For all the dogwhistle racism we have to put up with from the American cartoonists, Arend Van Dam is a wonderful reminder that at least in the USA our racism is required to be dogwhistled.

It's still a lovely cartoon, but goddamn, at least you can see words now and it's not just a busy, jumbled mess. The people look a little bit better without halos as well.

I cannot believe the loving "THEY PREDICTED GLOBAL COOLING IN THE 70s" myth is still around. Wait, yes I can

That may not be a huge perk. At least in other countries you would know they are just hateful instead of possibly being too dumb to notice that they are being hateful.

A sow, being large and heavy, will often roll over while feeding, crushing the piglets. A cartoon that gets to it's point by the long way. But seriously, who are then piglets? Agencies? States? Politicians? Colonies? Actual farming subsidies? All it says is 'the government feeds things'. A Budget 101 cartoon. The government, hideously overwieight, is fed upon by lesser creatures who care only for the 'milk' it provides now, rather than helping it survive longer. A lobbyist/MP's Expenses/corruption cartoon.

You can just feel the sheer bile that McCoy must feel for Michelle Obama emanating from that picture. Look how he managed to amp up his cognitive dissonance long enough to draw her with an enormous rear end (because every single black woman has one) as well as broad shoulders and defined, muscular arms (because she's some kind of gross, manly health-nut) at the same time. Not to mention whatever the gently caress is going on with that face

I don't know, based on the Zwarte Piet conversation that happens every year it just seems that Dutch people have trouble acknowledging even the most blatant of racism.

Come home from work, have to babysit rear end in a top hat kids (for... reasons? Does she pay him? I thought he was at least well-off because corporate sell-out unit-trader dude?) New video game sucks, here's some economic news that's supposed to sound dire but for the last 14 years just seems like every day. Throw in a dig at Madonna, I guess he had a conversation with her once about how some pop album was unlistenable today and all she could do was tout its historical significance? Rall and Muir, more than any other cartoonists in this thread, just need loving help.

Hey Bish, the Pilgrims went to the Netherlands in search of religious tolerance and they found it and hated it. That's why they went to Virginia and founded a theocracy.

Taciturn Tactician posted:Digital data: So easy to erase! Yeah, that jumped out at me too. The instant digital censorship is the first thing that would actually make this comic qualify as a modern updating of 1984, but if everything's digital how does Big Brother combat piracy? The biggest problem with this conception of dystopia is that I don't understand how the rabble are kept down. Are protesters locked away? Is propaganda just that effective? The government seems to exert less authority over the populace than they do in real life! Mostly this comic seems less about a horrible repressive regime and more just a nation of assholes.

PlotDevice posted:This is so obviously autobiographical it's just pathetic. If you're correct, that's pretty great considering Rall's attempt at making up poo poo for satirical parody winds up as autobiographical whining, and his two autobiographies are made up poo poo that devolved into self parody.
