For a body pillow she sure doesn't exactly sound excited to put out in the last panel. Poor Muir, can't even get sex on demand from his own fantasies.

By "squint" he obviously means "Close our eyes completely and ignore reality".

Poorly phrased, but I think that Alkydere was commenting that Kirschen is just shutting his eyes and dreaming up things Hamas probably does that makes them like ISIS, while claiming that people defending Hamas are focusing on inconsequential details (like whose home was taken from who, whose economy was destroyed by whose blockades and how many of whose children are dead).

Pretty much. Also the guys in the cartoon look like they're just forcing their eyes closed, like they're staring into a bright light, not squinting.

The fact that I don't think I've ever seen a Dry Bones cartoon without everyone in it wearing a poo poo-eating grin makes me want to punch the artist in the neck almost as much for the vile views he has. The cheerfulness of his mouthpieces as they vomit their diarrhetic propaganda on my screen just makes it twice as offensive.

Every time someone screams about IMMIGRANTS, they need to be slapped with this cartoon. Ideally with it wrapped around a baseball bat. America is a nation of immigrants, a melting pot, People coming here only make us stronger and it's high time we loving fixed the immigration system.

Half my family is Florida rednecks, the other half is backwoods Texas rednecks, and I actually did six weeks of work on a Texas ranch summer before last, and I have never heard anybody speak like this in my entire life.

As someone who's lived and grew up in central, coastal and south plains areas of Texas I can tell you only two people actually talk like that: Hollywood/TV "Texans" and people who try to be all "folksy" in a really pathetic attempt to try to fit in after moving here.

There totally is a Texas Twang accent, but goddamn, it does not make you sound like a retarded Foghorn Leghorn.

Seriously, I don't think even Foghorn Leghorn used "growed up".

Also, make your own loving salsa and guacamole. I'm a lazy shitlord but those are so easy to make there's no reason not to. Especially the guacamole (1 can of spicy ro*tel and 2-3 avocados depending on the size).

I don't agree with the way he said it (the chili story was dumb as hell), or the context (conservatives who think they're oppressed are also dumb as hell), but there's a slight amount of insight in his word salad ramblings.

The chili story is also fake as hell too ("Dad, I like jalapenos"), so it's a comically unironic example of astroturfing and conservatives just making poo poo up to feel right.

I've honestly seen a few teachers stick this to their doors as a comic way of expressing the teacher version of the "first class of the new year/semester anxiety".

So basically while it may or may not be AGC, it's not a bad one just because no one can read any political message in it beyond imagining Mrs. Karnel counting the minutes until the class ends and she can finally dig in her desk for her hidden bottle of whiskey.

Huge Liability posted:

What does "taking" mean in this context? I've never heard of this.

A lot of US colleges and universities express the amount of classes you're taking as your hours/week. So if you're "taking" 10 hours of class, that means you generally have 10 hours of lecture a week. Of course I don't know why the guy's so excited to be taking 10 hours, most places require you to take at least 12 to be considered a full time student and get all the perks (reduced cost/class, student loan payments not required that semester, etc.)

Also didn't the Enterovirus outbreak originate in the Midwest? What on earth does that have to do with border security? Is Ramirez just a big enough rear end in a top hat to assume that immigrants caused it or something?

When it comes to conservatives, you can assume the answer is "is X a big enough rear end in a top hat to assume Y" the answer is "yes".

I've lived in Texas my whole life, nobody pulls this poo poo except out of state conservatives desperately trying to fit in. So pretty much Muir, yes.

You forget out of state idiots trying desperately to prove they're locals and always have been by cowboying up. And teenagers still trying to figure out what looks good to people besides their mom.

So, yeah, if you're wearing wide brim hats indoors in Texas and it's not for your job you're pretty much guaranteed to be a lovely person (Republican, Teen, the kind of idiot who believes that the cowboy movies are what Texas is/was really like). Normal baseball caps indoors are merely suspected of being lovely people and given the benefit of the doubt until the wearer opens his mouth.

Oh they're both rather racist. Only the second one is merely insulting the POTUS and demanding he pay for his imaginary crimes, which something conservatives do with every breath.

I think a Do Not Post list is ultimately fruitless endeavor that will lead to a bunch of fighting over who "deserves" to be posted here.

However, I think maybe enforcing a certain threshold of...professionalism (for lack of a better word) might work. Not a lofty one, as that would make the thread exclusively Kelly, Two Bulls, Latuff, and whenever Bors or Bennett do a particularly good cartoon, but I think "don't post whatever poo poo you find on some racist furry's Deviant Art profile" might be a good rule of thumb to follow for next year's thread.

I'm pretty much in agreement. I think the only standard of professionalism we need to aim for is "no MLP poo poo", at least beyond the single comic masterpiece that is Conservative Brony which serves as a reminder of just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Deep enough that all we can do is either laugh or cry as we stare into the abyss.

The landscape is slowly melting into delirium and ~~Muir~~Zed looks increasingly pale, weak, and old. It won't be long now.

That's even better if you look at the backgrounds. The first four panels look like they were ~~stolen~~ smudged from nice, fancy houses. Something out of Better Homes and Gardens. Than you see in the fourth, oh, wait, they're really living in a shack. Finally in the last panel, behind Muiry Sue's inflatable lovedoll the illusion (almost) completely breaks down (Muir still thinks his doll is a real person). It's probably pulled from the same image gallery/magazine and looked nice before, but the way he blurred it I can't see anything but an abandoned, rusty, rotten building falling apart in the background.
