 Previous Threads: 2021 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2007-2008 Welcome to the Political Cartoons Thread! This is where we post, discuss, and mock political cartoons and the cartoonists that make them. It's Year Two of Joseph Biden's liberal nightmare, so more than ever, edits and parodies are welcome in this den of hacks, shills, and has-beens, with weekends being a good opportunity to share any older cartoons you've dug up. Check out your local library for older archives and don't be afraid to share. So familiarize yourself with the thread rules, and dive into what's been called "D&D's worst thread" by critics!   This is the stuff that can get you probated or banned, so listen up.
 THESE ARE NOT HARD RULES This is just a list of recommendations to make the thread go more smoothly. Don't yell at people or report them for violating poo poo here unless it actually violates a forum rule!
 Q: This guy got paid for this? A: Maybe! Political Cartoonists are generally paid in two ways--as a staff position or on a per-cartoon basis by a syndicate. If a cartoonist is a staff cartoonist, they'll list their employer by their name. These cartoonists are paid a living wage and just about all of their cartoons are actually approved by an editor, printed, and seen by human beings. If a cartoonist is a member of a syndicate, they'll list their syndicate by their name, usually Cagle or U-Click. These syndicates act as a market for editors. We have no idea whether a particular cartoon posted by a syndicate is actually sold. Reportedly, they are sold for around $10 a cartoon, which is then split by the cartoonist and the syndicate. As you can imagine, this means a cartoonist can make very little or very much in syndication. As the internet has ingrained itself in our daily lives over the past 20 years, some cartoonists have found success with crowdfunding such as Patreon or Kickstarter. This is still fairly rare, but as newspaper continue to whittle down their staff to appease their shareholders, it may be the norm. Some sites, such as the Nib and Counterpoint, are relatively new, smaller pseudo-syndicates that get out work while remaining creator owned and driven. Q: How obscure is this guy? Is anyone ever actually going to see this? A: For most, there's no way to tell. Unless they're a staff cartoonist, the cartoon may never be printed or seen by anyone. Most of the cartoonists here are published to a fairly large audience but, as the internet offers easier ways to get your work out there, this thread has seen an increasing amount of obscure or fringe cartoonists. Just assume they're read by a non-trivial amount of people unless there's proof otherwise. Q: Is everyone posted here an evil, stupid, conservative rear end in a top hat? A: No, we post all kinds. Sometimes a cartoon will present an evil idea sarcastically, sometimes they're just evil. If you can't tell just by looking at it, just ask the thread. Q: Did this cartoonist get a Pulitzer for one cartoon or what? A: Apparently Pulitzers many decades ago were given out for a particular cartoon or two, but as time goes on it seems to have shifted to the artist's work for the year. So while we make mock someone like Ramirez for obvious "Pulitzer Bait", technically all of his cartoons are judged for the award. Yeah...we don't hold the Pulitzer in high regard. Q: Is this just for American/Canadian cartoonists, or...? A: We allow cartoons of all stripes, and we adore stuff from foreign cartoonists as a break from the usual suspects. There is a thread for UK cartoons, but we've felt that there haven't been enough UK cartoons posted in this thread and would encourage people to start posting them in here again. However it would be nice, if you have the time, to explain some of the stuff that harder to decipher. Q: What about funny page cartoons? Webcomics? A: A cartoon with regular political content, such as Doonesbury or Prickly City, can be posted here no problem. Your Garfield and Family Circus stuff should go to the Comic Strip Megathread in BSS, although feel free to share the rare individual strips that are political in nature. This includes apolitical comics done by political cartoonists, unless it's relevant to the thread like a particular Dustin. Webcomics follow the same procedure: it's fair game if there's overt contemporary political themes, otherwise take it elsewhere. Remember that Day by Day, a political webcomic, is banned from this thread. Take it to the Bad Webcomic Thread or whatever place allows such garbage. Q: Can I share this crazy email from my mom? How about this image macro I saw on Facebook? A: This thread is strictly for political cartoons. There are usually dedicated threads for crazy emails, social media posts, or Freep-watching. Memes are not political cartoons, so keep that Minion image macro your great aunt posted to yourself...unless Glenn McCoy drew it. Q: Can I see more from X? A: We'd really like to see more people consistently posting the same cartoonist(s) so they don't get missed. If you want to step up to the plate for a particular person, then by all means. You can post them as they come, or do weekly dumps if that's easier on you. Q: What happened to the cartoonist index? A: The index was an artifact from when old poster XyloJW made the thread, and I kept it updated for the sake of new people. However, the list took a decent chunk of time to update each year, and very few people used it so it didn't solve the problem of people asking the same questions about cartoonists. Xander77 made a few profiles about the more infamous cartoonists posted here, in case you need a primer: Payne: http://imgur.com/gallery/C2ysj Garrison: http://imgur.com/gallery/ZdFwM Tinsley: http://imgur.com/gallery/hFGWV Gorrell: http://imgur.com/gallery/rnrPT Ramirez: http://imgur.com/gallery/QrEjj Rall: http://imgur.com/gallery/xDjKV Q: Hey, this cartoon isn't political! A: While "the personal is political" is an overused catchphrase to defend seemingly apolitical cartoons, what is and isn't political can get a bit fuzzy. This can be exacerbated if Death of the Author is considered, and whether or not the creator even intended to make a political statement. Just remember that issues such as LGBT rights, racial justice, and especially topics of class struggle are political even if they don't mention a politician or current event. If got a real bee in your bonnet about it then report the offending post to a mod. Q: This thread sucks and I want a better one! A: CSPAM has a thread, for those who are in the mood for a  The thread has developed a few inside jokes and terms. Some of these are woefully out of date, but preserved just in case: AGC: Shorthand for "A Good Cartoon." Basically, you intentionally interpret a comic with a fairly obvious bad message as having a good message. The original point of this was to poke fun at some of the really poor metaphors that some cartoonists were crafting, but the concept of AGC has been run into the ground. If you want to see some quality ones, Saint Sputnik has a blog dedicated to these. Benghazi: While I think everyone is familiar with the Benghazi attacks, newer users might be unaware that one of the victims was Sean "vilerat" Smith, who was a long-time member and moderator of D&D. Seeing cartoonists use the death of a sincerely missed member of the community as a desperate attempt to smear Obama has made Benghazi a rather sore issue for everyone in this thread. Can't Handle: The thread is known for getting into spats over ridiculous subjects. However, this phrase was used waaaaay too much, and you're not being witty by yelling "Can't Handle!" when people arguing over actual political stuff as opposed to goofy poo poo like weathervanes. Yes, we have actually argued over weathervanes. DASGC: Stands for "Dumb and so Goddamn Crazy." A cartoon that portrays the opposing side as screaming, ignorant children, and their own side as patient, knowledgeable adults. Based on a Shmorky cartoon. Don't Be Willfully Dense: A line from cartoonist Eric Allie when someone pointed out how stupid his cartoon was. Has become a thread motto of sorts to not be an idiot when interpreting the message of any given cartoon. Gerald: A name given to a stock character used in many conservative cartoons. Typically a standard middle-aged white guy with glasses and little hair. Exists only to wryly point out how bad and dumb the strawman of the day is. It's a Powerful Symbol: Phrase made popular during the short-lived Kelly commentaries. When describing the crying Statue of Liberty, Kelly said "it's a powerful symbol...you don't want to overuse it" when of course the joke is that Liberty is in nearly every Kelly cartoon. Used sarcastically for overused symbolism, especially Liberty but can be anything such as bald eagles or uncle sam. Nonsense...This Is An Election Year: This phrase comes from a cartoon that was the subject of an Onion article mocking nonsensical political cartoons. Sometimes a person may post this phrase in response to a political cartoon, and that's basically a way of saying "this makes no loving sense." Pants Donkey: The nickname for a donkey from an old Mike Luckovich cartoon, and is essentially the mascot of the thread at this point. We have no idea why. PBF: The Perry Bible Fellowship was a webcomic that people frequently over-analyzed, so much to the point that to "PBF" something is to dig way deeper than you were supposed to for a cartoon's meaning. Skull Donkey: Several cartoonists, including Lisa Benson and Jerry Holbert, draw donkeys in such a way that it's easy to edit their snouts into cartoonish skulls. The golden age of skull edits is long over, but it's still a fun game. An example:  becomes  Please put some thought into skull donkey edits! Wormbama: It was common for Michael Ramirez to draw former President Obama with a weird squished face that resembled a worm. The thread game up with this nickname for the phenomenon. You Gotta Give Me the Fangs: Another joke from the brief Kelly video series, it references Kelly begging his editor to keep fangs on a Chinese person. Used to describe when a cartoonist is being especially racist with their caricature. Zionism: Okay, not really unique to this thread, but enough people have asked about it to merit being in here. Zionism, in a very simple definition, is just far-right nationalism for Israel. However, if you are hearing Zionism used in the same context as the Rothschilds or the Illuminati or basically any Dees cartoon, then you're just dealing with antisemitic conspiracy stuff. $CUM PASS: A cartoonist drew a sign intended to read SCUM PASS, but they decided to use a differently colored $ symbol for the S. The end result was something that read CUM PASS and made the thread lose its collective mind. Hentai: The Hent is too drat Hai Touching the Poop: Communicating with a cartoonist outside of SA. Usually as a bit to get arise out of them, but can include sincere interactions. This is looked down upon, as it can draw legal action upon the site (even if frivolous, lawsuits take time and money to deal with!), some cartoonists are riddled with mental illness that we don't need to provoke, and honestly it's just very weird behavior to begin with.  Some edits, parodies, and cartoons become quite memorable and frequently requested. Please check out the Politoon Archive first before asking for stuff in the thread. I'll try to remember to use the OP to collect memorable stuff from this year, and then archive it at the end of the year.  Sometimes stuff that starts here gets collected on its own site. Note that several of these sites have stopped updating, but the archives are always fun for a spin. A Good Cartoon: Saint Sputnik collects the best AGCs here. Ye Fowl Herald: You know that old medieval tapestry maker thing that was popular on the internet several years ago? Well, Saint Sputnik is using it to recreate Mallard Fillmore strips. Iran Will Have Nukes Any Day Now: Pants Donkey has collected cartoons that predict the imminent threat of a nuclear Iran. Some of these cartoons are over a decade old. If Global Warming Is Real, Then Why Is It Cold: A depressing collection of cartoons that display people's complete lack of climate education. Political PBF: Some unknown genius took old PBF strips and turning them into political cartoons. It's a lot better than it sounds. The Kellies The Kellies are our annual awards for the worst cartoons of the year (and the best edits or parodies), originally named after a hilarious parody cartoon, but that cartoon is like a decade old now so the reference was lost on a lot of newcomers; so we changed it. If you see a cartoon you want to nominate, quote it and include "Kellies Nomination:” and the category you want to nominate it for, so the organizers of the contest have an easy way to track nominations. The current categories are:
Around the end of the year, the Kellies thread will be created, where we'll collect the various nominations and also take nominations for Worst Overall Political Cartoon 2022. I'd like more information about the political cartoons I'm reading! Check out Wiki Sours, the companion wiki to the Politoons thread!

 Everything must come to an end. Here is a list of cartoonists that are no longer producing cartoons and the reason why. Chuck Asay - Old Moral Majority type that had a really pleasant art style behind the ugly opinions. Basically the thread's racist uncle. Retired John Backderf - Thread regular that eventually quit. Joel Barbee - Thread regular way back in the day. Split his last name into two lines, prompting the BAR BEE meme. Died. Barry - Drew very weird cartoons that were like a John K fan that didn't quite understand how art worked. Had a weird gopher mascot in most threads. Vanished in the mid 10s. Erin Bonsteel – Young (well ten years ago) woman that portrayed Obama with a gremlin face. Quit; sometimes does vaguely political art but not enough to warrant posting Dale – Output slowed to a trickle. No new cartoons in 2016 Brian Fairrington – Cartoonist that seemed very mercenary due to publishing cartoons with contradictory opinions. Vanished; archives deleted from Cagle Glenn Foden (7Oden) - Died in 2016 Tommy Grooms – Of “Ralph and Chuck” infamy. Shifted to Apolitical “Jokes” Tim Kreider - Drew cartoons with humorous, detailed art. Quit for mental health reasons as a result of the Bush W. years. Righto, what's his name then? - Racist Australian with a particular hatred of the native Australians. Died in March 2017 of a heart attack. His son has taken up the job of being a piece of poo poo. JJ McCullough – Very Canadian. Gay conservative that tended to be more interested in polite politics and formalities. Drew very cute cartoons with varying opinions because...gay Canadian conservative. Has turned to column writing and a YouTube channel that actually has a few interesting videos. Mike “Hapajap” Miller – Drew "Electric Tigers", aka the cartoon featuring Obama being murdered by one of the characters, the stupid Yu-Gi-Oh evolution cartoon, and falling for pyramid schemes. Stopped drawing when it threatened his career drawing comic books. Pat Oliphant – Long-running liberal cartoonist. Had a nice art style, but definitely went ten degrees to the right when it came to things like race. Retired. R.P. Overmyer - Drew "Hollywood Dog" a very weird collection of political cartoons featuring the titular pink canine with sunglasses. If Asay was the thread's racist uncle, then Overmyer was the weird hippie uncle who had agreeable opinions but came with off-putting vibes due to being overtly horny all the time. Like, in a "drew nipples on clothed women" sort of tipping your hand. Died in 2010. Jeff Parker - Liberal cartoonist that retired from political cartooning in 2013. Works on the strip Dustin for some inexplicable reason, so he still shows up from time to time. Zack Rawsthorne – Author of “Diversity Lane.” Jerry Holbert: Developed frontotemporal dementia in 2019 and slowly became unable to produce cartoons. Gave us skull donkeys and got in trouble for that strip with a guy offering Obama watermelon toothpaste. Died of his aforementioned illness in August 2022. Glenn McMcoy: Aggressively conservative and culture war type. Drew Obama in a rainbow tie for years after the former president came out in support for gay marriage. Retired from political cartooning in 2018. Did make a few political cartoons in 2020, but is largely working on apolitical art/cartooning. Bruce Tinsley: While Mallard Fillmore is still ongoing, the strip went into reruns in the second half of 2019, and Tinsley was quietly replaced by Loren Fishman in 2020. Tinsley caught tremendous flak for a racist cartoon he drew in August 2019, however it seems the actual reason for the absence seems to be his personal health. Dees: Bigoted conspiracy theorist that didn't so much draw as made horrifying photoshop abominations. Should have gone into a career as an artist for metal albums, but instead bought into pretty much every conspiracy out there. As stated, he was a huge bigot; racist, homophobic, transphobic (going beyond Michelle Obama and accused multiple supermodels of being secretly trans), and of course he was just a massive anti-Semite that blamed Jews for everything. Don Asmussen: Creator of "Bad Reporter" which was a selection of parody headlines. Used to draw the feature, but eventually turned them into a series of photoshop. Still managed to remain sharply funny, and was a thread favorite until his sudden passing from cancer in 2021. Matt Bors: Leftist cartoonist and creator of the Nib, an online site dedicated to publishing left-leaning political cartoons/essays that tended to skew younger or at least those with less access to mainstream publishing. Did the "We Should Improve Society" cartoon that became a meme sensation. Retired from political cartooning 2021 to focus on journalism, nonfiction cartoons, and running the Nib. JRRose!: aka John R. Rose. Did political cartoons for Ogden that were I guess best described as "gentle" conservativism, where everyone had smiles and Obama was more a foolish goof than SOCIALIST MENANCE and dad puns were abound. So he sucked, but in a charming way that made him probably one of the least hated of the right-wing cartoonists. Abruptly stopped publishing cartoons a few years back, although he still does the art for the century-old zombie newspaper strip Barney Google. Sean Delonas: Drew cartoons so hateful and ugly it'd make a British cartoonist blush. Enjoyed drawing his political enemies, especially women, as being so-fat-they-were-spherical despite being a husky dude himself. Was published by the infamous New York Post, during which he drew heat for likening Obama to a chimp in 2009. Around 2013 he was bought out of his contract, but he kept drawing political nightmares until early 2021, when he stopped to focus on Children's books of all things. Tom Toles: Self-described “long-haired liberal” who was one of the old guard that had a career spanning 50 years before retiring in 2020. Had a long-running hatred of the DC Metro, which frequently appeared in his cartoons. Pat Cross: Very Catholic cartoonist that put out cartoons for various conservative outlets. Was vehemently anti-LGBT and more outspoken about it than most of his ilk. Left cartooning to enter the priesthood in August 2022.

Is Ishida going to have the 2022 center around…2022 like the last two years? They seem like they’re set as major arcs but never go anywhere, which I guess isn’t surprising given they were originally gag strips that ran for like two weeks tops. In 2020, she was held by the Devil and used as a corporate mascot…but 2020 sucked IRL so Ishida translated this into his comic as sexism? Either way, she wasn’t all that useful as an ad lady, but the Devil still wanted her because…? Well, she has time powers, randomly stopping a fight between the Woke and MAGA Boys by turning them all into babies. Well, temporarily, except Uncle Sam who was kept young by Devil medicine? 2021 also showed this power like once, and you’d think that would be a far more compelling reason for Satan to want to capture her, but it never gets brought up. And 2021 is raised by another family, but nothing happens. She gets arrested and dies right as she’s freed. We get this Sunday strip of her family, but they haven’t been focused on since the summer. Dad has been in that hospital with Mom for like six months. If Satan owns the prisons then why did he imprison 2021 if he wanted her for his schemes? Hell, the prison is supposed to be a hamfisted metaphor for social media, but she’s in there for real world crimes. It’s such a mess. The lack of any improvement to the writing year after year is so odd. He wants these annual arcs, but then get distracted by telling us that vaccines are bad for two weeks, or he falls in love with a one-off joke and we get Woker comics for a month because isn’t that funny!? It rhymes with Joker! Is 2022 going to be raised by the Sisterhood this year, and we get a TERF 2022 that stays in her 20s for like half the year until she magically becomes old (read: gets a few eye wrinkles and grey hair) in September? Cannot wait for the Supreme Court to outlaw abortion in June and Ishida just has 2022 yelling about how pronouns are bad.

It is so weird that Ishida wants this running narrative but will just randomly drop whatever is going on because he saw a year-old youtube video about hospital staff dancing or just pivot into something another character is doing despite not being involved with the major ongoing story arc. Like, it’s been two weeks now since 2021 died while escaping prison. We have literally no idea if the rest of them made it back safely, got caught, or you know did anything with literal corpse in their car. Instead we got a week dedicated to Uncle Sam dying and another week of reactions to his death with some unrelated stuff sprinkled in. The only good news is that we’re in the last week of January and there’s been no comic about a baby 2022.

He’s not an idiot: he’s knows the election lie is poison to the GOP’s prospects, but he also knows restricting voter rights is the best path forward for the party. So slam the conspiracy theory poo poo about 2020 while getting in the actual point that election laws are perfectly fine. Now he appears balanced and therefore reasonable.

Angepain posted:At least when Ishida does insubstantial storylines that mean nothing and fizzle out with little to no resolution he has the decency to do 20 of them at once so it at least feels like events are taking place from time to time  Better than the same two characters doing nothing in the same featureless desert.

Potatoes are hermaphroditic, so technically they are non-binary and that would make Mr. Potato by definition trans
