The demons are women, and therefore correct. All women are correct except when they've been mind controlled by men, which is the only reason anyone disagrees with Ishida ever, is mind control.

Is it just because I'm not awake, or does Sinfest make no drat sense?

I think Ishida thinks that vaguely alluding to a wide variety of things is the same as actually making something complex and deep

so yes it's the second option

Those two in the background are Grandma and Aunt Vera from the british political cartoonist Carl Giles. Giles was an actual Good Cartoonist who used a recurring cartoon family to comment on current events. Actually this joke is similar in style to a lot of Giles cartoons - ordinary british people joking and teasing each other about topical events - which might be why he included them as an homage.

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

Choke on your own bile, Ted Rall.

Timg'd for huge.


I had forgotten about the legal action behind the Legal Action Comics mentioned here

quote:

Hellman has been described as a "veteran prankster".[5] Following an August 3, 1999 Village Voice cover story criticizing Maus author Art Spiegelman by editorial cartoonist Ted Rall, Hellman created an email list called "Rallsballs@onelist.com" and sent a satirically self-agrandizing letter entitled "Ted Rall's Balls", impersonating Rall, to at least 35 cartoonists and editors, including one former employer of Rall. Rall eventually retaliated by filing a lawsuit, claiming among other things, libel, lost employment opportunities and emotional distress, and asking damages of US$ 1.5 million.[6] Eventually four of Rall's five claims were dismissed, leaving only libel per se.[7] The case had still not gone to trial in 2005,[8][9] when Rall's attorney died.[10]

From a quick google i can sadly not find the text of the certain masterwork Ted Rall's Balls .

it does look a bit more like a gear in the second-last row - i wouldn't have thought Ishida would have gotten to the level of Stonetoss-style judaism references quite yet, though the guy rolled down the slope from swerf to terf to vax denial with such gusto who can even say at this point

I saw this the other day as a facebook meme made with text drawn on the two guys from The Road To Eldorado. Sadly I can't get it again, as it was the last straw that made me finally unfriend this gradually antivax-radicalising person I'd spoken to like twice, so you're still on your own. There might be an actual cartoon, or the guy might have seen the lovely meme and mistaken it for a high-effort Gorrell or something

I hate that I spotted this, but I'm pretty sure she's meant to be the same character as the one in the second strip, based on the piercings:

I think she's different because of the backpack, and a slightly different top. This is the level of analysis one needs to tell apart female characters in Sinfest.

Here is the entire arc, I only remembered where it was because I was looking up a post in last year's thread the other week and I remembered I'd quoted the last strip from this sequence.

Oh yeah, for context, this sequence of strips ran in mid-October. I only mention this because about two weeks before that, there was the video of a border patrol agent on a horse whipping a Haitian immigrant with his reins.

completely unrelated to any recent developments in political cartoons, but i just wanted to tell everyone that I just saw the word "rort" in the wild and have only now realised that the "sports rorts" continually mentioned in australian cartoons for the past few years are not, in fact, a humorous contraction of "sports resorts"

Somewhere along the line Kevin became the senator for the Lefty Tea Party which speaks volumes about how Stantis copes with the elements of conservative politics he doesn't like.

Hunny Bunny is hilarious because while she's obviously meant to be Hillary Stantis never puts in any of her politics and won't give her up so we end up with a character whose main trait is her tenacity who we are meant to hate in comparison to the heroes who never do anything.

also if i remember right he actually did mention Hillary Clinton by name once so somehow they both exist
