(Original image courtesy of escapegoat; font is Action Man) Welcome to the 2022 Political Cartoons Award Thread! The Kellies (previously known as the Gaybies) are our annual celebration of the best and worst in political cartooning. The initial purpose of this thread is to collect any nominations not made in the original thread (I have gone back and gathered all previous nominations). Please read the 2022 thread and share your nominations here. Feel free to discuss your nominations and reasoning. You don't have to nominate in every category, and comics can be nominated in multiple categories at once. Voting Voting ends midnight on April 8. Nominees for voting begin here. Each category has a letter or letter combo, and each cartoon has a number. Make a post with the number of each entry you're voting for and what category it's in. I'll take either the letter or the category name. You get one vote per category, and you do not have to vote in all categories. If you want to change your vote or add a vote in a category you haven't already voted in, please edit your existing post! Nomination Rules and Suggestions
Kelly's Kommandos I need volunteers to help get wiki sours up to date, and users who will help automate the process of collating nominations (a process that currently takes many hours of manual spreadsheet work). Let me know if you can help with either; volunteers will get a free forums upgrade of your choice, and possibly other benefits. Kellies Kategories Note I have condensed categories based on nominations received.
The creator of the winning “Best Edit/Parody" and the user with the most winning nominations will both receive a forums upgrade of their choice. Special K Awards Please inform me of any cartoonists who have retired or died in 2022. Additionally, mention any “lifetime achievement” or similar awards you believe should go out. Nominees Nominees begin here! Prizes Just click here! Previous Years' Awards threads: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 Mid-term, 2015, 2016 Mid-Term, 2016, 2017 Mid-term, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.

I'm going through last year's thread now, trying to compile some nominations for the categories that are lacking. Two weeks in, and I think the Most Grotesque category will be about 90% Martin Rowson/Dave Brown cartoons.

Be real, why bother with actually doing this? Every year it's a lot of work for someone and nobody cares about the result. Doing the nominations at the time the comics come out is just a signifier of how someone feels about it; taken out of context a year later almost all of these comics are meaningless. It's always seemed to me like the nomination is more important than any actual award ceremony or whatever, and I think the fact that these awards keep getting forgotten about and left until months later supports that.

I think it's fun to look back at the worst of the year, and sometimes I look through winners of previous years while looking for particularly egregious examples of political cartoons being awful. Honestly, I give more of a poo poo about this thread than the Pulitzers, which should only be taken as an insult towards the Pulitzers.

I need to make sure this gets in, I don't think the category started becoming an actual thing until later in the year. Kellies Nomination: Laziest Gorrell KennyMan666 fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Feb 13, 2023 |

A-8. Utterly generic symbolism that covers up almost all of the actual subject makes this one exquisitely incomprehensible less than three months on. AD-4. An absolutely disgusting example of using the insipid "two things happened" formula to exploit human suffering for cheap political heat. WQE-4. The primitive art style and the entire joke revolves around a song that nobody younger than 50 has any awareness of. ANY-2. I'm mostly surprised at how short this category is, considering Bennett makes one every six hours or so. BG-3. In a duel between Garrison and Leak, whoever wins, we lose. BAS-2. gently caress you, Ben. This one may not be the most pure antisemite cartoon in here, unlike Garrison's other offering, but simping for Putin angers me more than the garden variety Elders of Zion we get out of a dozen cartoonists every month. BLGBT-1. When I saw the category name, I thought: "Do we need a separate category just for transphobia?" And then I saw the absolute utter loathing in this list and realised that yes, we do. BR-14. I think at this rate we might need separate categories for anti-black, anti-Latino, anti-Muslim and anti-Chinese racism next year. BT-2. I don't think I even want to comment on this one. C-34. For once, I'm not going to vote for Danziger on this one, but that's because Kirschen doesn't do caricature most of the time. CT-3. An outsider entrant! Summers doesn't get into this much, but this one I think is enough to steal Payne's thunder by the slimmest of margins. Bravo! G-14. betrain those who insult Jezza L-22. Bennett with a strong showing, but I think putting a speech bubble on a photograph is really a rare level of laziness. Especially considering it's Leunig, whose most effortful cartoons still look like he whipped them up in fifteen minutes, of which it took ten to send the scan to the colorist. LG-1. gently caress, I only noticed the equatorial strip now. What a shitshow. (also, are LG-1 and LG-3 supposed to be identical?) LB-27. It's the amount of effort he has to put into explaining his cartoon instead of just making a good cartoon. MI-10. what R-55, I guess? There's so many of them I completely lost track and I never really liked this category to be honest. ROE-5. Yeah, that's the one. TG-7. How rude of those activists to use an argument! UKR-1. eat my entire rear end stiglich WD-2. I find it funny how jealous Rall is of Spiegelman, even if I don't exactly have much love for Maus. P-29. No contest. WO-26. Zyklon Ben's incessant cheering for Russia's murderous invasion of Ukraine is the most heinous thing he's ever done as a cartoonist, bar none, and this is saying something considering who he is. This vote reflects that. BO-11. I am shocked, but I actually have to give it to Bennett on this one. The composition, the expression, the colouring, the detail, hell, even the comic sans all work together here. This is a very well-crafted cartoon without a single speech bubble. Just goes to show that he can do it when inspiration strikes.

I few things I noticed, the "Worst Queen Elizabeth Cartoon" category doesn't have a title, it just starts immediately after the "Worst Two Things Happened," LG-1 and LG-3 in the "Laziest Gorrell" are the same cartoon, and BO-3 isn't properly linked so the image doesn't show up. Not a criticism, only a few errors for just how much there is to sort through. I would have done a much worse job if I had tried. BO-3 Stan Kelley, 04/14/2022 A-6 - A mean-spirited joke that uses domestic abuse as a punchline AD-5 - Not only lazy, but has to explain itself WQE-5 - Not even a memorial, just a call out for not enough performative grieving ANY-3 - All the entries here are interchangeable, but this one is also ugly BG-3 - Proudly racist and xenophobic BAS-3 - Just have to give your greedy Zelensky caricature an enormous hooked nose BLGBT-7 - Some classic gay-bashing about spreading disease BR-7 - Branco's Mexicans are drawn as Neanderthals BT-11 - Targeting someone specifically as freakish because of their body C-8 - This is mild by its hateful competition, but approaches the limits of what is recognizably a drawing of a human CT-3 - The tired argument that everything except guns is responsible for gun violence G-26 - Lester, you absolute gently caress, you know perfectly well that birth control is under attack L-25 - The peak of laziness is adding words balloons to a photograph LG-1 - Couldn't even be bothered to find a picture at a decent resolution or color inside the line LB-26 - Just make Brittney Griner 9 feet tall so you have enough room for your label MI-10 - Completely loving up your attempt at a visual metaphor OR-10 - Even die-hard anti-vaxxers must see that there hasn't been a mass death among the vaccinated R-17 - Without Garrison's statement, I would have said there is no way this is a positive cartoon about Musk ROE-3 - An obnoxious combination of using an online meme and denying reality TG-7 - Preemptively declaring that using a gun massacre as evidence against guns is unfair UKR-4 - Good old Rall, can't have a discussion on anything that doesn't get back to his favorite subject WD-2 - Another Rall! Such sour grapes, dubiously using the topic of censorship to call Speigelman a sellout P-27 - Truly the Queen Elizabeth tribute we needed WO-14 - The sheer glee Kirschen takes in the death of this one Palestinian woman, while also insulting her life's work BO-1 - A well-executed visual metaphor that is drawn well? I'm not sure this is allowed in the field of political cartooning Rebel Blob fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Mar 6, 2023 |

Thanks for the headsup, I’ll fix those this evening. So far I’m glad it’s working better than last year’s crop! edit: All should now be fixed. LG-3 was an accidental duplicative nomination, so any votes for LG-3 will be counted for LG-1. Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Mar 7, 2023 |

It's truly unbelievable how bad this is. And 18, 21, and 22 are the runners-up. (The Gorrell I nominated is still eye-searingly ugly.) Best Overall: BO-11 | Slightly edging out 5 and 13; I guess I favor its simplicity and brutality. I do love Marty Two Bulls' composition and technical mastery, and the When the Wind Blows parody is effective as both political commentary and tribute to an artist who has passed.

Worst a Thing Happened: A-1 We tried nothing and are unwilling to try other ideas. Now how are you going to fix this without me having to change anything? Go to hell Ramirez Worst two Things Happened: AD-4 I dont hear anything but my dog just went crazy Worst Queen Elizabeth Cartoon: WQE-3 though i suspect i would vote 5 if i could be assed to look at the context Most Any Day Now ANY-1 best represents the situation. Least Concealed Bigotry(General) BG-2 this might just huff the most farts possible without slipping into a coma Least Concealed Bigotry(Antisemitism) BAS-5 straight up sketching nazi propaganda for this Least Concealed Bigotry(LGBTQ+ other than pure transphobia) BLGBT-5 i think this hits basically all the highlights. Least Concealed Bigotry (Race) BR-5 for being possibly the most tone deaf self own ever. Least Concealed Bigotry(Transphobia) BT-6 at some point you have to know what your doing is over the top bullshit to make THIS but power through it for the grift anyway Worst Caricature C-31once again a lifetime achievement award for right wing conspiracy farts huffed in under 24 hours Worst Concern Trolling CT-2 You are trying to fight Disney on hearts and minds, please continue to try and punch them instead of people with no money Worst Gaslighting G-15 One of these sides attempted a putch. guess which! 8 does.. does fishman have a point? no, that's impossible. This was a competitive category this year, good to see domestic gas production can replace Russian supply. Laziest Non-Gorrell L-15 Made with MS word 2000 Laziest Gorrell LG-1 Truly the world is half full of piss and this explains Ukraine. Surely a comic for the ages. Context isnt required for politics. Worst Label LB-17 It would have been such an easy win to just label it student loan or student loan debt but you had to crush them with the solution. Most Incomprehensible MI-10 Mike Lester has taken the woke leftist position that all automotive consumption is unethical and supports bikes *man whispers in ear* I have been told that actually this was an attempt to argue something else entirely. Most Opposite of Reality OR-10 Excess death numbers show its the other thing. Most Easily Reinterpreted R-4 cops shoot anti cop city protestor in tent. no wrongdoing found in internal investigation. Worst Roe Cartoon ROE-3 the only rights you get are the ones explicitly layed out, we get to use ours to crush yours honey. Worst Cartoon about a Tragedy TG-8 We cant think of a good way to spin this for our gain, so were just going to say using tragedy for political gain is gross after only 5000 years of precedent. Worst Cartoon about Ukraine UKR-1 Dogs barking again Most Willfully Dense WD-2 continued failure to understand the difference between political interference in education and private free speech choices. Best Edit/Parody p-12 its just too easy Worst Overall WO-20 ooof Best Overall BO-8 a good long term one that's probably going to hold up forever

A-2 - just a terribly done cartoon, two people in a void talking about things, and the joke is incredibly stupid anyway; it's not short enough to be realistic or long enough to be absurd AD-4 - The War in Ukraine, basically just like living in a city in the US, managing to be offensive to everyone all at once. This achievement deserves recognition. WQE-2 - Every part of this cartoon is as stupid as possible. Just, honestly, what is even the point here? Why would you draw this? ANY-3 - All three of these nominees are about the same except that this one had the worst art. BG-2 - Every time I look at this one, I just hear screaming in my head. The screaming does not end. BAS-2 - I know it isn't strictly related to the category, but the Putin Peace Dove just drives this one over the edge for me (and off of the cliff, plummeting to the ground in flames, with no survivors) BLGBT-6 - All the other grooming cartoons at least make some vague effort at suggesting that not ALL LGBTQIA individuals are groomers; this one just flat-out loving says they all are. BR-8 - All of these are awful but this caricature is just something else BT-6 - Just The One Joke, nothing else to distract us like actually depicting anything in the comic at all apart from a single talking head with a bunch of text C-22 - Sometimes I wonder what has gone wrong with my life that resulted in me spending so much time looking at these cartoons. CT-3 - But not a penny for health care G-18 - Just a big boring collection of things that we're pissed off about and that's what's wrong with America. Extra points for including "godlessness". L-22 - A man was paid to do this. LG-2 - Even the globe probably involved a little effort. LB-13 - God dammit, Bennett. MI-2 - "The holocaust wasn't about race. What an incredibly horrible thing to say! Here is another thing that wasn't about race, except this thing actually isn't about race and therefore... I'm sleepy. Where's my paycheck?" OR-9 - I like this one because they probably all had their cartoons drawn in advance, and just published them anyway when this completely failed to happen. R-32 - It's hard to argue with Clarence Thomas driving us straight to government tyranny. ROE-3 - What a mess of a cartoon, plus strong opposite-of-reality energy TG-13 - Yeah because a teacher mentioning being gay is as bad as everyone being shot; there is not a gently caress you big enough (honorable mention to TG11: just gotta surgically extract all teenagers' skulls) UKR-1 - Yep, it's still really bad. WD-2 - A publisher not thinking something will make money is literally the same as a school forbidding teachers from using a work in class; galaxy-brain stuff here. P-8 - Just nailed this; completely accurate summary of the man's entire oeuvre. WO-26 - A really tough choice, but I want to give it to good old ZB because he's really put in the hours this year. He earned this. BO-3 - Simultaneously making me laugh and want to throw up; a truly novel sensation.

A-6 - Chasing a headline in the most tactless way AD-4 - Philly isn't a war zone, no matter how much you want it to be Tom WQE-4 - I prefer the cover version: Her majesty's living in a land of curtsies; A world of bluish blood and Nazis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2d4FD9SRww ANY-2 - A catchy phrase does not a conviction make BG-3 - wow...just wow BAS-3 - Seriously, Zelenskyy's nose isn't that big BLGBT-5 - The toughest category this year in my opinion, but Lester is a master of hating queer folk. BR-6 - *sigh* BT-15 - Transphobia isn't simply the portrayal of trans people in these cartoons but of the cultural implications of accepting trans folk. This isn't reality and has never ever happened in the way Gary wants it to to justify his views. C-22 - I'm not sure that depiction is even human! What the hell? CT-1 - Lester is just following marching orders. He never cared about this stuff a few years ago. G-1 - That's literally what it means! L-22 - I have a thing against just using photos and literally putting words in politician's mouths. It's a sign you can't draw the person coherently. LG-1 - Wow you can actually see the overcoverage of the yellow he used on the right side of the earth. Absolutely lazy. LB-10 - So nice you labeled it twice. MI-14 - I have no idea what he so upset about. Honestly, I can't tell. OR-10 - Based on his age, Ben is at minimum vaccinated against smallpox. R-5 - Why yes, the GOP are domestic terrorists (or at least promote them). ROE-5 - The false equivalence just makes this so much worse. TG-2 - In March 2022, nearly 4000 civilians were killed in Ukraine due to the war. Only 100 folks doesn't measure up, Tom. UKR-4 - Your paycheck is showing, Ted. WD-1 - I'm sitting in the American Midwest and it was 70F in February and now it's snowing while our nearby river almost crested its levees. Sounds pretty threatening to me. P-34 - The Onion has a grip on the throat of the nation, and I couldn't be happier. WO-18 - Bad enough that Stan Kelly made fun of it. Just absolutely tasteless. BO-3 - Stan Kelly is a master of the art. Easily recognizable politicians and a clear if sardonic message. I think about this cartoon often.

Okay actually finished up my votes and comments! If the format I've done this in messes with something, let me know. Worst a Thing Happened: A-3 Low effort, and just "gas expensive!" Oh, Bennett. You used to be so much better than this (and, well, given that he's also got one 'toon in the Best Overall category, shows that he HAS still got it...). Worst two Things Happened: AD-5 If you gotta overexplain your reference like that, maybe just... maybe just don't. Worst Queen Elizabeth Obituary: WQE-3 For the absolute sheer laziness of it. Couldn't even be arsed to put any more colour on there, or even include her birth and death years. Most Any Day Now: ANY-2 Close between the two Bennetts. But the first one at least has some kind of grounding in reality. Least Concealed Bigotry (General): BG-1 What the gently caress even are these caricatures Least Concealed Bigotry (Antisemitism): BAS-3 Yeah, that's... that's pretty blatant. The bloody hand Garrison was a contender, but felt less overt about it. Least Concealed Bigotry (LGBTQ+): BLGBT-2 Good god this loving category. Changed my mind at least twice. But I gotta give this gently caress you to Pat Cross, who won't be missed. Least Concealed Bigotry (Race): BR-7 This category too. I just. Had multiple options but Branco took it in the end. Least Concealed Bigotry (Transphobia): BT-11 Oh my loving god. Stiglich barely edges out Skelley's 2, since that one did not have a hateful caricature on it. Worst Caricature: C-22 Almost voted for Rall's AOC, but okay, yeah, you know what, this one is worst in multiple senses of the word. Worst Concern Trolling: CT-3 Oh gently caress off with "video games" and "TV" Worst Gaslighting: G-18 Yeah basically literally the same thing I said for the last one, with the added stupidity of "WOKE" in the mix. Laziest Non-Gorrell: L-12 For the double whammy of copy-pasting the same panel three times and not really saying much. Laziest Gorrell: LG-1 Gorrell managed to "A thing happened" the loving war in Ukraine, and did so with an artifacted Earth half full of piss. This is advanced levels of not caring. Worst Label: LB-10 Just edging out the red ink gorrell for the double "War crimes". Most Incomprehensible: MI-3 Most Opposite of Reality: OR-10 Citation loving needed Most Easily Reinterpreted: R-7 I don't know how you're supposed to read this in any way other than "Republicans still think that's actually possible." Worst Roe Cartoon: ROE-5 Oh gently caress all the way off with that. Worst Cartoon about a Tragedy: TG-5 So, Branco, what do you suggest we do to prevent it happening again? Worst Cartoon about Ukraine: UKR-3 Couldn't even be arsed to clean up Carmen's outline. Really shows you care about Ukraine. Most Willfully Dense: WD-1 I don't even have much to say about this more than that I hate it. Best Edit/Parody: P-8 It's beautiful and more profound than anything the actual Leunig has managed to produce since he started being posted. Worst Overall: WO-21 So, yeah. Had it in the Roe category as well. But good loving god the level of hatred against so many kinds of people here. ""Only those dirty immigrants rape so if we get rid of all of them women won't need reproductive rights" - A woman" - A man. So congratulations, Skelley, you get this one. Best Overall: BO-12 This one's just so incredibly effective with how at first you don't really notice anything out of the ordinary, and then comes the gut punch. 7 was a very close second, and a honourable mention has to go to 18.

Worst a Thing Happened: A - 6; Gross Worst two Things Happened: AD - 4 Worst Queen Elizabeth Cartoon: WQE - 4 Most Any Day Now: ANY - 2 Least Concealed Bigotry(General): BG - 3 Least Concealed Bigotry(Antisemitism): BAS - 4 Least Concealed Bigotry(LGBTQ+ other than pure transphobia): BLGBT - 5 loving Gross Least Concealed Bigotry (Race): BR - 8; This was difficult Least Concealed Bigotry(Transphobia): BT - 11; loving nightmare nominees. Holy poo poo Worst Caricature: C - 31; Ties with 22 for being most needlessly cruel Worst Concern Trolling: CT - 3 Worst Gaslighting: G - 15; This was difficult too Laziest Non-Gorrell: L - 25 Laziest Gorrell: LG - 1; What a hack. Worst Label: LB - 10 Most Incomprehensible: MI - 11 Most Opposite of Reality: OR - 10; "Purebloods" gently caress off Most Easily Reinterpreted: R - 12 Worst Roe Cartoon: ROE - 5; Had to throw in that extra dash of racism Worst Cartoon about a Tragedy: TG - 9; Even though 13 and 10 were close Worst Cartoon about Ukraine: UKR - 1; Though what the gently caress is up with the Looney Tunes poo poo in 2? Most Willfully Dense: WD - 1; Tornado wiped two towns of the map in Mississipi last night but sure. Whatever you say. Also special gently caress you to WD-3 for using a lynching to smear someone. Best Edit/Parody: P - 12; Shout out to Exodia. 22 was good too Worst Overall: WO - 20; A lot of horrible hateful poo poo but this one got to me the most. Best Overall: BO - 12; This one was loving hard. Kelly had two masterpieces, Bennett of all people came in at the clutch, Morland's was inspired. Pope, Two Bulls, Alcaraz, Jones, Shakespeare all did good work. It's just the insidiousness of Luckovich's is perfect. When you finally see it it crushes you.
