I mean, yeah, that is kind of how it works. Once you take that vial out of the freezer it's use it or lose it. When I went in yesterday for my first shot the registration people were all worked up about the fact that the doctor who was on the schedule before me hadn't shown up and they couldn't get ahold of her. So they called down to the Emergency Department and literally said "hey if anyone down there wants to get theirs now send them up."

(Turns out the doctor was working in the ED at the moment and thought her appointment was at a different time and the misunderstanding was cleared up and no dose was wasted.)

This is how I got mine last week. At the end of vaccine clinic for the day, they had x extra doses from no shows. They just started calling the floors saying any clinician who wanted one should come down, first come first serve till they ran out.

That said, the cartoon is clearly about how the Trump administration hosed up the rollout. States received far smaller amounts then planned because the federal government failed to tell Pfizer on where to ship the vaccine. It's why the distribution is so far behind, doses were been sitting in Pfizer's warehouse waiting for shipping instructions.

Didn't the Florida Governor claim Pfizer had run out only for Pfizer to say,"Dude we have millions, you haven't ordered any!"?

I'm not claiming these are great cartoons, but the concept and art is more interesting than the drivel he puts out nowadays. How many of these utterly awful cartoonists are only kept around because they used to be more dynamic? Did things actually happen in Prickly City once?

Strip I

A lazily drawn desert. A cactus.

Evening.

Carmen, sitting on a low rock, is trying to take off her shoe. She pulls at it with both hands, panting.
She gives up, exhausted, rests, tries again.
As before.
Enter Winslow.


CARMEN
Nothing has been happening.

WINSLOW
I'm beginning to come around to that opinion. Maybe before...

CARMEN
Before what?

WINSLOW
Before it started

CARMEN
Before what started?

WINSLOW
Everything

Silence.

CARMEN
Well? Shall we do something?

WINSLOW
Yes, let's do something.

They do nothing.
Strip ends



Strip II

Next day. Same time. Same place. The cactus has four or five flowers

WINSLOW
Will things happen again Carmen?

CARMEN
I don't know Winslow. Maybe after...

WINSLOW
After what?

CARMEN
After everything

WINSLOW
What can we do?

CARMEN
Is there anything we can do?

WINSLOW
Well? Shall we do something?

CARMEN
Yes, let's do something.

They do nothing.

It's the :smug: part that's the problem. The unavoidable sense that he thinks that not only is it enough to just point out that everything is hosed and offer no alternative - or even hint at the possibility of one - but that the reader somehow needed Ted Rall to point that out and should be grateful that he did because otherwise we'd never have noticed.

Ben Garrison posted:

Results are Not Official Yet- Look Familiar?

This cartoon captures a moment in time- subject to change

I expected the Georgia Republican candidates to win their Senate seats, so drew a cartoon that illustrated the event. Then Warnock started pulling away. I made a last-minute adjustment that would still make the cartoon work. Then Ossoff started pulling ahead, too. Darn it! At midnight I began drawing a brand new cartoon and you see that here.

CNN was overjoyed. They laughed at Trump and his ‘conspiracy theories.’ They kept saying the word ‘historic’ over and over again. The first black senator from Georgia. Fine, but what does he stand for? Reverend Warnock is pro-choice and pro-using your tax dollars to murder the unborn. But he sounds a bit like Martin Luther King, and he uttered the usual warm-sounding empty platitudes. Historic! One thing CNN didn’t mention, though: Warnock once urged blacks to use any means necessary—including violence—to overthrow a racist America. How Christian of him! Historic!

Warnock is a gun-grabbing socialist who once called Fidel Castro a great and honorable man. Warnock praises Marxism. Historic! Warnock is a Christian who hates white Christians. Historic!

Ossoff is also a committed socialist and together with Warnock, Biden will get things done. So says CNN. Their respected journalists were all giddy at the prospect. Historic! Now Biden can rejoin the Paris Accords and cudgel us with climate change fear mongering. He will use it to lock the country down even more. Maybe Green New Deal Biden will ban cars and gasoline will hit $20 per gallon under his rule. Historic! We will see higher taxes, more war, and more graft in the pockets of Biden cronies. Biden will stack the Supreme Court in his favor. Historic!

The Democrats are getting away with rigging the elections in their favor. If left unchallenged, their election theft will become routine. We’ll have a monolithic one-party system, just like those lucky citizens in communist China have. The Democrats want what the Chicoms have. Total control! They want to micromanage our lives on a granular level. They’ll see to it that We The People will continue to lose our free speech, our freedom to assemble and travel, and even control over our own bodies. We will be forced to trade our freedom and our guns for government handouts, which won’t be handed out unless we do as exactly as we’re told.

Georgia used to be a red state. It’s gone blue. Permanently. Historic!
