We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

Welcome to the 2020 Political Cartoons Award Thread! Now with a new, less offensive name!

We had a relatively low number of nominations from the thread and wiki in 2020 (I've been gathering them, don't worry), so I am actively soliciting additional nominations. Please read the 2020 thread and share your nominations here. You don't have to nominate in every category, and comics can be nominated multiple times for one award, or in multiple categories at once.

Voting

On February 21 we'll close nominations and I will restructure the thread for voting, listing all currently nominated comics. Voting will be easy: just pick a single comic from each category you want to vote in.

Voting is now active and will continue until March 26. See voting rules below.

Nomination Rules and Suggestions

  • Standard D&D rules apply.
  • Please don't quote all the images from a nomination post unless you intend to discuss all them.
  • Please do not use this thread for discussion of general political topics. Please do feel free to discuss your nominations and reasoning.
  • Please only post cartoons that were featured in the Political Cartoons thread and were published in 2020.
  • Post only one nomination post. Any future cartoon you would like to submit should be edited into that post.
  • Only submit one nomination per category.

NEW IN 2020: Special Awards!

If you believe a cartoon or cartoonist should receive a special, one-time or lifetime achievement award, please post about it in this thread.

Previous Years' Awards threads:
2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 Mid-term, 2015, 2016 Mid-Term, 2016, 2017 Mid-term, 2017, 2018, and 2019.

You will be able to see the final winners on Wiki Sours, the SA Politoons wiki!

The National Museum of African American History, part of the Smithsonian, had this on its website describing "white culture" both as it sees itself and the ways its basic assumptions pervade society:

It pissed off racists and caused a small stir in right wing media recently for some reason (possibly they finally looked at the NMAAHC website to find things to criticize John Lewis). Bok has selectively quoted the descriptors he sees as unmitigated good and left out the context of "this is how white culture sees itself" to show how race criticism is the real racism.

"Anti-religion violence." So if I understand it correctly, he's trying to conflate church shootings with anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish violence and claim to be the victim of all of them, even though the perpetrators of the latter are often Christians with the same ideology as McCoy.

]Reminder: Today the President holds the power to nominate a Supreme Court Justice and the Senate holds the power to confirm. Do it, without delay or apology. You think the Left would wait til a new President was elected to fill a Supreme Court vacancy? Remember the Kavanaugh hearings!
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is dead. I have to hand it to her—she was a very tough little old lady. As Trump said, “She had an amazing life.” That’s one way of putting it. She beat various forms of cancer and escaped death over and over again. Perhaps because she had a reason to keep living. Not just for the power she had as a member of the highest court in the land, but also because she had a great dislike for President Trump. She had hoped to hang on until Biden got elected. The question is, why didn’t she retire during Obama’s term so she could be replaced by an another far-left liberal? Probably because she, like many of her fellow experts, expected Hillary to win easily.
While many are paying their respects to the feminist Ginsburg who fought for equality, we must bear in mind that she also supported taxpayer-funded abortion on demand. She wanted to take our guns. She saw the 2nd Amendment as being obsolete. She said the Constitution was an ‘antiquated document.’ Instead of interpreting the Constitution, she held it in contempt.
Now that Ginsburg is dead, we are in for an inevitable rollercoaster ride in the form of a Senate confirmation battle. Most likely we’ll see massive protests if Trump’s replacement is confirmed ahead of the election, but it’s important that we have a fully-stocked court to make important decisions on said election. After all, the Democrats and especially Hillary want to contest the election regardless of the result.

Yosuke will now die for you.
There is no water to be found anymore. All the soil has transformed into worthless shifting sand. Blowing in your eyes, blinding you. Nothing can grow anymore, except for these accursed cacti which spring up from nowhere unbidden. Even if you cut them open, there’s no water, just more sand inside, impossibly. Their only purpose is to sting you as you blunder into them while wandering through the sandstorm. You think you see a building in the distance, some shelter, any shelter, but it’s only an illusion vanishing as you get near. You can only scale hoodoos pointlessly, endlessly, never finding solace. Yelling into the wind to no one as you are pursued by a lone coyote. You are vaguely aware that eventually that coyote will be gnawing at your lifeless desiccated corpse.

Least Concealed Bigotry in a Cartoon: Racism


(I'll put more in later, but that simply must be nominated.)

Edit: Sorry, I'll build up my collection and do a complete post of everything later.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
Please add any additional nominations in new posts so I don't miss them during entry.

The Least Concealed Bigotry: Racism category could easily be filled with nothing but Stiglich. I want to nominate this one because it actually led to newspaper editorial resignations and, probably, Stiglich getting kicked off Gocomics. (It was posted to GC, deleted, reposted, deleted again, reposted in black and white, deleted again, and a week later Stiglich was gone.)

I am having to relive 2020 through the 2020 politoons thread, so it's taking awhile. I will have the nominations ready on the 21st. My deepest apologies for the delay.

Sorry, work's been a nightmare. I hear the issue slowing nomination collection has been fixed; I will finish populating the spreadsheet and test post tomorrow night.

Sorry, it turns out the relevant bug still isn't fixed in the indexing of older threads, so I am having to go through manually. To keep me on track, I will begin listing my daily progress.

I had some time tonight to fix the search indexer bug that was holding you back (eating the contents of e.g. bold tags), and Jeffrey has queued the relevant thread for reindexing, so everything should be solid once that's finished.

I'm really sorry for these interminable delays, folks. The reindexing appears not to have happened yet, as searching the 2020 thread for "nomin" gives zero results.

What I can offer is that in the meantime I'm setting up procedures and tools (with the help of Sneezeofthedecade and Munkeymon) that should make all future Kellies processes infinitely less painful or slow.

Search doesn't (yet) find partial words. Use the word 'nomination'.

I'm going through the remaining 70 posts tonight. Voting will go live tonight. We're probably going to have close to 200 nominees.

I just want to express appreciation for all the work you're doing, combing through the thread and wrestling with formatting. Thanks for your efforts just so that we can subject ourselves again to the most hateful and/or inane propaganda of 2020.

I am just kicking myself for asking for additional nominations, this is a freaking nightmare to manage. I've got some stuff in the works, courtesy of other goons, that will make future years much more manageable.

edit: just gotta grab the ones from this thread...then cruch them all into a post. Manually. We're at or near 200 nominations this year.

edit: a total 210 nominations, counting some special cases, are now coded. I'll clean the data and get it set up tonight and prep and post the voting tomorrow.

edit: Following some cleaning and removal of duplicates (yes I am using a spreadsheet), we have 192 entries.

About a quarter of all entries were for the Gaslighter category. I think we need to find some way to break that group down for future years.

Jurgan posted:

The "bigotry" category is gonna have 300 nominees next year.

You were incorrect, my friend. "Only" 29 bigotry entries in 2020. We're just...inured to it.

edit: Users Cat Mattress (now banned) and CAT INTERCEPTOR get the finger of shame for listing nominations as "nominations".

Could someone compile obits or summaries of any artists who died or retired in 2020? Or names at least?

This is an all-timer portal into directly seeing the brainworms and it's almost disappointing that Ben's banned from almost everything.

True story one entry had to be disqualified because it linked a tweet for the comic and I could not track down the original image anywhere.

I think you may be talking about the one I managed to screenshot from an archive and post in this thread!

e: I misread the nomination instructions and reposted the ones that I had flagged in the 2020 thread.
