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.

I'm more shocked that Albert Uderzo is alive.

My friend had Asterix cartoons on VHS and we watched those on occasion.

It's a shame he never quite had the writing part down, because his art was tremendous and contributed enormously to making Asterix so good, but once Goscinny died the great art by itself wasn't enough to cover for the decline in writing.

Still, they went out on a high note as a team:

Well based on one of the right-wing talking points from back in the 90s, she's already served two terms as President and they were pretty loving great.

That last part was NOT one of the right wing talking points.

(it was her buying the Charger that forced the family into a trailer)

Just a reminder that they'd been living beyond their means for years at that point and Waifu had no idea because Zed had been deliberately hiding that information from her and insisting that everything was going fine. When the Charger broke the camel's back, he admitted they'd been on the verge of bankruptcy for years and he hadn't told her, and she apologized for HIS financial mismanagement exacerbated by his macho pride and stubborn refusal to admit fault. He then forgave her and she counted herself lucky to have such an understanding and tolerant husband.

This is not me putting a spin on events for a joke, these are the actual events as they transpired in Muir's own comic, as written by him.

Nah it'll just be like with their memories of the Clinton administration during the Obama years, you'll get Republicans complaining about Hillary refusing to work with them and pointing to all the great compromises they were able to come to with Obama (including taking credit for the Affordable Cart Act) and bemoaning that she refuses to build a solid working relationship with them like he did.

They will say this believing it 100% genuinely in their hearts.

I'm not sure I get this, unless it's Churchill's legacy crushing whichever people are represented holding the coffin (I only recognize Cameron). What's the modern UK's relationship with Churchill, anyway? From what I've read of him, it seems like he was kind of a dick, while also being kind of admirable, so I guess I don't know what to think.

From the cartoon, it seems to me to be showing how Churchill's legacy hides a darker truth - notice where the flag draped over the coffin has come loose to show scrawled into the coffin some of the things Churchill has been criticized for, or the fact the giant coffin blocks the view of the starving people, and how the former symbols of industrial strength and the working man (the cranes that famously bowed during Churchill's State funeral) have been replaced by skyscrapers, banks, and other financial institutions. The current day politicians seem to be staggering under the weight of Churchill's coffin, but it's also providing cover and protection for them by draping themselves in his reputation.

That's my take on it, anyway.
