Medical - Mandatory with fees collected from employers by the government
Welfare - over half of the ultra orthodox men decide to spend their lives studying the Torah, and the government gives them a livable stipend
Property - most property is owned by the state, less than 10% is held by Israeli citizens
Immigrants - immigrants get cash, housing allowances, unemployment
Childcare - government subsidized for single parents
Banking - largely state owned, along with many large companies

So tell us more about how an Israeli would be horrified at "socialists"!

e: Also "big Jewish brain"? What? It's not racist if it's a compliment! Right?

TBH I am pretty convinced Muir is schizophrenic, (was before starting the strip, or late onset and it developed mid-way through) and that it's development can be tracked by the inconsistency of his art and the increased incoherence of his writing. I mean, DBD was a hand-drawn strip with jokes once, remember? Hell, a few years ago the writing was still at least mostly coherent, even if laughably stupid and frequently racist. But most strips Muir's done in the last couple of years, I usually can't understand what he's trying to say until I've read it four or five times, and not because the metaphor is unclear like with many political cartoons, but because his word structure and the things his characters are saying and doing don't make any sense a great deal of the time. Eventually I suspect the comic is just going to devolve into timecube.

As a non-licensed armchair brainguy, I just believe Muir to be so completely cloistered & friendless he has developed acute Pathological Internet Socialization Syndrome. Soon he will be able to communicate only in assorted grunts & memes, and possibly phonetic remnants of the words "Palin" and "Cruz"

It's absolutely political - Morrison has Hitler's divine/insane inspiration for his future rule come from John Bull, who goes on diatribes about how Britain's ruthless approach to imperialism is what has made the nation "great."

The New Adventures of Hitler is hardly a webcomic, though; odd choice for a webcomic thread.

I think the person posting it justified it on the grounds that it qualifies as a webcomic because it's only really available on the internet (since it'd be really unlikely for a publisher to reprint a story with Hitler as the protagonist).

Last time I went to a comic store (like 2 months ago when I was in NYC) there were two comics on the most prominent shelf that had Hitler as the protagonist.

Admittedly one of them was a print compilation of Hipster Hitler, which actually is a webcomic, so I have no idea what to make of this can of hitler webcomic worms.

I also hate fish and hot chips because there is a Chinese place in Australia that sells fish and chips. This also means I hate Jesus because the dude was a fisherman and if Jews and the Chinese like fish well gently caress that guy.

If you don't think their invented, redundant terminology and armchair psychoanalyzing is toxic to developing minds trapped on the Internet I don't know what to tell you. Being a teenager is confusing enough without having asexual neckbeards adding their completely unfounded ideas about psychosexuality and manufactured rage to the mix.

The best example of this is how he's been going on and on about female sex androids being as bad as slavery or rape involving, you know, an actual person.

I'm pretty sure Judge gets it, he's taking Colbert's character at face value (hell, Bill O'Reilly takes it as a deadly serious liberal conspiracy) for the sake of the gag.

Then again, for every couple great cartoons he does he makes at least one that's abysmal. Lee Judge slot machine.

I got the impression at the time (and am still getting the impression, now) that they didn't quite know what Colbert was all about when they invited him. I think they were expecting Red Eye and not Stealth Jon Stewart. The Colbert Report was still pretty new in 2006.

Here's a bit from Wikipedia about it:

quote:

The show's popularity resulting in Colbert headlining the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner, which he performed in character. The controversial, searing routine targeted President George W. Bush and the media, and was greeted with chilly reception from the audience.[54] Although President Bush shook Colbert's hand after his presentation, several of Bush's aides and supporters walked out during Colbert's speech, and one former aide commented that the President had "that look that he's ready to blow".[55] Colbert's performance quickly became an Internet and media sensation.[56][57] According to Vanity Fair, the speech transformed Colbert as a "folk hero" for liberals, and was later described by Frank Rich as the "defining moment" of the 2006 midterm elections.[5] Adam Sternbergh of New York, a year after the show's debut, deemed the character "something very close to what he's parodying, a kind of Bill O'Reilly for the angry left."[13]

It's pretty clear that they didn't know what they were getting into.
