks where others could see. The truth of what I am was out on display and they judged me. Their judgment was flawed- they didn’t see me as the wretched thing I am, but as a fellow soul- a human, of all things- in pain and in need of help. The warmth of their compassion was more than I could bear, more than a disgusting thing such as myself could ever deserve, and it only made me hate myself more. What to do though? How could I punish myself, how could I scourge the dark mass of my heart without them ever finding out again? And that was when I was delivered. That was when I found my pain. That was when I found the unbearable agony I so richly deserve. I found it here, in this forum, and the demons sent to flay me bore names like Ramirez and Rall, Muir and McCoy. At last I have found my home, the filth I deserve to drown in. Each comic posted reminds me of how disgusting I really am, how much I deserve to suffer. So thank you, one and all, who post these visual blades, which cut me far more intimately than any mortal steel ever could. This is the thread I deserve. Happy New Year, you disgusting freaks. And now, some content:

15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. 16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Jonathan Pollard. 17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Obama said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Pollard, or Philip Robertson which is called Redneck? 18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. Ague Proof fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Jan 1, 2015 |

"Chianti-ti-ti".. Uh, is that supposed to reference the slither-slurping sound Lecter makes after delivering the same line? Try again, ranch hand. By the way, I just adore the way he has his characters converse with each other in newspaper-speak: "Psychologist Martin Newburn calls it.." "Hey Sam, Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) stated yesterday..." Also, OMG WTF MokBa posted:A lot of Bagley cartoons go overlooked in this thread. As Salt Lake guy who follows him on Facebook/Twitter, I can post his cartoons when they go overlooked. The thread usually misses a good 1/4th of them. I was kind of thinking this would be a neat idea - post cartoons from your local guy. For me, that would be Mike Smith, of the Las Vegas Sun, the left leaning, but waaaay-second fiddle to the much more popular and conservative Las Vegas Review-Journal. The R-J doesn't seem to have a resident cartoonist. Lately, they've been publishing some by some dude named F. Andrew Taylor, whose work is pretty apolitical and bland:  Smith has been around for a good long while, and is definitely the better cartoonist of the two, art-wise, though his subjects also veer to the beige side:  He does a bit better at routine-stand-up jokes:  And finally, how the heck did 'I Farted' miss the OP. That was like, the single greatest political cartoon of the year!

Two I don't get though: who's the guy holding the glue between Lester and Kirschen, and what's that on Ramirez's ham, is it the "Okay!" Rall face? Also just noticed blow up doll waifu poking out of the bottom of Muir's robe.

I was trying to see if there were any local(ish) cartoonists that I could add to the thread, but the only ones I could find were Bob Lang who seems to have stopped editorial cartooning in 2011 and the Indy Star's thread favorite Varvel. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw an editorial cartoon in a newspaper around here (other than Tinsley, that is.)

The guy between Lester and Kirschen is Gorrell. That is his self-portrait only I added some droopy eyes to it because of course the only thing he put effort into was his own vain rear end. Why he is holding glue should be self-explanatory.

I decided to check our local paper, but it's a piece of poo poo and doesn't have any local cartoonists. We just get whatever garbage they decide to run from the Gannett Group (usually stuff from Phoenix, Louisville, Indianapolis, etc.) Here's some cartoons: I liked this one. This is Steve Benson, who does cartoons for the Arizona Republic, the major newspaper in Phoenix.   This is Andy Marlette, from the Pensacola News Journal. His stuff is generic milquetoast liberal stuff, but I thought the thread would appreciate these.  Here's Marshall Ramsey from the Clarion Ledger, which is based out of Jackson, Mississippi.  Mike Thompson of the Detroit Free Press. I like it. (Note: The Free Press' website is actually Freep.com, which confused the poo poo out of me).  Someone was paid for this, and that someone is Roger Harvell of Greenville, South Carolina.  I don't know what the gently caress this is but Varvel made it.  Marc Murphy of the Louisville Courier-Journal. His stuff is mostly of the "A Thing Happened" variety.

Oh, gently caress you, Muir, gently caress you. If you knew enough about Munchausen's Syndrome to quote a credible psychologist, you would know that reputable doctors call it factitious disorder. That aside from the fact that everything else about this comic is wrong in every possible way. As for local cartoonists, my local paper ran a cool retrospective of Dwayne Powell's NC legislature cartoons from this year. I've never actually paid close attention to his cartoons, because the cartoonist in the paper that actually gets delivered to my house just draws hideous rams with Gosse-style labels, but Powell seems to be a GOP critic who's into goofy-looking mastodons and eldritch caricatures, so I'd be down to post him if people are interested. He's got a fun style and a flair for imagery. Here's a little sample, and there are a ton more here: http://www.newsobserver.com/powell/  In July, it was revealed that NC's state budget director Art Pope had been donating a massive amount of money to conservative campaigns and PACs through his family while preaching a hypocritical "finance reform" line.  This one's pretty self-explanatory ... there's been separate laws passed by the NC house and senate requiring Duke Energy to clean up its coal ash waste ponds. Neither bill addresses how the clean-up will be paid for (presumably by rate hikes to Duke Energy's customers, which is obviously contentious).  Here you can see Powell's charming mastodons. I'm also loving the 3-D flat earth map and the nib pen landing on the falconer's glove. The guy with the SEN bag is Senate Pres. Pro-Tem Phil Bergman, and smiley is House Majority Leader (and future US Senator!) Thom Tillis.  Here's Bergman and (a slightly more demented) Tillis again. The guy in the trunk is Skip Stam, notable rear end in a top hat from Wake County who I've had the displeasure of meeting in person, and who made me cry when I was 14 on a lobbying trip to the NC legislature! (Please ignore the weathervane ... or at least only admire its charming resemblance to Attorney General Roy Cooper.)
