Yes.

You could AGC it by saying that the Editor is a capitalist pig who values profits over the poor cartoonists' lives, but it's Mac, so I remain skeptical.

That Rall one where he is complaining about not getting a job in response to a massacre is awful. Probably tied with his Ebert one for most tone-deaf and self-involved comic.

Can I nominate Gunduz Aghayev for something? He's an Azerbaijani satirist who misses as many times as he hits, and looks like he's going for painfully edgy/shock tactics most of the time.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Rall's inability to draw is something else. I had blocked out that one cartoon

If you look closely the wallpaper pattern's gotten hosed up in the newer version, too. I'm guessing compression artifacts from when he changed the signed date and footer.

Yea, if someone is published or of some note they are eligible whether they are a regular of the Politoon thread or not. We are just asking not to pull some random rear end in a top hat's deviantart scribblings.

I almost think there should be an exception for cartoons reprinted around Christmas, even if they don't say that they're reprints. Not to say that Dry Bones hasn't rerun other comics this year, but it's a pretty common practice, I think.

Yeah I think this is what makes me hate Rall the most: that he is constantly whining about how great he is and that he deserves a job/a pulitzer/to be the supreme leader of the revolution but he can't even be assed to learn how an arm works. And I hear millennials are lazy :rolleyes:

Nearly: he wants to put Muhammad on the cover so that his children's comic will draw a massacre and sell more copies.

The fact that he actually changed the year on the reprint (when he doesn't normally do that) gives the impression he's trying to pass it off as a new comic.
