I'll say this much for Penny Arcade- considering that their niche could have easily been filled by Scott Kurtz or Tim Buckley, we could have done much worse than Tycho and Gabe. They actually changed their lovely art when they could have continued marketing it to the present day. This was what they rode to success on-

You don't get it, man. You're not supposed to promote policies that help people, that's not how you're supposed to win their votes. You're supposed to win them with massive ad campaigns bankrolled by libertarian billionaires who attack your opponents as communofascist Hitlers.

You can be really skilled, but if you don't use steroids, you're at a disadvantage competing at that level? That's how I understand it.

If everybody was using steroids (which is how this is starting to look), wouldn't they have all been on the same level playing field? I mean, granted, it sucks for the guy who wants to have a pro baseball career without shriveled testicles, but if it's roids versus roids some skills are still necessary. Technically speaking Babe Ruth was pretty hugely advantaged by segregation, which meant he never had to face off with high quality players in the Negro League. But that doesn't mean he lacked skills.

PEDs basically helped the players recover from injury and play more. Steroids don't hit home runs.

The LBJ quote comes from an Air Force One steward who was interviewed in a dishy book thirty years after the fact. Not nothing, but shaky regardless.

Yeah, I googled it and all that came out was angry conservatives yelling about entitlements and how "liberals are the real racists" so I'm surprised it even had that much grounding in reality.

This doesn't make any loving sense, what do they want Obama to do about Ukraine? The only thing I could see the US doing which would have any impact would be offering them a huge rear end economic aid package, which is never going to happen because we don't really have a compelling stake in Ukraine. Why doesn't the cartoonist offer suggestions instead of saying 'Obama dumb'?

Fake edit: I just noticed that cartoon is dated 2-22, so before Yanukovych's government fell apart and he fled the capital. I can see Dials really had his finger on the pulse of the situation.

My favorite thing about all these people decrying cutting military spending yet bemoaning too much spending is that the Army has begged congress to stop giving out contracts to make tanks because they have so many they can't use there are tanks that are literally falling apart after having sat unused for years. But congress keeps hanging out contracts for more tanks! Clearly the military doesn't need its spending cut!

And given LBJ's attitudes about race from all the way back to when he taught at a segregated school for latinos, it would be extremely out of character.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Um, I'm pretty sure that's an aerial shot of an air and space museum's storage, not our actual current weapon systems. For one thing, it's namede on the watermark in the middle of the image.

Man, that metaphor was old when Dials was born. And if anyone is going to abuse it, it should be Cagle, who has painstakingly copied the exact same checkers vs chess sketch with every possible configuration of living, historic, mythological and symbolic players.

Good god, how did me posting about Bill Watterson end up with a Penny Arcade derail?

Back in the good 'ol days of web comics when you could slap an image up that said something like "No comic today I am not feeling that well/overslept/got high, but I'll be back tomorrow!" and then skip updates for a week.

It's actually the AMARC Boneyard in Tucson, AZ. Most of the aircraft kept there are Vietnam era, some older than that. But yeah, not really representative of current US military inventory.

This is a local MacKay. There's a government-run corporation, Metrolinx, which is responsible for a massive ongoing investment in transit infrastructure in the Toronto area. I guess MacKay (or at least one of Hamilton's city councillors) is upset that Hamilton isn't getting as much investment as the other cities.

For the record, this is the same councillor featured in this earlier MacKay cartoon:
