XyloJW posted:I have a Ted Rall contest in mind in the next few months. For added challenge, only accept entries that look like stuff Rall would draw. So most people would get disqualified for having edits that are too well put together, aren't wordy enough, or have art that doesn't make your eyes bleed. ...actually, you might want to stock up on eye gauze before you do such an insane stunt.

ThirdPartyView posted:(see the Hello Kitty debacle) I'd forgotten about that, so I just looked it up. From the blog entry Rall writes when he finds out about it: Todd posted:Usually, these things are less than cut and dry. But it’s pretty hard to believe that any illustrator could be unaware of my use of the Hello Kitty imagery to define Obama–it ain’t as branded as Generalissimo El Busho yet, but come on. This one fails the smell test.

Jedit posted:The winner had better come second. While provoking any sort of reaction out of Asay was never more than a pleasant fantasy, if we do a Rall thread I'd rate it even odds or better he'll make at least some noise given what a thin-skinned petulant child the man is. Hell, I'm a little surprised he's not already started screaming of the few edit parodies of his work that made the frontpage

Congrats to all the winners! I was about to give a shoutout to the goons who made my two personal favorite edits from the thread, but then I realized both were made by grand prize winner Mighty Stalker. Thanks for making me laugh. Repeatedly.

My favorite: Turns out crowfeathers and Mighty Stalker did most of my favorites anyways (aside from fuper gay), and I didn't realize how many (hilarious) entries both of them contributed. I haven't laughed this hard in ages, especially at a photoshop thread. Awesome, awesome work. No Wave fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Jan 11, 2014 |

In case anyone was wondering what the first prize was, here it is: XyloJW asked Ward Sutton (Kelly from the Onion) for his whiskey sour recipe and this is it! An Authentic Kelly Brand™ Whiskey Sour

Every once in a while people close to me notice that I seem to have an inordinate knowledge of and opinions about political cartoons. At those times I reflect on the really bizarre way the internet has hosed me up.

cheetah7071 posted:I've gotta wonder how that conversation goes. "So you know how you did a cartoon once years ago that mentioned Whiskey Sours? Well we sure do." I told him about the contest and that we're all big fans of his, and asked how Kelly would make a Whiskey Sour, and linked his old cartoon for clarification. This was his response, in case you guys want to make your own! quote:Kelly would make his Whiskey Sour with Black Velvet whiskey - which he considers fine quality. “The Ladies” recognize a man of sophistication when they see he drinks Black Velvet. If his regular store is sold out of Black Velvet, however (or if another brand is on sale) then any brand in a plastic bottle will do (2 Jiggers on average, but more so depending on the day, season, etc.) I had to look in about 15 liquor stores to find Black Velvet whiskey, and overall I think I searched 30 all over my home state without ever finding any Polar Bitter Lemon. The closest I could find was lemon-lime soda product from Walmart. Same goes for Celebrity brand mandarin oranges, so I eventually settled on Dole.

This was his response, in case you guys want to make your own! Black Velvet is the cheapest alcohol by far in any CA store. It's $12 for a 1.75 litre, the only comparable products are the absolute garbage generic "quality" vodka.

Polar Soda is a MA company and is all over every supermarket in New England (just for the record this is basically the nectar of the gods, although when I was a kid this one was by far my favorite), but it'd make sense to me that it wouldn't be available basically anywhere in the South. It's a regional thing. My girlfriend's family in Jersey loves Vintage seltzer, though, and I can 100% see Kelly using that too. It's a good compromise.

If that's the case, then I think that means Bors is actually the grand-prize winner of this thread.
