Horsey's also falling for the same fallacy many others do when they say music/film/whatever was better back then: when they only remember the classics it's easy to think there were only the classics. When all you remember is famous people you might make the mistake of thinking there were only famous people.

Payne is afraid of the EPA regulating cars because they might ban them and then he can't draw bumper sticker cartoons for his entire output without looking behind the curve.

He draws nice planes/trains/automobiles, and can generally (generally!) compose a scene. It's pretty much that + wishy washy human interest cartoons that got him the Pulitzers, I think. I hope. No one could actually look at Wormbama and then award its creator the highest award in editorial cartooning.


Right?

I'm proud of Oregon for having relatively sane congressional districts. There are a few border irregularities, but as far as I can tell those are mostly to ensure an equal number of people in each district.



Some states (like Arizona) have an independent/bipartisan office for redistricting. Which I think does manage to stop most of the stupidity.

Phoenix being buried under snow is a pretty drat strong argument for climate change occurring, Branco. Just FYI.

Discendo Vox posted:

My understanding is that Brewer is actually fairly politically savvy. She's just been operating as a politician with a base and constituency of, well, Arizonans.

Arizona politics are kind of weird. Most people think of the state is being hardline Republican, but we elected Janet Napolitano as governor twice; the only reason Brewer is even in office is because we have no lieutenant governor, so the State Secretary is first in line. Phoenix pretty much carries the state in elections but the two largest cities out of the Valley are college towns and, with much of the rest of the state, actually go blue. Honestly with the high population of Hispanics, influx Californians, and the large group of seniors reaching the end of their lives I could see Arizona going blue within 20 years.

Couldn't Payne have made the fireplace a burning building or bonfire or anything that isn't completely benign and commonplace in many homes? I mean try to have a little bit more skill with your craft for fucks sake.


edit: This is really bugging me. Look at that scene without the labels. A rather normal if large fireplace and a freaked out firefighter saving a scrap of paper? It's stupid on it's face and would have been completely fine if the fire was drawn in some more threatening form that a firefighter may actually be worried about. I'm not an artist, and I don't have a great eye for composition or metaphors, but this reads like Payne half thought the idea up and then realized a burning building would be hard to label so he went with the nice straight mantel of a fireplace.

You're asking the man whose idea of biting political commentary is an enormous bumper sticker on Obama's car that he totally drives everywhere.

What's the point of Tinsley making GBS threads all over college graduates? What, he thinks they're dumb because they went to college? Sorry, Tinsley, but nobody today gets a well paying job without a college degree of some. But you wouldn't know that seeing as how your profession is among the most useless.

No you see, in Tinsley's day you left home the day you turned 18, never to return again. Because the only reason modern graduates can't afford their own housing is because they weren't money smart like the graduates of Tinsley's era.

You are a loving disgusting misogynist moron for reposting that vile poo poo. Literally no one on the side of the gamers is "reasonable" it's an entire group of internet losers taking out their frustrations on their completely failed lives and their disgusting ugly bodies on a group of innocent people who literally can not be out alone at night without fearing for their lives in this country. The truth is nowhere near the loving middle, it is the exact opposite of the gamergate side of things and I'm not sure it's even possible to bring justice to these nerd shutin fucks for all of the anguish they have caused, it's that bad, and congratulations fuckface, you contributed to it.
