This was pretty much the closest to bad cartoons. There obviously wasn't a place for racism or misogyny or any of the other notes that the regulars commonly hit. Just a number of bland ones and some that were really tone deaf to the point of almost glorifying suicide. Still pretty bad, but not really on the same scale as what's frequently seen here.

ComradeCosmobot posted:Yeah, it's interesting that the categories are weighted to the last three news cycles or so. Not only are Ebola and Ukraine missing categories, but as I noted, illegal immigration is too (because least concealed bigotry means immigration has to compete with police brutality and Middle East politics, which also get their own standalone categories on top of that) A category for The Interview struck me as weird, since there were definitely more standout Ukraine, Immigration, Ebola, and even Golfing Obama toons, and those were harped on much longer. Even this year's batch of "If Global Warm Why Cold" morons had a richer selection, I thought. The topical categories make it look like only the last two months matter. Admitting, of course, that the police brutality and CIA torture issues certainly have brought out the absolute worst bile from the usual hacks.

Honestly I think more crap was posted about good cartoons on the topic, like Erika Moen's, than was discussed about the usual suspects' offerings.

I feel like Gorrel should get a lifetime achievement award for lazy cartooning and then be disqualified from future aborties. Dudes in a league of his own. The Catalino bat boy obama seems like a sure thing for worst caricature.

To offset the natural bias toward recent cartoons and events, I'm going to try to post nominees from the first half of the year where possible. Worst Middle East Cartoon Worst Police Brutality Cartoon Worst Torture Report Cartoon Worst The Interview Cartoon Worst cartoon about a tragedy Worst caricature  Goombama always and forever the worst caricature. Worst "A Thing Happened" cartoon Worst Label  Things you can blame on Bergdahl. Deserting his post, Obama's decision to do a prisoner exchange, Obama's decision to not involve Congress, and Ross Gosse. Least concealed bigotry in a cartoon Laziest cartoon Most easily reinterpreted Overall worst political cartoon of the year Best Edit/Parody The nomination is for the entire collection of Ye Fowl Herald, not just this one.

God are there some Gay Abortions this year. Worst Middle East Cartoon  Kirschen is a hard bar to top, but let's no forget the contributions of Greenberg in promoting the narrative of "evil palestinians throwing their children in front of honorable Israeli missiles." EDIT: thanks Not My Leg for catching this. Fixed. Worst Police Brutality Cartoon  I, monstrous Eric Holder, by saying that the police are racist, am in fact the real racist. Worst Torture Report Cartoon  Ramirez you disingenuous poo poo, you cheer for the death of Arabs daily. Worst cartoon about a tragedy  Child refugees from Central America are a human rights disaster, but let's no lose focus on the real issue here: Amnesty, and how Obama keeps hitting it with a stick to make Latino votes fall out. Worst caricature  Can't let 2014 pass without remembering the tornado of misogyny and stupidity that was Gamergate. "Drawing our enemies as anti-Semitic caricatures will make us look super awesome and cool, like the Nazis." Worst "A Thing Happened" cartoon  Glenn McCoy here to tell you that the Rams are a bunch of race hustling poseurs. Least concealed bigotry in a cartoon  And yet somehow Gary is the evil brother. Just look at this: the pants, the lips, the backwards letters, the Obama shirt. No doubt in his mind that all African-Americans are sub-human filth waiting for the first opportunity to riot and loot. Overall worst political cartoon of the year  I remember when this was first posted in black and white it prompted three pages of "what the gently caress is this scribbly mess?" Then he released it in color, and it got no better. Star Wars reference. Pee pee doo doo Obama is a gay robot. Just look at the composition, the proportions, the intended message. Political cartoons are not art, and this is exhibit A. Biffmotron fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Dec 22, 2014 |

I have finished my nominations, the rest of you guys probably should too. Also we totally forgot about a Bergdahl category. Still, feel free to browse starting at page 700 in the main thread if you want some really loving bad cartoons/good nominations:     (You're supposed to think Bergdahl's a coward/the bad guy in the last cartoon, believe it or not.) Unfortunately my nominations are already too full to fit any Bergdahl cartoons in. Also Michael Ramirez needs to loving die already. fade5 fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Dec 23, 2014 |

Just think, in about a week we'll be starting out on another month of Mallard's predictions. I think he did at least twenty of them this year, anyone want to take bets on how long it'll be before the hangover wears off and Tinsley feels like doing any work in 2015?

An Incredibly Literal Cartoon about a sharkheaded statue. So the buffalo from buffalo in the cartoon is pulling a ruse "by dangling money over the shark" by snatching the statue away as the article states, but the ruse is kind of on the buyer imho (I dunno, I think it looks silly). I'm just sayin' Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo.
