It may be an election year but without Muir it's not an erection year.

Which is fine. I'm fine with the Fuckbarn being the last hurrah of attention we gave to it.

God only knows what 2016 has to hold. I'm going to be optimistic though.

It's going to be a good year for political cartoons. Years where republicans are fighting a losing battle always are.

To be honest, banning DbD is probably going to be the hardest on Chris Muir. The poor guy probably really liked the attention. We probably made up about half of his readership.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I take umbrage at Payne's style being anything but derided. Everything about his cartoons ooze laziness. At least Gorell has uplifted phoning it in into his own art.

Well I guess I'll do a toon dump a little early since the other thread is already closed. Call it a mega dump since there's no new toons in this thread yet. I dedicate this dump to the memory of Chris Muir.

I'll just get the aneurysm started off early with the least surprising final Allie of 2015.

Randal Enos – aka E N O S. Stylish liberal, often works with woodcuts.


JFYI he works in linocut, not woodcut. Linoleum is a lot softer than wood, so it's much faster to cut but doesn't hold detail as well.

Because it's easy to make big thick lines in linocuts, they tend to look nice and stylized:


Woodcuts force you to work in detail so they tend to stay detailed (I think this is an intaglio woodcut but gently caress doing research I've got a lack of DbD to moan about):


Both of them are black and white, so any shading has to be done with hatching, crosshatching, or dithering.

Anyway here's another linocut, the one that made me think of Enos in the first place:

The Fuckbarn was a "storyline" in day by day, wherein our rugged self suficient hero bravely took over his Dad's ranch that was the size of half of texas for no money, kicked his dad out of the barn he was living it, and turned it into a country club. Of course the thread, after getting constantly blueballed by it, started speculating an exclusive club ina barn in rural texas would be used exclusively for gay sex.

I have to imagine the intended message is actually "Hillary is a bigger influence on ISIS than Trump," or, more generously, "Hillary is a symptom of government corruption, which is a bigger influence on ISIS than Trump," but it's an incredible failure of a cartoon.

Nobody said anything about being "vile". It just became more and more about boobs and MRA personal agendas and less and less about politics.

The "gay sex" speculation came from the part where it was a men-only club for men to do manly things WITHOUT THE MEDDLING INFLUENCE OF WOMEN, who are banned from the man-club. It was a Safe Space for men which you can't find anywhere else. Also, the wife and sister were made to work there, topless, for some reason.

Anyone who kept reading DbD after the fuckbarn was confirmed to not be a gay sex club only has themselves to blame.

Last year, Muir shambolically tried to start a storyline about his characters starting a Gentlemen's Club for men only, no chicks allowed except as naked waitresses. The philosophy behind this club became more homoerotic the more Muir detailed it, until it became painfully obvious that it was basically a gay cathouse, wherupon it was christened the Fuckbarn. Somehow they managed to create this thing, I guess, and its customers included Sam Elliott (the real one) and Trump-sama. And then it burnt down in a dream sequence, and possibly also reality (we'll never know now).

Still going on to date. I think the straw that broke the camel's back vis-a-vis the vileness issue was when Damon anally raped his wife for the sake of a pun in a Sunday strip and it was laughed off by Tuesday.

I disagree about it not being political anymore; even a set of comics about anal rape was used to burn liberals or something stupid. It's still become basically a porn comic at it's root so I don't care that it's banned but I don't think it's any less political than some of the other regular toons (JRRose! is basically posted for dad puns at this point.)

There's a difference between something being political and being about politics, and redpill nonsense is firmly in the former camp.
