For some reason it seems like the commonly requested cartoons is missing a few really obvious ones but I can't actually think of what they are.

I don't think I have ever seen anyone use DASGC.

I missed the last few months of the previous thread, and there's only one burning question in my mind. What ever happened with the DBD spermjacking plotline?
More interesting plot lines came up so nothing really yet. It turns out she didn't actually spermjack(shocking I know), the russian was near Chernobyl for reasons so it couldn't be his, it hasn't been mentioned much more than in passing since then.

You would have to be a massive narcissist to call reflecting pools narcissistic and a massive idiot to think the 'me' generation would have anything to do with them anyway. But go on saying America is too narcissistic while insisting that everything should about America.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that the new WTC center should have two domes on the side of a single building with a mushroom-shaped BBQ restaurant on top, while snow is shot out of the mushroom on top to honor those lost.

well to be fair the reason Narcissus is Narcissus is because of a reflecting pool
There is no way Muir would know that. Reflecting pools built as monuments to other people isn't really narcissistic. It is probably just something he saw on a blog.

The author clearly intends that we side with Dustin's father in mocking his supposedly shiftless layabout son, but as VitalSigns has posted examples of, most readers go the other direction. It's one of the regular strips that we post in the BSS Comic Strip Megathread, and gets AGC'd quite a bit in that direction. Someone, though I forget who, does "Dustin's supportive family" edits on occasion where the vitriol is replaced with loving encouragement in a non-toxic family environment.

Still can't believe the author hasn't complained about that wiki entry, honestly.And no one got my cups joke.
I don't know how anyone could read that strip regularly and think he intends us to empathize with the son. Individual strips maybe but overall certainly not.

They're going to give her a gynecological exam, presumably to make sure she's not smuggling something in her uterus. In this context, the "stirrups" are the footrests on the exam table, which help keep a patient's legs open.
How does the thing the TSA agent is holding look anything like that though? Why is the person who suddenly doesn't look pregnant have short hair now anyway?

I predict the TSA either don't let her leave saving Muir from having to think up a story line or somehow the TSA causes a miscarriage as ordered by Lord Obama.

I haven't heard Clustercare but it must be a registered trademark. I don't remember Jeopardy having any wheels or clicking sounds. Either that is the joke, which doesn't make sense at all, or Muir doesn't know what Jeopardy is. Analog rotary selector could have been a roulette wheel or a dartboard but no.

Look at this poo poo. This isn't related to the rest of my post, I just found this while looking for the original comic. This may be the laziest art I've seen in a political cartoon short of the ones that are just clipart and wordart smashed together.
All 4 panels are different and all the shapes are filled in so it can't be Kirschen's laziest.

The difference is that Muir's belief system is like a constantly shifting morass of buzzwords and vague, half-constructed concepts, and if you stop watching for even a second you lose track entirely of what the hell everything was supposed to be because you've missed the intermediate steps between knockin' out mah Roosevelts and flipping EPA cars. At least with Ramirez you can just turn on Fox or something and pretty much get what he's going for.
Anything more complicated than "Liberals bad" comes from whatever blog he read this week shoehorned in so previous events aren't really critical to the story. Remember Muir himself often doesn't remember his own plot and lots of times references to previous events have months of not being talked about at all.

It's something I just can't wrap my head around. When you point out that immigration enforcement costs more than what ever drain on the social safety net immigrants are, or how just buying homeless people houses costs less than dealing with the health and safety costs of having them on the street, a lot of people will go for the more expensive option just so they can dick a bunch of people over.

In some ways I can understand callousness if you gain something from it, but hurting yourself just so you have the opportunity to hurt others is loving insane.
Probably with the same reasoning as everywhere else.
"But think of the cultural cost of letting immigrants in your country."
"What about the cost of crime going up?"
ect.

What is weird to em is the place they brought him is drawn so clean by comparison. I would imagine some of the people who are coming on boats would kill to have a clean(ish) tent and such.

For some reason the art in this thing reminds me of that Rall book so just imagine the guy is Rall and see if that helps.

Our protagonist arrives in Jakarta, capital of Indonesia.* After a quick call to inform his dad that he's still alive, he calls to arrange a meeting with the next link in the human trafficking underground railroad: Barack Hussein Obama. Mister Obama promises him a trip aboard a fine yacht. But we all know about Obama's promises, don't we?
