in the US, a shortage might actually lead their private employers to increase their salaries

It would be interesting to know if this was actually happening

A lot has changed in the past 250 years or so. Just wait until Mr Venti Frappuccino there finds out what happened with slavery.

You know, it might actually be worse in the UK because nurses' pay is pretty much set by the government whereas in the US, a shortage might actually lead their private employers to increase their salaries

It would be interesting to know if this was actually happening

Does this thread still follow Muir's horrific "Day by Day" series? I remember from a looooong time ago it was the worst of the worst (viewpoints/art/storyline/softcore porn) and subject of 80% of this thread's content, climaxing in the "MAH ROOSEVELTS" panel. Checking in on it now, it's pretty much where we would imagine it in 2021.

Not since Joe Lieberman has a single phony Democratic senator mnanaged to dupe so many naive progressive and centrist Democrats into looking like fools as he undermined a president's not-that-ambitious agenda. Joe Manchin has killed Build Back Better and dashed Democratic hopes for the foreseeable future.

Also a little bummed that BenG's latest rant does not feature a certain other former president. I guess he is winding up to pretend he never criticized his big wet boy.

I almost immediately happened upon a comic where the (teenaged?) daughters were drawn ridiculously over sexualized and overdeveloped and was too grossed out to continue on. Oh and apparently they have a Terminator.

Twelve by Pies posted:

I checked it out once out of morbid curiosity and the redheaded half Japanese mom invited her daughters to her annual skinny dipping party where her and her friends swam nude. The daughters were like 13, and evil liberal sister asks if they're too young, and the mom basically says it's fine. Muir then drew the children naked (though censored by things like leaves and branches), and had a comic where the Terminator is also naked for some reason, standing in front of them with his dong out for a while.

Okay I'll bite, why is that giant nurse teaching a class of disaffected youth?

only a few hours left to reach page 500. quick someone start an argument about ted rall again (please do not do this)

Amazing. Ted Rall's comic made me soften my view of Joe Manchin purely out of spite.

I hate Joe Manchin slightly less and it's Ted Rall's fault.

Stultus Maximus posted:

Literally the only non-draftsmanship problem with that Rall is saying that progressives were duped. They were not and were poo poo on by centrists for refusing to buy into conservadem bullshit.

Well, in light of this being the end of year, I'll bring you the finalists of the biggest prize in Dutch political cartooning:

1. Kamagurka



"Alright, which one of you has a vaccine passport?"

2. Gorilla



3. Tom Janssen



The faceless giant crushing the panicking citizens is labelled 'Government'. The text on his briefcase, 'Toeslagenaffaire' is a major political scandal that has been going on for the last few years. Basically, successive coalitions, all led by the same right-wing government, continuously pushed the revenue service to aggressively prosecute anyone suspected of fraud through the daycare tax credit system. The revenue service ended up, surprise, focusing particularly on families with foreign sounding names. Thousands of families were affected, doggedly pursued by the government for fraud even though they were innocent. And for the longest time the revenue service tried to keep this all under wraps, under the logic that if people found out about it, they might lose faith in the revenue service. We're still dealing with the fallout.

4. Len Munnik



5. Joep Bertrans



"We're going to do things a little differently from now on." The cartoon shows our once and future prime minister, Mark Rutte, who presided over the benefits scandal mentioned in #3. In spite of this, three of the four parties in government at the height of the scandal actually gained seats in the elections of March of this year.

Day by Day is the one cartoon banned from the thread. One arc ended with marital rape as a comedic punchline and it turns out that once banned no one missed it.

I expect at least three cartoons of Betty White approaching the Pearly Gates with the other three Golden Girls waiting for her on the other side.

Happy New Year To All

I must admit I have not had much success at predicting the future. Aside from picking Donald Trump to win the presidency in 2016, most of my predictions have been flops. I predicted bitcoin would go nowhere because I thought it was a scam. I thought silver would be at $100 by now. I predicted that Trump would drain the swamp and Hillary would be locked up. Instead, the swamp expanded and Trump might face Clinton in a 2024 rematch. The swamp was much deeper and wider than anyone realized and now has been exposed.

Regardless of my inept pondering in the past, here are my predictions for the not-so-distant future. It required some deep orb pondering and yes, we at GrrrGraphics actually do have a real crystal ball, which we’ve mostly used for taking unusual photos.

The Covid hysteria will not go away. It has been an advantageous tool for tyrants around the world. It’s a very effective means of drumming up fear and obeisance. Fear has driven far too many to take experimental gene therapy injections. One of my sources presented this in an email today: The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, or VAERS, reports 19,886 deaths, 102,857 hospitalizations and a total of 946,461 adverse events due to COVID-19 vaccines through Dec. 3. None of them can sue the vaccine makers. They have complete immunity. Does that immunity bring about responsibility, accountability, or better science? No. But it does make Big Pharma fabulously richer and that’s what this is about—money and control. Not health. Their vaccines don’t even work—Bill Gates even admitted it but he still wants to make them mandatory! If that’s not a wake up call, what is?

The VAERS numbers are probably much higher since many do not report. The numbers are a dire warning NOT to take the jabs, but too many citizens have been programmed by state media to want a third and fourth jab even though their own bodies tell them NO! We, the vaccine free, are currently being vilified as monsters. Trudeau, the fiendishly fascist tyrant of Canada, announced that those who do not get vaccinated against COVID-19 are “racist and misogynistic extremists.” Really? That’s a colossal lie even for the psychopathic Prime Minister, but he also went on to state, rather ominously, whether the rest of Canada needs to “tolerate” the unvaccinated. Such pronouncements are similar to Hitler’s denunciations of the Jews. Trudeau has also sent his government goons to physically assault reporters working for Rebel News, one of the few conservative news organizations in Canada. Canadian banks are refusing mortgages to some conservatives there. How far will Trudeau take this? As far as he can if there is no resistance.

Fauci continues to operate under the delusion that he is a god who gets to tell us how to conduct our personal lives. His so-called science has been soaked in the acid of politics. He and the CDC’s science quickly change depending on how much push back we citizens might display. We must all remember that Fauci’s decades as the top health ‘official’ in the US has been an unmitigated disaster. Our nation’s health has declined precipitously under his over-paid rule. Fauci gave millions of dollars in taxpayer money to the communist Chinese so they could develop ‘gain of function’ for their bioweapon. The thoroughly corrupt Fauci is a dangerous liar and beagle torturer. He should be locked up for his malfeasance.

We the People have not stood up for ourselves enough, and as a result the tyrannical monsters have become drunk with power. They will continue to marginalize and threaten peaceful citizens who demand to have the final say about what goes into their bodies. If they keep pushing for mandatory vaccines, it will lead to violence. The globalist bullies are sticking their collectivist nose into everyone’s private matters. Bullies only respect a punch in the nose. Americans must not give up firearms like they did in Australia.

Hillary is back on the scene and it’s obvious she wants power. She’s like a shark that must swim to keep alive and that’s why she’s constantly in the state media. If there is a way for her to return the White House she will make it happen. Oh, but what about her husband Bill’s 27 trips to Epstein’s ‘Orgy Island?’ Will the convicted Maxwell spill the beans on Clinton’s pedophilia? More likely we’ll see the end of Ghislaine or maybe even the end of Bill. Hillary the obsessive won’t let anything stand in the way of her presidency.

The climate will continue to change. The ruling class will relentlessly drum up their climate change hysteria to help usher in their economy-destroying green nonsense. (Meanwhile, China is building new coal-burning plants). The globalists are using the weather as well as cold and flu to dominate and control us by means of fear and their high-tech surveillance system. We must not exchange our freedom for their socialist, utopian ’safetyism’ that in reality keeps them safe while it endangers the freedoms of everyone else.

— Happy New Year from GrrrGraphics!
