That’s not a hot dog, and neither mustard nor ketchup belong on it, but tomato sauce, depicted on the right, does. A centrist both-sides cartoon, therefore Bad, so you were right but for the wrong reasons.

My question is, where are the onions and what does their absence represent?

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

Vib Rib posted:

I've done a quick survey and yes, the fair-style caricatures are his sole defining trait, and 99% of the cartoons are people staring straight ahead or offcenter by about 30 degrees. There's a slim possibility that he's a Payne, capable of completely different work and choosing not to- I haven't looked at his earliest stuff, which apparently got him some mid-tier awards.

edit: I'd forgotten Payne was an auto reviewer in Detroit and was momentarily stunned by how many car pics dominate his twitter feed. I sort of get why he goes with the simpler style compared with what he's capable of- the man's basically working three full-time jobs.

Like a lot of cartoonists (and a lot of people, really), Hitch (as he annoyingly refers to himself in the third person) has a kind of default that he falls back on when he can't think of anything particularly clever to do, and for him it's this parade of caricature heads just flat-out saying the thing he wants to say. He definitely is capable of drawing other things, although the style he uses here is pretty much always how he draws human faces. Some examples:

1


2


3


4


(this one is about a local issue - the MBTA, popularly known as "The T", is the public transit authority here in Massachusetts)

5


(also a local issue, about former governor Deval Patrick)

6


7



Even in these, although there's a wider range of subjects, you can kind of see his limits in terms of perspective and composition. Of course, the man is also a colossal loving moron, but that just goes with the territory.

For context, that cartoon is from April of 2015, and is about this:

https://www.gloucestertimes.com/news/baker-moves-to-restructure-management-of-mbta/article_8c54aac8-e922-11e4-9e04-a7a4d8cba47c.html

Despite the apparent intervention of large men with nail boards, this structure was put into place later that year. The state senate defanged some of Baker's proposed "reforms", but a lot of 2015 was spent arguing about the best way of fixing the MBTA; in general, his plan was the usual thing of privatizing whatever possible and trying to make the public transportation system wholly self-sufficient by raising fares and cutting costs. The Carmen's Union (Carmen is not a name, but a description - the men of train cars) has a small amount of negotiating power, which he wanted to strip away, so they lobbied pretty hard against his changes.
