Perhaps you've heard of my good friend AF Branco?

I thought everyone knew by now. I mean, the Zodiac killings happened from '68 to '69 in California. Ted Cruz was born in 1970 in Calgary. It's clear as day people; he is the Zodiac.

I've been checking up on Pope's via the Sydney Morning Herald's cartoon page, which has all their cartoonists: http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/cartoons
They only seem to have them in the smaller format though.

Here's the latest, to complete the set.

I've quoted this one before but... man. There's been a bunch of cartoons with the same theme, but if there was a gay abortions for 'best gop reaps what they sow cartoon', this would just be the top dog. Every little detail of it is perfect.

If anyone's wondering this is playing off the fact that supposedly moderate Turnbull absolutely won't stop rolling over for Abbott's hard-right faction and is doing sweet gently caress all when it comes to bringing Abbott's government back to the centre - most recently backing right off from his support for gay marriage.

To give you a rough idea of how long Petty has been cartooning like this, he had been cartooning professionally for nearly two decades when did this topical cartoon featuring a famous US president.

Petty is just Old.

Here's one he did in 1964, in the New Yorker:

I like it. I'm sick of hearing how Trump is the result of this righteous mass anger at our failed system, as if the Trumpeters are who it's really failed and that they aren't just white people who are shocked by not having everything they want all the time and also that colored communist in the White House.

Yeah the people voting for Trump are the people that are angry the GOP isn't loving everyone else enough. That GOP's own fault for constant hate speech but the people that are being "disenfranchised" by the machine for the last few decades are really just angry white people who fell for the lies about who is really responsible for their misery.

It's a meme everywhere at this point. I think the hope for a lot of people saying it is that it'll become so widespread that Cruz will actually have to say something about it even though it's literally impossible for him to actually be the Zodiac Killer. I wouldn't hold my breath on a Cruz response, but I find the meme genuinely funny anyway.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.

Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.; Fun Shoe
