Ted Rall is still making more on Patreon than I do every month.

(granted, he's been around far longer than I have, but still)

Also, I'm genuinely surprised that I'm the 3rd user with the most posts in the last thread. I figured I didn't post as much last year, but I was wrong, evidently.

From The New Yorker.

E:FB I need to read the thread first to make sure the same cartoon hasn't already been posted.

At least one (left wing) cartoonist said he's not gonna do a cartoon about it, because he found it too gross to even touch on.

I was browsing through "Medium Large" when I came across this strip:

Today's "Pearls Before Swine"



(for those who don't follow the strip, there was, indeed, a storyline where Rat ran for president during the election. This is only the most fitting conclusion)

Political Vs. Party




Thanks for the hot takes, man who wanted to be Jon Arbuckle when he grew up.

Okay, I haven't paid attention to "PvP" in over a decade. Wow, that's how the art looks now?

An alt-right shithead got punched in the face on live television today. That person who punched him did far more than what Rall would ever do.

(he had a Pepe pin on his shirt, to bring this on-topic to the thread)

EDIT: Oh, here's another "clown" cartoon to add to the pile:

My favorite part of that comic is that it went on sale a year before Pearl Harbor.
Yep, and that actually pissed off a lot of people when it first came out. Fiorello La Guardia, mayor of New York City at the time, had to call for police protection at the offices of Marvel Comics because they got so many death threats against them.

"Captain America" was, quite literally, created as a political statement against the Nazis.

Not just any alt-right shithead, the alt-right shithead. It was Richard Spencer, idol of Steve Bannon, white nationalist who openly advocates ethnic cleansing, and inventor of the term "alt-right". Someone else spit on him later. It's great.

Oh wow. That just makes it even sweeter, then.

I listened to an all-Woody Guthrie playlist at work today to drown out inauguration coverage, and given how many "America, get off your rear end and go fight Hitler" songs I heard, this fit right in.

Woody Guthrie also hated Donald Trump's father, and wrote songs about him.

Well, let's say it's someone with more talent attempting a similar aesthetic.

Uh, I don't see it, dude. I mean, I guess it has that "naive" school of cartooning, but otherwise there's absolutely nothing that suggests it's trying to look like Rall.

How many people are aware of Daryl Cagle's daughter, Susie (also a cartoonist)?

Needless to say, she's more "on the nose" than her dad.

Something I wondered. After the end of the WWII, what became of the German people who supported the Nazi party when they were around. Did they basically try to hide their involvement with them after they collapsed? Did they ever admit it was probably a bad idea to put them in power?

That's the most flattering Ramirez caricature I've seen in a while.

A reminder that Priggee once literally drew Mike Ramirez getting decapitated.

For context, "manga in newspapers" refers to Tokyopop's brief stint in Sunday comics. Around the same time that happened, Ramirez got laid off from the Los Angeles Times.

So in the light of recent going-ons at Fox News, Ted Rall wrote a post about what its like there, having appeared as guest on the network back in the days of Dubya.

There are some usual Rall-isms, but it's actually an interesting post. Sean Hannity really is a nutjob in person, even by Rall's standards.
