Malcolm Evans was my hero growing up

he got fired from the New Zealand Herald for the cartoons below, but they were directly responsible for my political awakening and I finally got to thank him for it a couple of years ago :3:

moral of the story is, if you see a cartoon you like make sure to write in and tell them

i've never met him or anything, but that was a slimy loving thing for emmerson to do and his cartoons are weak as piss

You could relabel that ball to be a number of things and it would still be a good comic.

Like what? ACORN? Clean Coal? Reptilians?

It's a bad cartoon because it lacks specificity, and without specificity there can be no wit.

Just a reminder that J-Street pushes a relentlessly pro-zionist agenda and its most significant function is in defining the IP debate in terms of providing a safe lower limit to acceptable discourse

"Some on the right say that Israel should just wipe out the Palestinians, while the extreme alternative crazy view espoused by J-street is that a few palestinians should be allowed to live on the land granted to Israel by God"

I propose two walls, separated by 20-30m with a self healing mine field between them. The first one topped with electrified razor wire and the other topped with electrified razor wire and studded with modified Phalanx guns set to fire on anything larger than say a squirrel. Beyond the second wall the ground will be equipped with pressure sensors in the rare event someone makes it beyond the second wall. Now tell me why would such a system require extensive human interaction?

this is purestrain goonsay: smug tone, excessive detail based on countless hours of desktop tower defense games and an underlying assumption that America's monied classes are somehow inconvenienced by undocumented workers

has anyone noticed that strips with recurring characters are a thousand times more turgid and pointless than the one-panel editorials?

you'd think the really bland, lazy people would just go 'gently caress it, I'm doing one quick sketch and then back to the bar' but instead they bang out whole story arcs where nothing happens like it's some kind of Samuel Beckett homage
