This reads like it's against the law. I mean, the dude is blind, so Lester has to be pushing to get this AGC'd. Also, love that dog

I'm hoping this is the case, Lester can be right like anyone, every once in a while in spite of other times. Also, because I got overshadowed by Buttcoins at the bottom of a page.

Mister Beeg posted:Since it's already out in the open, here's the Ted Rall blogpost where he linked to the cartoons I did. Check out the comments. A surprisingly tepid response from that guy, maybe he's on mood stabilizers? Or maybe, he who stares too long at the poop when the poop is staring back at him gets touched through his own eyes by the reflection of the poop that sees you seeing him.  P.S. I thought The World Today Is Just Nuts was a Goon thing. It's real, isn't it? Don't answer. I know now to trust that feeling of chilling, despairing realization.

Yeah, the Lester cartoon is bending my brain a little bit, but maybe it's just his dislike of Muslims, and how he's imagining they'll use these "religious freedom" laws, overriding his dislike of gay people.

Another defense to my skills as an artist would be how difficult it is for people who attempt to parody me to replicate my style. Charles Schulz had a very simple drawing style too, but whenever you try to copy it, you realize how sophisticated it is. How pathetic.

The vast majority of tax law issues are based on rebuttable presumptions against the taxpayer that they must prove is not the case (that is, the burden is with them), so, uh, what's the message here?

Somfin posted:But in the comments gently caress, that means Rall is on a level below Muir because he doesn't put his vectored plop on a pedestal. Sure, he doesn't explicitly declare with every strip, "Oh, hey, this is just poo poo I traced after copy-pasting the latest load from Drudge Report," but he doesn't call clenched-fist scribbles sophisticated. Talk about damning Charles Schultz with feint praise, too: his work is widely copied to such an extent that the original cannot be told from the copies.  Edit:

I feel like I shouldn't be surprised by how many "global warming isn't real and/or isn't influenced at all by humans" comics there are, but I really am. It's an endless font of denial.

Linguica posted:As a black man, he shouldn't have to serve members of an organization that actively despise and work to marginalize people like him. This is precisely the same as a gay couple trying to patronize a store owned by a Christian because Conservatives are quick to rationalize how business owners are supposed to maximize their profits and thus never increase wages beyond the minimum, but denying service to paying customers is ok so long as you disagree with the customer's lifestyle.

Almost all newspaper comics that followed peanuts owed something of their style or presentation to Schultz and his work. No one is going to be influenced by Ted Rall's art.

Also, some dummy responding to another post in the parody thread: jerk posted:1. “Ted Rall, whose ineptitude at art is matched only by the size of his ego.” (a)Dilbert is a pretty terrible comic strip and (b)one of the few things in a Ted Rall cartoon worse than the art is the writing, so I don't think this is a very strong defense.

Well that's a reasonable cartoon, Ukraine is falling victim to a world power influence game and Russia decided to flex it's military muscle in response. there's no 'glorification' of Russia, just a representation of how Russia is responding to events in Ukraine.

Dirty Job posted:Conservatives are quick to rationalize how business owners are supposed to maximize their profits and thus never increase wages beyond the minimum, but denying service to paying customers is ok so long as you disagree with the customer's lifestyle. If refusing some possible customers causes other customers to intensify their support then it's a smart business move. Obviously that wasn't the case here because conservatives vastly underestimated how many people supported their position, but the idea that a bigger pool of potential customers always makes you more money is the same logic that Rand Paul used to argue that the civil rights act was unnecessary.

Eh, it kind of puts the EU and US on the same terms of internal meddling with Russia, which in this specific case at least is really not what's going on. Plus it completely removes the agency of the people of Ukraine on both sides of the issue. It's the aspect of Latuff's work that I don't like, everything is assigned to East vs. West imperialism at it's heart and in some cases he has to shoehorn it in a bit. Sir Rolo posted:
There's so much intellectual dishonesty here it's hard to stomach. And I mean not just stuff like quoting Spike Lee and 1946 Robert Byrd, or even the quotes which come from dubious sources. What really gets me is quoting LBJ in this strip and the last strip to try to impugn him on this subject. The man signed the Civil Rights Act and The Voting Rights Act. As Republicans love to remind us, he was a bully who pushed people around to get what he wanted. Which implies black civil rights were high on his list of priorities. It's like when people try to twist around Lincoln's legacy because he wasn't completely enlightened by 21st century standards. Even as flawed, and hell, possibly racist figures, one of them freed the slaves and the other began the serious start to dismantling Jim Crow. It always makes my blood boil when racists try to write off those actions off with some kind of 'real racist' jujitsu. cafel fucked around with this message at 10:00 on Mar 2, 2014 |

A school banned students wearing american flag t-shirts during cinco de mayo (I assume, I just heard it was a celebration). Which sounds bad, and of course is all that anyone reported, but the students were using the flag and t-shirt to harass and intimidate and abuse hispanic students to the extent that there were legitimate safety and security concerns. It was an entirely appropriate ruling. Naturally, every racist worth his salt has been crawling out of the woodwork to bitch and moan about the "antiamerican" ninth circuit despite, or most likely because, of the harassment.
