I got one from smacking my face into the edge of a metal bench when I was little. It was right in the typical badass kewl scar position. Tragically, it went away within a month. I could have been even more of an IRL animu character.

Edit: Basically, odds are if it was deep enough to leave a permanent scar, you probably lost the eye in the process.

I'll agree that he's comparatively better than some of the stuff in this thread, but don't you think you're over-selling it a bit? There are teens on tumblr doing homestuck fanart that are somehow leaps and bounds ahead of him.

(I also agree the world would be a better place if he was blogging homestuck opinions instead of right wing political cheerleading)

This thread destroys people's brains. It's the only possible explanation.

Am I being trolled with this? What does Macklemore have to do with the content of peoples posts? Your a black female, so people pointing out obviously racist imagery is not ok? Huh? Hey guys, I'm gay, stop pointing out the rampant homophobia in Lester's comics, you pampered male white straight liberals :argh:


There's a certain degree of ironic humor in Necroneocon complaining about bad opinions given her tastes in video games, but I'm pretty sure her complaint is about how many posters just go "That's racist!" without anything more substantial than that.

Nicotine on its own isn't nearly as addictive as the chemical cocktail that's in tobacco, it's why nicotine patches are so ineffective at helping people quit.

My understanding is that the problem is complicated by South African politics, which is dominated by the ANC, and which is massively corrupt and inept on multiple levels. This has a number of causes, but it provides a wonderful rationale for continued smug racism by the white minority. This is further inflamed by the members of the government who blame the corruption problems on, and persecute, whites in the country. Both populations are filled with horrible people- it's just weird to us because the power dynamic is in some contexts reversed- although my understanding(entirely thirdhand) is that whites in SA face nothing within orders of magnitude of what blacks in the US have experienced.

The police there are even more worthless at protecting people than the US's are, but the problems white folks have there are not government sanctioned, dude.

Pierre Zaius made that. He's pretty good and his comics are fairly reminiscent of Crumb.
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/pierrezaius/

edit: and he did a six page comic on an elephant man and a donkey man who worked in a political cartoon having a reunion a few years after their cartoonist quit. It's not really his best work but there are a handful of decent editorial cartoon parodies in there:
page one
page two (parodies are in this one)
page three (and this one, but there's more text covering them up)
page four
page five
page six

He used to post here under the name "No X In Nixon" in the LF politoon threads.

One of the books we got assigned in high-school had a child that had been sexually abused. We didn't get told poo poo beforehand.
I was pretty drat jaded even by then, so it didn't bug me too much, but I'm pretty drat sure other kids who were molested probably wouldn't have been as blasé about it.
It's a good move, and you're a pretty big shithead if you just construe this as being SJW nonsense.

I think this image confirms something I've thought for a long time; Politics, just the very idea, the concept of politics, is universally awful. It creates bad people. If the only impression I ever had of the McCoys was their silly, non-political cartoons I'd think these were people I'd like to be friends with. And then I see what they do when politics are involved and I want to see them get hit by a bus.

Gary at the very least would still be human filth, sorry.

Literally on the last page, and mentioned at least once in this page:

Look at that. Whites are the minority, that's not traditional. Not only what he is actually saying, but the actual meaning he's trying to get across, and not even in a subtle, dog-whistle kind of way. So the comic isn't even being ridiculous or hyperbolic for effect. O'Reilly is concerned about the skin colour of the American people, and complains that it is not traditional.

It's one thing to blindly slag off those who you disagree with, but refusing to acknowledge their obvious flaws to avoid "division" is an equal but opposite kind of bullshit.

Thank you, you said it better than I could.

Actually support for the Iraq war is one of JJ's earlier political stances and one that he held onto for a disproportionately long amount of time. Like the neoconservatives who go on TV everywhere and offer their opinions on Iraq, he still feels slightly married to the position that the Iraq war was the correct thing to do. This isn't an Us v. Them thing for him, it's about him not fully coming to terms with how enthusiastically he supported on of the worst ideas in decades.

Full disclosure: I am okay friends with JJ and its always been surreal to see him despised as much as todd rall

It's mostly backlash, honestly. He was somewhat well liked for his cute art, but his repulsive opinions slowly turned us against him, and the fact that he was once liked makes him all the more hated.

Rall manages to inspire that kind of hate without ever having been enjoyed by anyone.
