Christ, what a decade. There was a lot, and you could count on there always being political cartoons commenting on it. But political cartooning is a decaying business, composed of mostly legacy positions filled by hacks who are long past their heyday but continue to pump out crap because their editors are likely going to close the position when they die or retire. The internet has given way to some hope for a new breed of independent cartoonists, and there is legitimately good work out there, but then you have loving alt-right Nazis pumping out content and Sturgeon's Law has never rung so true. The voting is simple: the nominees are what you the people voted as the worst cartoon every year. To provide something positive in here, there is also a list of the best Edit or Parody for each year. There is one hitch: the annual awards began in 2012, leaving gaps in the nominations. So here's how it will work: nominations for those missing years will go on until next Sunday. Then another week to vote for the worst/best of those years. Then we'll have the final list and vote. Need help with nominations? Check out the old threads: 2012 Thread (Edit/Parody Only) 2011 Thread 2010 Thread And now, here are the current nominees: 2019 Worst Cartoon  The fact that Gorrell actually decided it was worth putting effort into this cartoon using a horrific violation of human rights as a metaphor for the most banal of political opinions, really helped it win the aware for worst of 2019. Best Edit/Parody  Pilchenstein knew that you never bet against Johnny Five Aces, leading to a win for this lovely Garrison edit. 2018 Worst Cartoon  Delonas and grotesque take on the Kavanaugh confirmation allowed him to take the 2018 award with ease. Best Edit/Parody  This uncredited edit of Garrison's cult-like devotion to Trump won the hearts of goons that same year. 2017 Worst Cartoon  Glenn McCoy may no longer do political cartoons, but he left his mark with this tone-deaf take on the Rockwell classic. Conseratives have a weird fixation with The Problem We All Live With. Best Edit/Parody  My send-up of the numerous terrible 2016 Worst Cartoon  A toxic slurry of misogyny, racism, and transphobia led this Garrison to take the win over his other cartoon which was also runner-up. Best Edit/Parody  World Famous W showed us that sometimes simple is best with this beautiful Branco edit. 2015 Worst Cartoon  Lang's grotesque cartoon felt like a throwback to the new racist era spawned in the wake 9/11 as opposed to something from 2015. Best Edit/Parody  My Net Neutrality edits actually generated some very mild attention outside the thread. Well, at least my fifteen minutes of fame went towards a good cause. 2014 Worst Cartoon  Police violence was finally breaking into mainstream news, and the thread reminded Ramirez that ACAB. Best Edit/Parody   Saint Sputnik's Ye Fowl Herald is a long-running treat for the thread, and in 2014 he got the nod for this fantastic series. 2013 Worst Cartoon  Ramirez's ghoulish cartoon trying to spin Benghazi into 9/11, complete with weird internal logic, easily took it in 2013. Best Edit/Parody  A Hungry Mouth opened the bud gates to give us this amazing piece of work. 2012 Worst Cartoon  Gary McCoy managed to prove his inferiority by getting the award before his brother in this misogyny-ridden piece of filth. Edit/Parody Award TBD! 2011 Worst Cartoon TBD! Edit/Parody Award TBD! 2010 Worst Cartoon TBD! Edit/Parody Award TBD!
