YOu don't recognize Obama anymore do you?

Obama was my first instinct. But then I thought why would Obama be represented as a tree stump in a comic about Marxism catching Democrats/fishes? And figured it must be someone else that would make sense in some way.

Well, now I'm still confused.

Ben trying to beat MaxBro to the punch by drawing him with a huge pole in the original.

Has Ben ever been fishing? You almost always hook it’s mouth, it’s an easy visual metaphor because it’s a goddamned sickle. You don’t need to do this weird x-ray cutaway to see the contents of Joe’s stomach.

Conservatives don’t actually know poo poo about hunting, fishing or guns.

As someone pointed out, it might be a reference to "hook, line, and sinker", but that doesn't explain the bobber.

Bobbers and sinkers are the same thing right?

No, the sinker is a weight that gets the hook and the bait to a depth where fish are. It's usually made of steel or traditionally lead. You can think of it as reducing overall buoyancy to the whole setup.

The bobber floats on the surface until something pulls on it. It makes both easier to see if you got a bite, and it limits how far the sinker can sink. You can think of it as adding overall buoyancy to the whole setup.

Again a very likpatous story

I really hate this cartoon because it's that old bullshit "I want to be able to speak freely without being oppressed by that guy" "I want to be able to oppress that guy so he can't speak freely" "Wow both these sides are being so unreasonable." I mean the cartoonist straight up put one of the "Jews will not replace us" guys from the Charlottesville rally in there, how do you pretend that's even remotely equivalent to a minority saying "Yeah I don't want that guy to be able to freely spread his hate."


Ben, you were excited about the Red Wave before the elections, and now it's a bad thing? Make up your mind!

I thought of that, but Garrison isn't capable of making a visual pun or metaphor without pointing to it and saying "LOOK AT IT, I REFERENCED THE PHRASE 'ALL HAT NO CATTLE!'" in the very comic he's making.

He's gone full fascist now, one of his comics from last week has Satan talking about "Churches are empty, the light of the west has gone out" while the personification of the year 2021 has become a good God fearing Christian girl who holds a cross and prays before picking up a shotgun to go fight Satan.

Its amazing hes probably the most pathetic of the long time welcoming artists.

Buckley's worst (in comic at least) offenses were some sexism regarding women playing games and "boy games vs girl games," and of course the "Ha ha black people sure do talk during movies a lot" strip. But like you said he seems to want to be a better person now and is approaching topics like gender identity with at least some nuance and thought put into it, and even at his worst he was still a hell of a lot better than "The ideas of gender dysphoria and women owning their own bodies are destroying society" and "Antifa are the real fascists."

Lmao of COURSE Skelley is beating the "fast food restaurants being understaffed is socialism" drum

He wants young people toiling for $2 an hour to feed him his treats and then going home to a closet they share with five roommates in a big stack of hammocks. He wants people poor and he wants them desperate and he wants them miserable, because that's what freedom means to him

Again, the newspaper comic explains everything here

loquacius
Oct 21, 2008

Skelley never had to work a 12-hour shift being yelled at by white soccer moms in SUVs at a drive thru while dying of covid to just barely afford a roach-infested cupboard in the slums, but that's only because he works so hard at his job drawing pictures that call the people who do that lazy, so he feels entitled to their suffering. How else will he know he has gotten his just rewards, if he doesn't have an underclass to compare himself to?
