Well, you see, it turns out that Matthew Yglesias is a huge hypocrite. I mean, how can you write this blistering hit piece on GE and then reach a business agreement with the very same company later?? It just does not. make. sense. Hang on—I'm also receiving word that vox.com is also RUN using electricity! Nice try, Ezra Klein, but you've got to get up pretty early in the morning to get one past me!

The gently caress does anybody care? vox is the new masthead run by Yglesias and Ezra Klein, both of whom have relatively good, and relatively deserved, reputations as being subject-matter knowledgable journalists. Klein ran the "wonkblog" for the Washington Post for a number of years, and his work there did a great deal to preserve that publication's value. There's no guarantee that vox will be any good, but its owners are at least capable of walking the walk and talking the talk. Muir is likely targeting it because the owners, as relatively policy and numeracy-literate journalists, are openly Democrat-leaning. chairface posted:Did you tell her "yes"?

Vogon Poet posted:My wife, who doesn't know who Ted Rall is, just glanced at my screen while this image was displayed and said, "Who drew that? A retarded blind child?" Rall's style does reminder me of outsider art - it feels like he concentrates on drawing all the faces, and then just fills in the rest of frame later as an afterthought. I don't think that he plans any of the composition. I know he's said that this is part of his 'the world is grotesque, so is my art' style, but it lead to all the weird perspective and body shape problems. They all feel like first drafts of blocking for other cartoons. Has he done any 'How to draw like Ted Rall' or 'This is how I draw a panel' videos. They'd be fascinating in a rubber-necking kind of way. Speaking of outsider art - The World Today is Just Nuts feels like a weird Rorschach test in group-think where a bizarre scribble is interpreted by this thread and I feel like I'm saying 'Oh, yeah - if all the cool kids see Rachel Maddow, I do too' before the same image gets posted and everyone agrees that it's John Kerry or Vladimir Putin.

The woodcut of Super-Obama with a Hello Kitty underneath led me to an amazing early political cartoon: Death is my role model. Are they going into battle? He doesn't care. He threw on a curtain and he's riding a backwards-facing pitchfork into the time of his life. Anyway, the most obvious politics is that you sucked, you stupid priest/bishop/pope, and in 1500 Jesus will be back and pissed and your head will be eaten by a lion! Power to the people! Albrecht Dürer's Apocalypse series is amazing altogether, with some more obvious political commentary going on and a hell of a lot I can't pick up on because I don't know much about the times or symbolism or the rise of Protestantism or art or Revelation. The best source for images seems to be Wikimedia Commons, but it's all a disorganised mess: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Albrecht_D%C3%BCrer_woodcut_series_-_Apocalypse The Wizard of Oz fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Mar 16, 2014 |

MisterBadIdea posted:Recently, someone explored the archives of The World Today Just Nuts, and revealed that its creator is a hardcore feminist (if that's even the right word. "Female chauvinist" maybe?) who opposes Barack solely out of loyalty to Hillary, and also liked Palin a lot. I haven't seen a single one that jibes with that bit of info, unless there's been some pro-Hillary ones that I haven't seen. Did anyone else have to see a whole bunch of them of before accepting that the name of the cartoon is, in fact, "The World Today Just Nuts" and the cartoonist wasn't accidentally leaving out the "is," or was that just me?

XyloJW posted:Calling bullshit on this, everyone knows who Ted Rall is. Jesus Christ, it all makes sense now. He doesn't believe he should be a significant figure, he believes he already is, like he achieved mainstream success and is a major figure in cartooning. A loving household name like Walt Disney. His Generalissimo Bush thing is up there with chimp-like face in Bush memes. His reaction to his kickstarter not getting funded makes more sense too; he thinks his millions and millions of fans just scratched their stupid monkey butts instead of flinging money at him. Of course he is popular enough to achieve his goals - he's Ted Rall! He isn't "why haven't they discovered me" but "they already know about me but won't start my revolution??" Any lack of recognition for his work is due to malicious intent. It's one thing to have such an ego you believe you should be the next hot thing in cartoons when you cannot depict a man sitting on a toilet, it's another thing to believe you already are the hottest thing and the man sitting on the toilet is viewed by millions around the world.

His complaints about being systematically censored from newspapers (he thinks they are all well aware of his past, instead of just oblivious to him and think his cartoons are made by a 12 year old), his complaints about censorship from Daily Kos ("I've been drawing Obama like that for years, so why all of a sudden are they crying racist? It's because I criticized his NSA policy!" when really it's because people never saw his poo poo before), his ludicrous eBay dates he used to auction off (starting price $2000 if you live in another country, no interaction guaranteed). It all makes sense if he thinks that he's world (in)famous instead of struggling to break through the mainstream.
