I can make the gay abortions thread, but I'm going to ax like 90% of the categories because this is a ridiculous amount of time and effort spent on political cartoons. It'll be: Worst Cartoon of the Year, Best Edit of the Year, Worst Cartoon of the Decade (nominees will be from prior Gaybies), Best Edit of the Decade (ditto). That's it.

We got Cartoon Sign! 1You know they were gonna jack over this for a bit.  2Ugh.  3The Senate is corrupt and we can naught but drink our woes away.  4Now remember, not everyone can respond with "Lowtax?"  5Why the gently caress is Chewie there? He's not even going to be in any major Star Wars media in 2020.  6It'd be really cool if you actually cared about the rich being above the law, as opposed to just jumping on a bandwagon because one of the Clintons may be involved.  7Dude even Biden has competitive numbers against Trump.

i don't even know if there's anything to be gained from Dees. The man is literally mentally ill and, while he does espouse similar Nazi poo poo as other cartoonists, it's hard to really put it under the microscope like Stonetoss or other poo poo that's trying to penetrate the mainstream with their 1488 dogwhistles. Dees cartoons are just nightmarish poo poo that make it very clear from the start that he's a foil hat type. Yeah, every so often he makes a  cartoon and we lament his missed calling as a metal album artist, but otherwise it's just gross photoshops from a deranged anti-Semite.

I dunno why people say Stantis is gonna vote for Trump when we know he's gonna vote for whatever embarrassment the Libertarians dig up this year. I see John McAfee is running, and oooooh Stantis beating the drum for Vermin Supreme would make Prickly City interesting for the first time since he decided to speak out against waterboarding in like...2004.

Welcome friends, to a distant time back in... We're going to start with a look at the fallen. The primary candidates whose star burned out back in 2011, but they were hilarious enough to merit discussion before we jump into 2012 itself. So get comfy, and let's begin:  Cain 1Here it is: the flash in the pizza pan campaign of Herman Cain. It's time.  Cain 2Cain was rising in popularity, and he did have the poll numbers to back it up. Did the GOP have its Obama?  Cain 3Cain's experience was that he owned a pizza chain. Other business experience too, but everyone focused on pizza chains. Lots of goddamn pizza cartoons I'm sparing you from.  Cain 4Just a reminder that Gorrell was somehow lazier in 2011. Yeesh  Cain 5  Cain 6Okay, enough messing around. Cain's shtick was his 9-9-9 plan, which was a 9% rate for Sales, Income, and Corporate Tax. If you are familiar with the Fair Tax, 9-9-9 was another GOP plan to massively slash taxes for the rich under the disguise of a It's So Simple and Easy tax plan to try and rope in the lower classes who'd be footing the bill.  Cain  You knew this was coming. One reason they loved Cain is because they can show how Democrats are the REAL racists. This McCoy Lesser cartoon was released when news first hit about women coming forward to accuse Cain of a slew of sexual crimes.  Cain 7Surprisingly, cartoonists who had been kissing his rear end didn't take too long to turn.  Cain 8  Cain 9-9-9Around late November, Cain would "reassess his campaign" and pretty much gently caress off. Cain gets the most coverage here because things went so fast from adoration to Memory Hole. He's also a new face in a primary that was mostly microwaved leftovers from 2008. But don't worry, Trump gave him a seat on the Federal Reserve back in early 2019   Christie 1Chris Christie was a rising star in the GOP, but we'll discuss his downfall and eventual future as a 2016 Vine joke later.  Christie 2Yes, I am posting this because I had to endure 500 Occupy Wall Street cartoons and am left with a need to inflict suffering.  Rick 1Rick Perry's brief primary run was a hilarious comedy of errors. First, he released this...thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxzONeK1OwQ  Rick 2Then he had an absolutely embarrassing debate performance. It's 2011 now, so Youtube has better preserved these moments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN8uFJz9gTk  Rick 3Seriously, so loving lazy.  Rudy & FredThese jokers got more buzz in the previous election, although I think Muir was super horny for Fred even in 2011. It's worth noting that even in 2011, Rudy's reputation was fading, and it would have been wise for him to just coast on the Brave Mayor feel-good vibes the public had for him after 9/11. But I guess scumbags have a natural instinct for the gutter.  MitchMitch Daniels was...really popular among some conservatives? I dunno, he never even registered on my radar back then, but he's a former governor of Indiana and I guess pissed off conservatives by wanting to take the focus away from social issues so they can knuckle down on what really matters: making the rich even richer. In May 2011 he declined to run after much speculation.  PalinPalin flirted with running for a period, but eventually she nixed it to almost nobody's interest. At this point her political resume included a failed vice presidency campaign, abandoning a governorship halfway into the term for no discernible reason, and...a short-lived reality TV series? Yeah, she knew the real money wasn't in politics; not when you can just blather on Fox for 15 minutes for easy checks.  Trump 1I guess I can't avoid bringing this up. Yes, Trump tried throwing his hat in the ring back in 2012. What a joke!  Trump 2His mulling over running was seen as a vanity campaign. Good thing the GOP is full of vain creatures.  Trump 3If Trump's campaign had any substance, if we assume literally anything counts as "substance", then it was his revival of the birther phenomenon. But the conspiracy had lost mainstream appeal among conservatives, and it didn't help that Obama released the goddamn long form birth certificate within a WEEK of Osama bin Laden's death. So yes Virginia, there was a period in time when Trump was seen as a clown by most of the country. And yes, there were 50 "hurr where's the death certificate" cartoons.  Trump 4I...don't remember this, but I guess at one point Trump was going to moderate a primary debate in December. That, however, would require effort and focus on people who are not Trump, so he dipped.  Trump 5It was tempting to do a “What a difference eight years make.” montage showing these cartoonists dismissing Trump as a grifter, and then present their cartoons today as they burn what scraps of dignity they have left to defend his crimes.  Trump 6Branco, however, never had dignity so this parses.  Trump 7So farewell to thee, Trump. You'll come back in four years, and next time you'll make sure to bring hip and cool racism. That’s it for 2011. Some people like Bachmann also tried and failed, but this post is already massive. I wanted to start the feature with a bang, however, so I hope you enjoyed this chunky post. Next Week: Everyone Hates Romney! Rick Santorum forces me to discuss Dan Savage. Do you remember when Iran got nukes in 2011? Hollering about Merrick Garland a lot. And a New England Patriot worse than Tom Brady. Yes, I know he was with the Broncos during that season, shut up.

That Obama cartoon was the second Iran cartoon Garrison did this week. The first one was uh... Garrison posted:Our military took out their leader shortly thereafter. I’ve heard some say Trump is keeping Americans safe. That’s great, but why are so many Americans still in Iraq after all these years? Why are we in Syria? Why are we allies with a backward kingdom named Saudi Arabia?

Yeah the Emperor is basically trapped in a living hell with his rotting corpse being forced on life support that demands thousands of lives sacrificed to it every day, and his empire being turned into a fascist theocracy with crimes against the citizenry committed in his name. And the empire is so stagnant that technology old enough to be considered ancient are considered precious relics because they simply don’t know how to make them. Imagine if the printing press was irreplaceable technology.

We meet the primary contenders, back in... With the 2011 burnouts back in the past, it's time to look at the actual primary. Fortunately, the GOP primary for 2012 started fairly early, so there won't be much in the way of empty posturing from the candidates. Nope, we're gonna see real results from our first races. So let's dive in.  1Mitt "Mittens" Romney was the frontrunner pretty much out the gate. His primary problem, however, was his image. Sure, he had a lot of the same issues all conservatives have, but Romney wraps it all up in the very boring suit-and-tie business executive personae with the very weak charisma to match. As someone said during the election, Romney looked like the guy who laid you off to save a few bucks.  2As frontrunner, this put an huge target on Romney's back from his primary rivals. I think people put too much stock in heated primaries, as most people will flat-out forget all the mudslinging come November. Just look at all the crap Obama endured in 2008, and he still won the general. Still, it inevitably comes up when primary candidates lash out at one another.  3Santorum squeaked out a victory in Iowa, coming in first by a fraction of a percent over Romney. I don't think this got any play from cartoonists, but Santorum's campaign had a "Google problem" due to his name being used by, let's be exceedingly nice and say "controversial," sex advice columnist Dan Savage. As a dig on Santorum, Savage used his name as a euphemism for, well, you can look it up just like a lot of Santorum voters unknowingly did.  4Then Mitt went and won New Hampshire. It is worth noting that throughout the race, Romney was throwing a lot of money around and Santorum was still staying competitive. I daresay we may have had the bizarro race of Obama v. Santorum were it not for...  5 Gingrich won South Carolina, which was a big deal because for decades every GOP candidate that took SC went on to win the primary...until 2012 when Newt inevitably lost. Something something it's a trend until it isn't. A running theme of the primary will be Newt's refusal to drop out, eating into Santorum's votes. But that's for another week. 6There are two kinds of conservative mindsets for the election. The first are deluded people that think Obama is just as unpopular as talk radio tells them, and that he is doomed come November. The other mindset is people who understand just how hosed they were from the outset. Allie seemed to be aware of Romney's weaknesses as a candidate. And now onto the cultural corner, where we look at what was going on in the world during this time.  B1A string of assassinations involving Iranian nuclear scientists had been going on for a couple years, with Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan being the last victim in early 2012. The source of the assassinations was never uncovered, but it was strongly implied to be linked to Israel because...I mean c'mon. Further rumor had it as the USA being the one who put a stop to the assassinations, stating that they interfered with diplomatic efforts to get Iran to stop its nuclear program, presumably referring to the 2015 deal. But hey, maybe the USA actually stopped secret assassinations for once!  B2Hostess declared bankruptcy in early 2012, following some poor business choices in the face of a more health-conscious shopper. Of course, this happened right after the union went on strike after some very questionably cuts to worker benefits. This was an extremely transparent move to try and pin the blame on the unions as opposed to executive incompetence. It's worth noting that, despite the company being in trouble, Hostess had no problem giving the executives pay raises in 2011.  B3Tim Tebow was a football player that was very religious and conservative. He entered the Discourse in 2010 with an anti-abortion ad aired during that year's Super Bowl. "Tebowing" was the name of the little kneel and pray he did after a touchdown, and if I recall Tebow was responsible for NCAA rules getting changed for post-touchdown behavior. Tim Tebow sucks and I can't be hosed to look up what he's doing after his otherwise unremarkable tenure in football.  B4Occupy Wall Street began the prior fall, and it was still going on at this point. For cartoonists, it was mostly a chance to take jabs at millennials or make other "witty" cartoons. NEXT WEEK: The Witch Huntsman are over. Newt is a Good Husband. The Keystone Pipeline Saga begins. And some idiot on a boat.

Calico Heart posted:I only discovered this genius in the gaybie thread too. This artist has such an incredible vision that I couldn't help voting for them more or less every time they came up. The bitter irony is that the conservative who railed against the welfare state now needs it...and his wife was denied disability claims for him because he was still making cartoons. Cartoons that very clearly show degradation in his abilities, and he was still denied. And the darkest aspect is that he was only submitting cartoons because drawing was one of the few things that still made him happy. So Holbert I hope your wife’s suffering was worth it to keep those drat welfare queens at bay. Pants Donkey fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Jan 13, 2020 |
