The first cartoon of the new thread is Garrison with a direct call for coup and political violence. I don't imagine that's a great omen for the coming year.

Somfin posted:We've only been seeing the woke lads in a negative light, these MAGA dudes have only just shown up, now, in 2020's hour of need He's spent literally years banging on about how the woke zombies are bad. As far as I know this is the first time we have seen the MAGA guys, when they show up to fight the group that the artist has gone out his way to define as the enemy. I would say he's accidentally created pro right wing militia propaganda, but I'm not sure there is anything accidental about it. Seriously, just look at the color comics, it's indistinguishable from "sheepdog" propaganda.

The federal timetable was supposed to be 20 million doses administered by the end of 2020, estimated doses given at this point is about 4 million. We are only at 20% of where we are supposed to be. If anything, Joe's prediction is looking hella optimistic. People at home give a poo poo about halftime shows? I thought that was when the broadcast goes to commercial and the viewers go to the bathroom?

Moon Slayer posted:I mean, yeah, that is kind of how it works. Once you take that vial out of the freezer it's use it or lose it. When I went in yesterday for my first shot the registration people were all worked up about the fact that the doctor who was on the schedule before me hadn't shown up and they couldn't get ahold of her. So they called down to the Emergency Department and literally said "hey if anyone down there wants to get theirs now send them up." This is how I got mine last week. At the end of vaccine clinic for the day, they had x extra doses from no shows. They just started calling the floors saying any clinician who wanted one should come down, first come first serve till they ran out. That said, the cartoon is clearly about how the Trump administration hosed up the rollout. States received far smaller amounts then planned because the federal government failed to tell Pfizer on where to ship the vaccine. It's why the distribution is so far behind, doses were been sitting in Pfizer's warehouse waiting for shipping instructions. I dont know fucked around with this message at 03:09 on Jan 6, 2021 |

VitalSigns posted:Everyone is focusing on the other stupidity, but looks like Ben's friendship with Pence has ended Same as with Barr, the second Trump turns on someone, MAGA world unpersons them instantly regardless of how much they liked them previously. They now regards Pence as the worst sort of traitor, because Trump wanted Pence refuse to certify the electors and name "alternative electors" to declare Trump won. I can't imagine Pence is happy that his 4 years of bootlicking service was rewarded by Trump sending an armed lynch mob after him. Trump explicitly told his cult that they needed to "show strength" to the weak republicans. Pence's family was at the capital with him, several members of the MAGA insurrections were chanting "Where's Pence?" There is not a doubt in my mind that they would have killed him if they found him.

Niric posted:Jesus. Imagine being so broke brained that you see those pictures from DC and think the angry mob were the plucky underdogs Recent Yougov survey has 45% of republicans approve of protesters storming the capital. I'm willing to bet that number will grow over the next few days as the initial shock fades and right wing media spin does it's gruesome work. Similar to how the Unite the Right Klan rally in Charlottesville seemed like a possible inflection point at first, a chance for the right to look at their plate and see what they were eating. Instead, it was just another small bump on the slide to overt fascism.

Dr. VooDoo posted:I like that Garrison knows his fellow fash are gonna do a few mass shootings so he’s already doing that “some Trump supports are gonna kill a bunch of people but really it’s a false flag” bullshit With his Capital insurrection cartoon and commentary, he simultaneously insisted that it was 1) a false flag planned and led by antifa 2) A spontaneous uprising by "Real Americans" showing they had enough. Champion of doublethink and duckspeak that he is, He seemed completely unaware that these are mutually exclusive positions.

Randalor posted:I don't get it. I mean, I know its Ramierez, and gently caress him with the sharpest knife in the drawer, but... what is he trying to say? That Pelosi is the new president because... Harris vanished into a puff of smoke? I mean, I thought their drawing orders were supposed to be "Harris is actually president because Biden old", not "Pelosi president because *fart noise*". Biden is a bland old white guy, the GOP has trouble whipping it's base into a death-frenzy about him compared to other Democrats. The solution, portray "the real power behind the throne" as someone they already despise. In this case Pelosi, but other popular choices are Harris, Obama, Hillary, or (((Globalists))). That's it, nothing more to the cartoon.

Very low-energy, would not purchase fat-booty furry porn commissions from this artist. Yeah, I'm disappointed.

At first glance I thought this was a comic against MyPillow guy, but then I realized it was about NewsMax pulling him off the air since they are already looking at a huge defamation lawsuit from Dominion and don't want to give the lawyers even more ammo. Obviously, defamatory speech is explicitly not protected, but Chuds deliberately misinterpret freedom of speech to mean I can say anything I want at anytime entirely without consequences.

Twelve by Pies posted:Wouldn't completing the pipeline have also done away with a lot of truck/rail jobs? I think I remember hearing that, which would make it even worse than just the already disingenuous "These temporary jobs ended slightly earlier than they would have." Exact number of jobs varies depending on who you ask, but I have yet to see a source with more than 50. A most of those jobs are low wage, low skilled "security" and someone portion of the jobs are in Canada anyways. So yeah, more disingenuous horseshit.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:It's a hatred of spending tax money on anything that isn't blowing up foreigners. If we didn't have any public education teachers would be respected professionals. It's also a deep suspicion of expertise or even the notion of formal education itself. A good example is Conservapedia's concept "best of the public". Andy Schlafly repeatedly argued that "the best of the public", which is code for any unsupported ideas that align with conservative ideology, are a more valid and authoritative source of knowledge then research studies or testimony from people working in relevant fields. Or to quote directly "The best of the public is better than a group of experts."

Vib Rib posted:It's amazing how fast they tell on themselves. Celebrity says something anti-semitic and gets fired. Right-wingers go "she was fired for saying something conservative!" It's not just anti-antisemitism, she has also posted a lot of transphobic garbage in the past, as well. I think part of the reason she got fired is, there have been previous rounds of her mocking a marginalized group, outrage, rumors of Disney firing her, and her inflamatory posts and comments stopping for a time. Clearly, she has had plenty of previous warnings about this and Disney has gotten sick of the exact same poo poo happening every 3 months.

gently caress you. Even by the standards of political cartoons this poo poo is disingenuous. First, it will be a cold day in hell before the GOP ever puts money towards schools or roads, instead of payoffs for defense contractors and the wealthy. Second, the stimulus bill includes 170 billion in education funding. Third, the vast majority of bill is social spending on poverty and public health. Fourth, the discretionary spending portion goes directly to states and local governments, which is exactly what the GOP has claimed to want all along. Remind me again Stantis, where was this concern for the debt during the GOP's 1.9 trillion give away to the wealthy?

Gannett has over 250+ papers, though not all of them were necessarily running Tinsley. Still it's a substantial number. They don't give an exact reason other than "Cartoon doesn't meet our standards", but speculation is these two cartoons earned him the well deserved boot.

Gannett hasn't offered an explanation, at least publicly, other than a boilerplate "cartoon doesn't meet our standards". Maybe they told the syndicate something different in private? Maybe Drunk Duck is speaking out his rear end in hopes of becoming a conservative cause and riding a sales wave? Maybe Gannett is just looking to cut costs cause none really gives a poo poo about editorial cartoons? Who knows.

But rock musicians have been hailing Satan for years, I thought we as a society had stopped caring about that decades ago. The far right seems determined to refight every single battle of the 80's culture war again. I guess it was only a matter of time before another Satanic Panic flared up. In a few years they will be arresting a bunch of innocent kindergarten teachers.

It's kinda surreal how this thread will occasionally bring up webcomics whose heyday was 10-20 years ago, but are amazing still going running. I can't say I every expected sinfest to become a borderline neonazi screed or VGcatz to just become full on furry porn. Honestly, if you asked me 15 years ago which comic would just end up being straight porn I would have said sinfest.

MechaCrash posted:On the one hand, I want to say "excellent avatar/post combo." On the other hand, "build and maintain a merchandising empire" was, if not Garfield's original reason, that's certainly the reason now, and it certainly does that. It really was Garfield's original reason. Prior to Garfield, Jim Davis had toiled away on strip about anthropomorphic insects for a few years without distribution going beyond low double digits at best. He was dispirited when, some editor gave him the advise, "your art is good and your jokes are funny, but no one likes bugs." Jim then resolved to create the most commercial strip he could, and every design decisions was made from that framework. Literally the only reason it's about a cat is he noted that there were a number of popular dogs in comics like Snoopy and Maramaduke, but no cats. I don't like Garfield, but I admire it's purity. The perfect commercial vehicle, it's market calculations matched only by its ubiquity.

is claiming to be a true leftist, but mostly spends his time ranting about black people, amnesty, the trans agenda, and of course women. He even takes conservative memes and tries to frame them as leftist, which includes the Great Replacement, but uhhhh it’s conservative PoC that are replacing the good white leftists. He barely does cartoons now, and they’re the boring cool pig man dunks on lame enemy of pig man sort of thing.

Crunch Buttsteak posted:Yeah, Conservatives bringing up suicide rates of LGBT people is like when they bring up how many murders there were in Chicago over the weekend. They don't do it because they actually see it as a problem that they want to see fixed, they bring it up because they see it as moral justification for the way they treat other groups of people. I mean, the formulation "I'm doing this horrible thing to group x because I love group x" has been stock for conservatives since forever. Aside from the fact it implicitly cast themselves as parents scolding children, it's let them be as lovely and abusive as they want while telling themselves they're the good guys. See any Adam4D comic where his mouthpiece character always uses the phrase, "I have a lot of gay friends and love gay people" before talking about all the ways they should be systematically persecuted and excluded from society.
