Remember that a political cartoonist's job is equal parts propagandist and troll. Gary's not very good at either one, but he accomplished the trolling well enough by pissing off leftists with that move.

Stantis is pretty lovely, but he's also literally the only regularly posted cartoonist who's ever recanted a bad opinion.

From a few pages back, but this deserves some love, because he actually rode the metaphor all the way through and delivered a joke at the end. Discendo Vox posted:I'm also O-tier. Maybe that's the best way of thinking about it- gay male donors are banned from tournament play for being OP. This is the gooniest thing I've read in a while, and I love it. Bonus points for a sideways Sagat reference even though he's banned not for being OP (Boxer and Dhalsim are regarded as overall stronger) but for making the metagame boring.

Nevermind that George W Bush had issued more executive orders in his first term than Obama has up to this point. I had no idea that there were presidents who issued them well into the four digits, though.

Alacron posted:I worked on the 2010 census for a couple months before I got another job, but I never had ANYTHING that bad. Granted, most of my area was suburbs, but I still got harassed by by a guy who kept asking me about how much money I made and a woman cussed me out because I left our little "Census wuz here" note in her door. The amount of suspicion people have for the census is pretty baffling. Granted, some people get confused because they take the long-form census (which takes a loving eon over the phone) and then are surprised when they have to take the short-form again, but there's a sizeable minority who think that the government knowing their name, address, and ethnicity is too much information. I used to joke with my fellow enumerators that the government has better things to do than keep tabs on Joe Schlub up the street, but apparently that's not true. My personal favorite case was a guy who told me he didn't trust "government-types" at all and refused to say anything to me beyond that over three or four visits. Handed off the case to another enumerator who was an attractive white woman and she got his information in one shot.

To bring this Penny Arcade discussion full circle, one of the PA guys said that as a young boy, his school had a local political cartoonist come in and talk about the profession once. The whole thing left a sour taste in the PA guy's mouth and he had a disdain for political cartoons ever since. The cartoonist in question?

Did Muir actually admit to copping a joke off of Bill Cosby? I was going to mention that it is originally Cosby's joke, but I figure by now that it's so common, it wasn't worth bringing up. Good to know that Chris Muir and Carlos Mencia are roughly on the same level.

Please source your quotes, because that's a level of unreal that I'm still ready to disbelieve.

Internet Webguy posted:He's getting an official tribute in World of Warcraft since he played it frequently. I'm starting to see where the depression may have developed... You're making some off-hand snark, but for real, depression and other mood and anxiety disorders are frighteningly common among successful comedians. Go ahead and look up your favorite; he or she probably has depression, bipolar, or some anxiety disorder. And there's really nothing offensive at all about that cartoon about the button-pushing woman. This thread is far too alarmist sometimes.

You can just picture all these conservative cartoonists thinking to themselves "Heh, I sure did stick it to this dead black kid" as they're publishing these pieces of trash. It's really hard to comprehend where hatred this deep even comes from. It makes me like the world just a little bit less.

These Sunday School strips really are the epitome of begging the question. They're always trying to make the argument that God exists as written in The Bible, but in order for the logic to hold any ground, you already have to assume that God exists as written in The Bible. What's even the point? The flimsiness of the logic will never convert unbelievers and the people who already believe already believe.
