Why are people complaining about that Rall other than the fact that's it's a Rall?

It's just a big old dealwithit.gif to people whining about legislative changes that are better for the environment. It is pretty much the exact opposite of all those goddamn CFL bulb comics.

I guess it does come off a bit dickish if you seriously are sympathizing with the adult guy that doesn't seem to realize that there are alternatives to plastic bags (further driving home the point that people are so uneducated about this stuff that intervention was needed).

Anyway I liked this comic.

It's a Rall so the assumption is that we're supposed to side with the idiot customer.

Kings are both in checkmate. Can't take out the Queen without being put in check with two pawns. Maybe a subtle commentary about MLKs infidelity and where he's being threatened by his queen, but if he got rid of her, there would be two others ready to pounce or maybe it's a bad cartoon and a worse chess game....

The thing that bothers me most about the right-wingers getting angry about Cuomo's statements is the fact that...well, he's right. A conservative, tea-partier wingnut would have no shot in New York (outside of really local politics). Most of our conservatives are the "socially liberal fiscally conservative" sort in places like Westchester, Nassau, Putnam, and eastern Dutchess (basically rich white people who work in the city and have McMansions in the suburbs). There are a few more traditionally conservative counties up north but they're not terribly populated or nearly as right-wing as most other places.

So it's really odd to see all of them because they obviously don't actually know poo poo about New York itself, just that our Democrat governor said "New Yorkers don't really lean to the extreme right".

tl;dr gently caress.

"Tougher" as in "blatantly criminal." They are literally kidnapping people who lawfully own guns but happened to pass through a state where the Constitution is null and void. Law abiding citizens are having their homes invaded, tazered, and kidnapped by paramilitaries.

Once again, as a New Yorker you are an idiot. Please get some rest. When you wake up, you'll stop being a right-wing nutjob, okay? Good.

And to think, all these years I've been told it wasn't a skirt. My life is a lie. (also this is a ruling that actually happened :stare:)

This comic is already outdated, as the Massachusetts legislature just made it illegal (it turns out that it just didn't happen to be illegal before).

I wonder if any other cartoonists prepared a cartoon about this for today and have to scramble to draw something e- haha no who am I kidding they'll just run it anyway

Get off your drat high horse kid. You and I both know that they're gonna make them half-days or have you have a half-day on Saturday. If it's the latter then your parents are gonna be all "gently caress no my kids aren't going to school on Saturday, this is America and it's your spring break" so they're gonna call you in sick or something. poo poo. Actually that's one of the few things that legitimately makes me angry about the American educational system, the half-days during breaks if you gotta recoup lost days. You're sending the message of "yeah we think it's bullshit too so you're just gonna watch movies in class and not learn anything or whatever" and nothing gets done besides kid butts warming seats in classrooms for four hours.

Though I will cop to remembering when I was a whiny kid in middle school all mad that we were open because there were five inches of snow outside and we just had a delayed opening.

Is that a thing? When I was in school we had full days if we had to make up for snow days.
