Muslims: known for their love of keeping dogs as pets.

A cat would've been more appropriate (everyone knows muslims love cats) but the common expression is "lap dog", so this reads better.

A big cause of death before modern medicine was getting a bug that caused rampant shits and dehydrating to death. These days, that's a trip to the hospital for a drip. Even over-the-counter rehydration salts could have saved a lot of our ancestors. The human body isn't terribly logical especially in the digestive system which seem to have the programming "catch error: dump all."

That's pretty much the default response to sensory shenanigans. Motion sickness is your body assuming that these weird readings must mean that you've been poisoned so time to empty that belly.

Woah.

This.... this author is still alive?

Sean Delonas is alive and well, although he doesn't work for a newspaper anymore. The New York Post fired him a couple years ago (not for that cartoon) and he took a hiatus for a while after that.

He does the American cartoons that are grotesque like British cartoons.

The most off-putting part is honestly the way Trump and King Salman's heads are pasted onto bodies that look absolutely nothing like them. Force ghost Kissinger has nothing on Trump with normal body proportions.

Why is the gargoyle labeled "Radical Islam"? Did he decide he wanted to put that on there to stick it to NOBAMA but forgot to leave room for it?

Clearly, radical islam was placed there to share away evil spirits that may otherwise roost in the rafters of Notre Dame. But it isn't working on ISIS, for obvious reasons.

Rall is terrible even when it comes to spouting propaganda for a fascist regime. I honestly wonder if he sees it as just a paycheck or if he thinks of it as revenge against america and more specifically the newspapers that won't hire him.

So I actually live in Illinois, but not in a good part, I'm like 3 hours southwest of Chicago on the border with Iowa. So of course, 90% of the interactions you have here are with people who either really like Trump or don't see anything wrong with him. So to everyone else: whenever people bitch about how bad Chicago is and suggest we make Illinois and the Chicago area two different states, do you usually just assume there's some racist undertones?

Like for one, and I could be completely wrong here, doesn't that Chicago area probably provide enough income to (somewhat) take care of the rest of this big-rear end state? Separating the two just seems like you'd have one bustling and wealthy area that's just surrounded by small towns and family farms that are slowly being absorbed by corporate ones.

Also, I feel like people (at least around here) just think of Chicago as a black city. Which is where I get the idea that there are racist undertones. Because otherwise, why would removing Chicago from Illinois be beneficial?

It's definitely somewhat racist, but that's also just how the rural-urban divide works. You hear the same thing here in Washington with regards to Seattle vs eastern washington. They don't like being beholden to The City, and want to break away, despite the fact that their way of life is subsidized by taxes that come primarily from that city.

The benefit world be removing liberal voters from the equation. Not having Those People telling them how to live their lives and so on.

Recently I read poll data that says Republican voter opposition to gay marriage is dropping and is only at like 50% now. I'm still a little dumbfounded that the right gave up that fight so easily, when just a few years ago it was being sold as an existential crisis for human society and whatever.

Once it's legalized and society doesn't actually collapse, those arguments really lose their teeth. Also it was a supreme court ruling and thus not really actionable without an insane congressional majority.

So it seems Trumpcare's gone belly-up for the time being. Was there any cartoonist left who actually supported it? Some shits like Ramirez et al were quick to pre-emptively adopt the "WELL ACTUALLY THIS IS BAD BECAUSE IT DOESN'T GET RID OF ENTITLEMENTS" position, others were a bit more nebulously against it, but was anyone actually for it?
Matter of fact, I don't remember Garrison letting out a single peep about healthcare.

Garrison doesn't give two shits about actual policy. Because he's a libertarian at heart and thus can't really tow the GOP party line.

The only people likely to actually shed a tear over trumpcare itself and not just continue railing against obamacare are Branco and probably Rall, somehow.

In this analogy, Obi-wan is just still better at lightsaber fighting than Vader, and gets away scot-free. Vader shakes his fist but consoles himself with the fact that Obi-wan will die of old age soon anyway.

Obamacare is a tragic figure cobbled together from different parts and only barely functional, but it is still deserving of love and is blameless in its creation. The ignorant townsfolk hate and fear it, and try to round up a mob to kill Obamacare, but are luckily foiled by laziness and incompetence. A Good Cartoon and An Apt Metaphor.

I think it's got to be some kind of law that 80% of all British politoons are set on the white cliffs of Dover.
It's only been ramping up, too. Every goddamn comic is someone perched on or striding off the cliff.

Probably doesn't help that the film Dunkirk features them pretty prominently. You know how those Brits love to combine A Thing Happened with A Political Thing Happened.

Imagine if someone made a comic about how the people fighting Isis are just as bad or in fact THEY are the victims and how fast that person would be fired.

There are already lots of cartoons that portray refugees fleeing ISIS as terrorists coming to infiltrate the US.

Are there any good alternate history thinking on what such a victory would actually result in? (I know the mockumentary but that's not quite what I mean)

...

I'm updating my Garrison profile, and I need a cartoon by Wyatt Mann or one of his colleagues with a perfidious Jew ordering a black man around.

There is a ridiculous number of books about it. Not to mention movies and TV and games and speculative articles. It's a real dead horse topic at this point. Can't really point out any particularly good ones, though.
