Mike Thompson isn't the most interesting cartoonist, but I like posting him so that Payne isn't the only representative of Detroit in this thread. Thompson is also the only cartoonist who still cares about Flint.

I don't know what it is, but Stiglich pisses me off more than any other cartoonist for some reason. Branco and Garrison are so over the top with their work that you can't help but laugh most of the time. With Stiglich, well... he always tries to throw in some low-effort zinger that you can almost feel as if he's saying "Heh! That'll show em!" each time he draws a cartoon. That, and the amount of times he drew Hillary with sunglasses as if she were blind is pettiness to the levels of Lester always drawing Obama with a rainbow tie.

Even Ted Rall believes in the genius of Ted Rall. Stiglich just seems like a worthless nihilist. Him and Marlette.

For those of you wondering, Eric Lewis, i.e. the Animal Nuz guy, posted his last cartoon in September, after which he went to Florida to work as a field organizer for Hillary's campaign. He said at the time that he'd resume cartooning in November, but after certain events intervened, it seems like now he's focusing more on organizing and is looking for a full-time job in progressive politics. He hasn't said anything about Animal Nuz being over, but it doesn't look to be returning for a while. I will be ready to bring it back when it does.

It's the opposite, it's critical. The comic is saying that instead of actually draining the swamp of DC, all of the people that make up the swamp have moved to Foggy Bottom, a particularly wealthy section of DC where high-ranking federal employees often live, and where many major executive agencies (like the state department) are.

The labeling on the wall is confusing, as is the inside baseball reference to a DC neighborhood.

"Foggy Bottom" is shorthand for the State department, she's not referring to the literal neighborhood. Benson is justifying our lack of a functioning State department by grouping all the officials that Trump fired with the "swamp."

If Trump's presidency kills off "both sides are the same" for all time it might be worth it. This would of course require the sacrifice of Ted Rall, but I think that's a sacrifice worth making.

They could have taken a page from the republican playbook and became massive obstructionists.

But I guess if the brazen lies and hypocrisy that happened during the supreme court Garland appointment fiasco didnt inspire them then probably nothing will.

I mean, exactly two bills have been signed by Trump, both very minor. Whether that's due to Democratic obstruction or Republican incompetence, Congress isn't giving Trump anything. This is when passing laws should be easy!

Am I missing something? It's been less than a month. I'm guessing that it'd be difficult to send much through the pipeline by this point even if they'd drafted it well in advance.

At this point in Obama's presidency, he'd signed Lily Ledbetter and expanded the CHIP program, and the stimulus package had been passed by both houses of Congress.

It's easier to pass legislation in the first 100 days than at any other time in the term. The Republicans have had eight years to prepare for this, yet nothing. I think a big part of that can be attributed to the Dems taking the Cabinet nominations to task.

There is literally no form of resistance pure enough for Ted Rall. When the Dems actually do what he wants (Two whole bills! Letting the Republicans figure out ACA repeal unassisted!) he still pretends they're traitors to the glorious revolution.

It is legitimate and wise strategy to continue to be tough on politicians even after they do what you want. However, Rall and his ilk have neither the skill not the perspective needed to pull this off. When you can't even acknowledge progress, people learn to ignore you because you will never say anything that you haven't said already.

There wasn't much outrage over cheeseguy's "man on the street" panel that was as close to an actual lynching photo as you can get. Get it? The joke is that an innocent man was killed! LOL!

It's not a very famous picture, though, or a prominent cartoon. I suppose if a conservative cartoonist tried to riff on the Emmett Till open casket photo that would be more monstrous.

Basically, I'm wondering aloud whether The Problem We All Live With is the greatest political cartoon in American history.
