They gently caress you up, those pies and cakes
They may not mean to, but they do
The processed fat the baker bakes
With lots of phosphates, just for you

But they were hosed up in their turn
By fools in high white puffy hats
Who were stepped on by corp'rate goons
With cinder blocks and baseball bats

Man hands on calories to man
They fatten like a Keebler elf
Eat your veggies when you can
And don't bake any cakes yourself

Weird. As much of a poo poo as Allie is, normally he's pretty good at portraying a message, but in this cartoon it took me a few re-reads before I even understood how people were reading it as anti-MSNBC. At first glance it looks like ":rolleyes: Stupid hired 'experts' complaining about the media and ignoring the real problem when the real person knows exactly what's going wrong."

No fair...I finally decide to go ahead and make a PYF thread for edits, and not only find out that did Gay Abortions Awards added a category for that, but apparently this is now something we just do at the beginning of the new thread anyway. Well, here it is if for some reason someone wants to look at the ones posted thataway.

Anyway, this thread moves too fast for me to comment most of the time. But I do make a point of trying to post Dahl's Japan. Roger Dahl is a cartoonist working for the Japan Times- he's been doing normal stuff for twenty years, but started doing political cartoons in 2009 presumably because the paper offered him more money. As far as I know he's the only paid cartoonist who makes English language political cartoons about Japanese politics. Don't feel bad if you're a goon living in Japan but haven't heard of him. The Japan Times' primary audience is not native English speakers, but Japanese people who want to practice their English.

I like posting Dahl because his cartoons are bad, but only in the generic sense. The art isn't an incomprehensible scribble, and his opinions aren't repulsive. The metaphors, however, are frequently nonsensical. And a lot his cartoons need explanation to make any sense of them at all. These explanations can be interesting, since they're almost always stuff no one outside of Japan has heard of. Although I could have done without learning about the Trans Pacific Partnership. Ugh.

Another fun fact about Dahl- one of his early political cartoons was a plagiarized Bennett, though he might not have done so intentionally. It was commented that at least Dahl had the sense to plagiarize someone good. Yep, that's one of those statements that only makes sense in the context of this thread.

Anyway, it's May 2011 in Dahl's Japan.



I don't know what you were expecting buying a box labeled like that.



Finally, the revolution against the tyranny of elevators has begun.



That woman looks about as confused as I am.



What is with Dahl and rooms lit completely by monitors?



Don't put a diagram up there you fool! Then everyone will know how to read palms!



I want to see a bowing person jump through a hoop now.



How did he draw those rocks? They're completely different from the normal art.



...What?



For some reason I keep seeing that guy as "mad he was asked a dumb question" angry, not "mad at the situation" angry.

SomeGuy, I apperciate you posting Dahl because it's always interesting to see non American cartoonists in the thread, but I wish you'd post them without comment instead of saying "Well this certainly is a cartoon that I don't get! Isn't Dahl stupid for drawing about stuff that happened two years ago?"

As Muiry Sue was in the military, he can go to the VA so long as he meets needs testing (which, being as irresponsible with his finances as he is, he does).

True. It wouldn't surprise me if Muir is probably covered by Medicaid too in real life.

one of the guys on the fairly prominent rightwing blog Powerline blathered about how it just had to be the Swift kids making some commentary on Pajama Boy, because everybody has been following the Pajama Boy saga for the past few weeks and must have very strong feelings about the scandalous Pajama Boy
...
I found out about this from Roy Edroso's blog, where Roy wrote, as he has quite a few times in the past regarding rightbloggers, "Do these guys even know any normal people?"

I have not seen pajama boy anywhere, not even from Republican Facebook friends. I only know about him because I read these forums, and since being a goon is a strange and shameful part of my life, I naturally assume that no normal people know about Pajama Boy and therefore I never bring him up in real life. Ever.
