Lately I've been feeling down about the prospects for our nation and civilization in general and I realize it's because I started following this thread again.

In the previous thread a lot of people (including Xylo) did not like it when a shooting happened and people starting eagerly anticipating the first rear end in a top hat to, surprise, be an rear end in a top hat. I think it was particularly bad during the Boston Marathon Bombing, and it makes us look like deranged vultures when poo poo happens and our first response is to rush into the Political Cartoons thread to gossip about who will take a poo poo first.

I don't think you'll get probated for it or anything, but it's considered in bad taste to do it after a tragedy. Some shithead getting sentenced probably doesn't count?

I can settle this: I will take the first poo poo.

Speaking as someone who grew up on The Super Harlem Globetrotters, The Robonic Three Stooges, and Fonz and the Happy Days Gang, I know this man speaks the truth.

Never re-watch the shows you grew up on unless there's a dark room and an open bottle of whiskey nearby.

Are you guys trying to tell me that Hong Kong Phooey and the Funky Phantom don't hold up? :mad:

So far I have hated literally every cartoon made about the shooting in Ottawa that was made by a non-Canadian cartoonist.

Please, please, for the love of God, just stop. Just stop trying to talk about events up here. Just go back to pretending you don't even known we exist. We liked it better that way.

I made the mistake of doing a Google image search on "Canadian political cartoon"...

Republicans have apparently decided that since Hillary is running for president in 2016, "the 90's redux" is a good, winning platform, so they've dredging up all the 90's Clinton "scandals" for another go-around. It's the best combination of laziness, petty grudges, and the proof that Republicans will harp on any "scandal" (real, imagined, or manufactured) no matter how long ago it happened, or how unimportant it was.

For example (borrowing my post from a little while back):

"Cattle futures" is the best, that poo poo happened back in 1978/1979. It was a year before the oldest "Millenials" were even born, loving Ronald Reagan wasn't even president yet, and as of 2016 it will be a 38-year-old story. And once you dig past all that:

So she made a nice chunk of money in the stock market, good for her. What's the problem again?

Another attack Attack on Titan cartoon, this time by Latuff.
Also, those poor kids.:smith:

I'd love to see that happy little Clinton show up on everyone's political cartoons. Right, left, who cares? Tiny Clinton comments on all of them.

Hmmm. Looks sort of like the five pin bowling from when I was a kid, except our pins still looked like bowling pins, just shorter.

So because Fox News has the biggest ratings and is the most watched news source for Americans it is the mainstream media. So basically Fox reporters have been jacking to pictures of Mitch McConnel and Bachmann in celebration. A TMI cartoon.

For some reason I read "Bachmann" as "Batman" and was very confused for a moment.

I'm not sure there's much too it other than Adam 12 was a show about two LAPD(?) officers in the '50s? (maybe '60s?). Their car was 1-Adam-12. It was very wholesome in a 1950s/60s Nick at Night kind of way.

E: Beaten, it was late 60s and early 70s.

In L.A. "Adam" cars are two man units, "Lincoln" cars are single officer units. I think the cop in Die Hard had a Lincoln call sign which would've been an accurate usage.

Adam-12 is on Netflix, as is Emergency!, an EMT-centered spinoff. They were both created by Jack Webb, the guy who created and played Joe Friday on Dragnet. It's moderately entertaining, though obviously pretty dated.

There was an episode of Emergency! where a guy was choking because after removing the pull tab from his beer he dropped it into the can before he started guzzling it. It still make me squirm a little to think of choking on a can's pull tab.

EDIT: Thank you wikipedia for letting me know that the episode has been haunting me since 1975. :gonk:

Anyone familiar with Ron Cobb? He worked for Disney on "Sleeping Beauty" until he was laid off upon the film's completion. After that he took various illustration jobs, including his stint as an editorial cartoonist for the underground Los Angeles Free Press newspaper.

Is this the same Ron Cobb that did concept art for Alien?

Don't forget the thing that 99% of news media stories about their encounter left out, which is that Darren Wilson is also 6'4"

I didn't know that. Definitely fell for the media impression that he was at a significant physical disadvantage against Brown.
