Can anyone recommend some French (by nationality, not just language) political cartoonists? Or even hilariously bad ones?

That is why the darker-colored people have darker speech bubbles. Can't you tell the difference between "dark grey on tan" and "darker grey on tan"?

CapnAndy posted:What's with the "let's" construction on a lot of those (and other ones I've seen elsewhere)? In English it carries overtones of "this is optional, but if you want to", which is not the tone I think it's supposed to have. Is it a Korean thing? I think there's some aspect where it's become understood as ambiguous rather than simply insincere. For example, "Let's do lunch" used to mean "we should definitely really have lunch together soon." But if you used a less-definite invitation, you sounded insincere; so everyone says "Let's do lunch," and it's understood that it's not really an obligation, just a token farewell that may or may not result in a later meeting. But the reason that that phrase came to be used was how definite it used to be; some other phrase may supplant it as the "really-really" see-you-soon, and then become the new "really-but-not-really" see-you-soon.

Gonzo McFee posted:Wasn't half the point of Jesus being Crucified that he was surrounded by thieves and liars when he was put up on the cross? He was supposedly surrounded by "bandits" (often translated as "thieves" but the gospels use a Greek word Romans used to describe insurrectionists and rebels). So no, not half the point.

Mirthless posted:"I won't get et" -- what does that even loving mean!? What is with the giggling horrorship? Why is Panel 2 so out of context? "I won't get et" is said by the guy in the movie who wears the toque. He is asking for another character to kill him rather than let him fall into the hands of the space rapist cannibals. Obviously it made such a profound impact on popular culture that it's sufficient for fourth wall-breaking torso that's not part of any narrative to simply quote this line and humor will be found. kaschei fucked around with this message at 10:32 on Apr 20, 2014 |

Radish posted:It's also stupid since it's not like the general public can do poo poo about it. When anyone complains about factory farms, there's an entire lobbying group dedicated to pushing the idea that they are liars and hypocrites so the water is muddied. Even if people did care it's not like it's an issue that they could reasonably affect since politicians care about money in their re-election campaign not what animal rights people are concerned with. In the areas where puppy mills are profitable you see similar levels of push back amongst politicians even though the average person finds them repentant. Yeah you should probably not even try to eat less repugnant poo poo because you're only one person and no one cares. Just keep shoveling those blood- poo poo- and tear-stained meat bricks down your gullet because even though you give a gently caress, that doesn't matter. But you definitely do give a gently caress even though you don't do anything about it. Maybe we could eat the epileptic inbred puppies as well? I feel like that would basically solve two problems at once. MoFauxHawk posted:It's a good anti-hypocrisy cartoon, I'm not sure why you people think it's bad. It's kind of funny and it gets at Americans who pretend they care about animals' well-being. People who feel bad for animals in movies and have no problem eating factory farmed meat are like the not-concerned-with-factory-farming people who post passionately on Facebook about saving animal-sheltered domestic animals. I think it deserves to be pointed out occasionally, and I'm not even a vegetarian. Factory farming isn't even a major issue in our country. Then it's a bad cartoon, because all it does is juxtapose people showing concern with the welfare of animals with those same people eating meat. If you already believe that the meat industry is unjustifiably inhumane, you see hypocrisy. If you don't already believe that, I guess it's a tiny nudge hoping you think about it a little? kaschei fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Apr 23, 2014 |

I think that comic has a prequel where the elephant rams the fire truck into the hydrant outside an arguably-burning Afghanistan then carefully inundates a not-on-fire Iraq with all of the remaining water in the fire truck.

It's not even subtle. It's on the level of showing a man marrying a dog — everyone knows that's an anti-gay marriage cartoon. This is equally blatant.
