Last year we started off the thread reminiscing about all the parodies we did over the previous year, perhaps we should kick off 2015 in the same way?

Kelly is pro-torture, and thinks the new senators will release a new torture report that will glorify the CIA techniques. A classy move.

Payne is a manbaby fan of cars. Like I say in the index, he has space on his blog for reviewing cars, and I guess he's something of a purist and wants BIG SPEEDY MUSCLE CARS and not hybrid cars for hippy girls.

Like this is stuff he posts

I used to live with a car enthusiast. Like this guy owns a forum dedicated to his favorite kind of car. I hung out with a lot of car guys and they all have this mentality. I've heard one person say it's better to drive fast and keep your engine revved high because it knocks the carbon out, meaning you'll spend less on maintenance, even if it means using more gas.

I remember looking up on a mazda car forum for ways to improve gas mileage for my mazda 6, the most popular comment was "open up your engine and dumb a bunch of poo poo in there because that's what you deserve for caring about fuel economy so much."

I hate car forums.

If anyone hasn't read the article, Omar's premise is essentially trying very hard to deliver sick burns to Tumblr-style SJWs. He ironically uses "cis-gendered white male" like five times. None of it is particularly funny.

This comic makes even less sense than usual, because Michigan had a rotten season and fired both their athletic director and head coach for it.

Also their old AD was a blowhard obsessed with "the brand" and sat up all night sending pissy emails to alumni and fans who emailed him. Their old "marketing" officer got fired for insulting former players and bragging about Cadillac ads that pissed everyone off on campus. The president, who is brand new and came from Brown, has had almost no experience with big-time athletics and is actually very concerned about balancing athletics and academics. He has done everything right so far, with tact and dignity.

In summary, gently caress you Tinsley, you alcoholic hack.

It's also funny to consider that they just hired one of the biggest coaches in football afterward too.

The Tea Party assures you that they were just as vocal opponents of the NSA under Bush as they are under Obama, honest. And since they didn't actually exist in any real sense at the time you'll just have to take their word for it.

(Branco is very conscientious about labeling his elephants GOP EST whenever he criticizes them so everyone knows he is not impugning the honor of the noble Tea Party)

The tea partiers existed, they were just known as Neocons, aka Republicans crazier than Bush. They just didn't band together till a black manObama entered the Oval Office.

I mean I don't want to defend Latuff, but I feel like the point he was trying to make was that this war powers vote against ISIS could lead down to another endless war like the wars in Iraq / Afghanistan. If that was his intention, then he did a terrible job portraying it.

A good political cartoonist is one that has pleasing images with a clear message, regardless of what their opinion is.

Allie, Latuff, Bennett and Asay are good at this. Ramirez is not.

Hrmmmmmmm.

Asay was absolutely a good illustrator, but:



He had a tendency to assume that his views were more mainstream than they actually were, and use stuff like bicycles the way another cartoonist would use swastikas. Otherwise, this is totally true though, and when he wasn't looking at the world through They Live glasses he was pretty clear.

Edit: man I feel like a gross pedant now. Yeah on the whole Asay was a skilled political cartoonist because even when his message was at its least clear, you'd say to yourself, "I dunno, you tell me." Unlike Michael "George Bush drove the economy, which is fueled by taxes, off a cliff" Ramirez, who at his most lucid makes "pee pee, doo doo" grade cartoons.

Like any cartoonist, Asay sometimes draws a cartoon that can be easily misinterpreted. Bennett has off days too. But for example, this famous Asay cartoon:



Pretty easy to understand, and he has a cute kid saying it. The message is very clear, and easily agreeable to those who share his viewpoints.

I'm glad the guy retired, cause he was really drat effective at spreading hate in an almost cute way.

Man, at my work, watching porn doesn't even get you fired. It's only worthy of a write-up. A dude got caught watching porn twice and still didn't get fired because there wasn't enough evidence to justify a firing by my company's policies. It was only until he fell asleep at work and was caught because lying on your timecard seems to be the only thing that gets you canned.
