Bullwinkle co-creator Bill Scott wrote on a ton of those anti-communist cartoons.

The thing is, the man was a blazing socialist, and he felt rather dirty that he had to write cartoons that basically said that his beliefs are wrong and evil. Every time he tried to quit, the studio gave him a raise. Eventually, he finally had enough and quit, extra money be damned.

drat, I wish I lived in a generation where you didn't have to choose between your morals and starvation.

With all these UK cartoons coming in, would anyone mind if I started posting old Giles bits?

Alrighty, it's Giles time.

Carl Giles was a pretty drat good editorial cartoonist between the 40s and the 70s, did pieces mainly for the Daily Express.



His cartoons were mostly like this, single panel with a caption and the understanding that his readers would have the spare time to go over all the action.



As far as political leanings went, he was usually on the left, but occasionally would hint towards centre-right on a few issues. Here we see him demonstrating situational irony - for those who can't see it, the fellow on the left is protesting the conditions of ambulance drivers and encouraging the strike.



This one showcases the regulars of his comics - the family. You'll see this lot in a great deal of his comics alongside Chalky the schoolteacher. Pay attention to that loving grandma.



Just look at that.

In any case, Giles was super popular as editorial cartoonists go. He even got a bronze statue of one of his characters made and placed in front of his old workstation in Ipswitch!

What's happened is terrible, but at least my news isn't that bad.

I can't find a good archive for Giles. But I think I'll be able to start scanning a mate's books (He's an old Irish bloke who's one helluva fan) in a few days. We still cool with that?

Because jihadists are proponent of the "clash of civilization" hypothesis and want to see a World War III of the righteous defenders of the faith against the decadent heathens.

Their enemies aren't the xenophobic, racist, islamophobic, etc. Their enemies are those who fight for tolerance and universal brotherhood.

Actually, if you're a crazy anti-Zionist, this is the exact sort of thing that would seem amazingly rational to you. Why would a bunch of crazy jihadists attack some comic-makers of all people?? Now, if Mossad did it, it incites violence against Muslims, that furthers their goals!!

Where was that graphic that stated that more than half those polled in Gaza/Saudi Arabia believed that 9/11 was committed by Zion?
