Notorious QIG posted:The best part about this is "best decor of tentsite" as if literally only The Homosexuals care about making things look nice and Real Men don't give a poo poo. Real men pitch sloppy-rear end tents. Unless you're in  The Military in which case anything but an immaculately tidy tentsite is grounds for discipline.(Actually in real backpacking, there are good reasons to favour a really clean, organized tentsite) (I guess this definition of "look nice" is different than "decor" though, still, gently caress this cartoon)

Samurai Sanders posted:I successfully bought a PS4 on day one at Kmart just because almost no one else thought to go there. I haven't used it for any other purpose in years. Likewise a few weeks ago before that East Coast snowstorm every Home Depot in the region was out of snow shovels so I went to the local Kmart and they had a ton. Their true benefit was that no one thinks to go there for anything apparently.

It was really bad when the Dixie Chicks were lambasted for making an anti-war statement, to have these jackasses paid for this is too much. For someone to say that "politician X is bad because Y" is okay, to say "I hate politician X because I hate her" is not acceptable, it's best left to the editorial page where any jackass is put on display for their idiocy and bad opinions.

Penny Arcade is one of, if not the most successful webcomics of all time. Regardless of what you think of the guys (they're horrible) they're definitely worth interviewing for a documentary about cartoonists.

And let's be honest, the only reason he picked up that Alex Sink thing is almost certainly because one of the right-wing blogs he reads posted it as more evidence that Democrats are the real racists.

Here are some cartoons 1Uh...wow.  2I didn't even read this one, and yet I still can safely predict that it's boring.  3Those ghosts are taking him away to exact their revenge   4That Uganda guy   5If you locked Rall in a room and told him he had to make a cartoon without captions explaining every panel, I think he'd cry and shoot himself.  6Tom Tomorrow is on Medium's Nib now. Not sure if this has been posted yet.  7We haven't seen Liccar in a while and...oh god what is going on  8Child labor regulations must be getting lax.  9You might think this has already been posted, but that was a different cartoonist making the obvious comparison.

Bloom County had censored words which fit since you knew the types of characters involved were saying some raw stuff but there's no way that would get past an editor. Additionally Berke Breathed would get meta about it a lot and use comic conventions like sound effects, sight gags, and censored curse words as 4th wall breaking jokes.

Coming from TFR, my favorite part of that Tom Tomorrow is that unlike most politoons "I dunno some kinda wood thing with a rectangle sticking out the bottom" he actually tried to draw specific guns and properly. I think he might have even looked at some pictures of actual guns prior to trying to draw one, wow! I know, I know, it seem like a silly thing to fuss over but this is like the assholes that draw cars that resemble no production model automobile in the entirety of automotive history and how loving lazy that is when there's ample pictures of cars to study. You might even own a car yourself you could model the drawing on, wow!

That the only reason anyone has trouble buying food is because they've spent everything on stupid poo poo, and if we give them more money they'll only spend it on more stupid poo poo while clamoring for even more money.

More specifically and less Tumblrily than this: Tycho is good at talking to people, but Gabe had problems with bullies growing up that have given him a pretty severe persecution complex and an unusually broad definition of "bully" (anyone who antagonizes him in any way for any reason). It makes him act really entitled and lash out like a vindictive manchild when he's clearly in the wrong. People on Something Awful, a website for showcasing the flaws of people who misbehave on the Internet, have fixated on this because it's basically our job. Internet Webguy posted:
