God can you imagine how baffling this comic would be if you chanced upon it in a paper without knowing any one of the following bits of lame trivia: 1. Who she is 2. Why she's wearing the feather 3. Who she's meant to be giving a speech to and at who's confirmation hearing 4. Why she's referencing Coretta King 5. Who Coretta King is and what she was talking about 6. What Coretta King was talking about in a different letter 7. Why this is a sick burn Like that's a lot of assumed knowledge of talking points for the funny pages. edit: I guess what I'm saying is needs more labels

Yes, if rich people personally benefit from a bill it is surely a sign it is good for poor people.

I am sorry I posted without refreshing. On the plus side I think in australian common law this means gillian triggs automatically wins and gets a prize and gets to go home.

Ranter posted:So I read here a few times that Bill Leak had a stroke with lead to a noticeable increase in his racist and hateful cartoons. According to reddit it was actually a fall that caused brain damage not related to a stroke. Same result either way, but a clarification for anyone else like me that was under the wrong impression. Yeah I think the stroke is someone else.

Where are these loving weird public bathrooms where toilets aren't in lockable stalls? Do americans just have a line of open toilets up against the far wall or something?

About a month ago there was a political cartoon with some great soviet/big brother/dear leader style posters of Trump - like bold three colour designs. Does anyone remember who did them/where they are? I think it was Bors or Bennett but can't find them.

Kopijeger posted:Not convinced. It seems like the cartoonist believed that the Maginot line fell to direct attack because "the enemy was too dumb to realize" that it was impenetrable. That is absolutely the joke. The reference to the Maginot line is "An insanely expensive defence project to give you a false sense of security that the enemy will absolutely focus on finding a cheap, effective way to neutralise".

I know everyone else is already piling in on this terrible comic but jesus christ in one comic showing one and a half X-rays he alternates between three different x-ray labelling conventions.

Zelda is cool and good if not world-changing and having a new comic every now and then is a Good Thing.

Samurai Sanders posted:Are you serious? I thought someone said she got a cyborg body that looked like her old body. The movie starts with the major being told her brain was originally saved from a dying racially-non specified/presumably white "refugee" called Mira Killian. In the third act she learns her brain was forcibly taken from a Japanese-ethnicity protester called Motoko Kusanagi. The whole film is a non-direct adaptation with lots of nods to the source material so it feels well-intentioned but obviously struck a sour note with a lot of people.

Guys it might be too early to say, but I feel like Zelda's plan of moving in with her FWB isn't gonna pan out.

Does anyone have the Stephen Collins cartoon of the Queen reading out paint colours to prince Philip as a sort of dark surreal experimental film with him responding "that's pretty bloody good!"? Trying to explain it to a friend and failing miserably.

I get that I'm just being trolled by Branco but I struggle to see how any of his fans look at this and see themselves as the good guys.

Stickfigure posted:I like how Zelda is always with some dreamy dude, despite being probably the ugliest person in the comic roster and poor grooming. The funnier thing is last comic she explicitly said she wasn't interested and didn't want to hang out with him just because he bought them drinks but a couple of wines later and her terrible life choices gland kicks in.
