 (Image courtesy of escapegoat) Welcome to the 2020 Political Cartoons Award Thread! Now with a new, less offensive name! We had a relatively low number of nominations from the thread and wiki in 2020 (I've been gathering them, don't worry), so I am actively soliciting additional nominations. Please read the 2020 thread and share your nominations here. You don't have to nominate in every category, and comics can be nominated multiple times for one award, or in multiple categories at once. Voting On February 21 we'll close nominations and I will restructure the thread for voting, listing all currently nominated comics. Voting will be easy: just pick a single comic from each category you want to vote in. Voting is now active and will continue until March 26. See voting rules below. Nomination Rules and Suggestions
NEW IN 2020: Special Awards! If you believe a cartoon or cartoonist should receive a special, one-time or lifetime achievement award, please post about it in this thread. Previous Years' Awards threads: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 Mid-term, 2015, 2016 Mid-Term, 2016, 2017 Mid-term, 2017, 2018, and 2019. You will be able to see the final winners on Wiki Sours, the SA Politoons wiki! Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 02:11 on Mar 10, 2021 |

Nominations and Voting Voting will continue until March 26. How to vote Each category has a letter or letter combo, and each cartoon has a number. Make a post with the number of each entry you're voting for and what category it's in. I'll take either the letter or the category name. You get one vote per category. If you want to change your vote or add a vote in a category you haven't already voted in, please edit your existing post! NEW THIS YEAR! Prizes The creator of the winning "Best Edit/Parody" and the user with the most winning nominations will both receive a forums upgrade of their choice! Kellies Kategories and Nominees Notes: I removed or condensed a couple categories because they got no or only one nomination. Listed dates are posting date for the image. First person to nominate a cartoon will get credit in the awards. Unless otherwise stated, any text following a nominee is context from its original posting or nomination. Worst "A Thing Happened" Cartoon Category A A-1  Mike Lester, 1/18/2020 A-2  JRRose, 1/30/2020 A-3  JRRose, 2/1/2020 I shouldn't be surprised, but god this sucks A-4  Priggee, 2/8/2020 A-5  Adams, 6/1/2020 A-6  Garrison, 12/25/2020 I love the inclusion of the Jupiter-Saturn in there for absolutely no reason, just was in the middle of making his insane comic and was like "oh hey, this is topical" Least Concealed Bigotry in a Cartoon (general) Category B B-7  Pat Cross, 1/3/2020 B-8  Branco, 1/20/2020 B-9  Garrison, 3/2/2020 B-10  Kirschen, 3/6/2020 B-11  Mike Lester, 3/20/2020 B-12  Zanetti, 4/30/2020 B-13  Zanetti, 5/31/2020 B-14  Zanetti, 6/8/2020 Think along the lines of Bill Leak and that Zanetti is an absolute racist piece. He's saying all First Australian people are child abusers. That is truly one abhorrent hosed up cartoon. B-15  Stiglich, 7/4/2020 ”Stiglich” posted:There is no forgiveness or redemption in the Cancel Culture. One wrong tweet or foolish act in public and you will be chased, besieged, overwhelmed and pecked apart by an army of faceless pigeons. This is a trace of a scene from Hitchcock's The Birds, which is why Stiglich is pretending these aren't crows. B-16  Fishman, 7/12/2020 B-17  Ramirez, 8/27/2020 B-18  Ramirez, 9/12/2020 B-19  Terry Wise B-20  Garrison B-21  Kirschen, 1/11/2020 B-22  Garrison, 1/26/2020 B-23  Gary McCoy, 3/2/2020 B-24  Payne, 3/8/2020 B-25  Gary McCoy, 6/3/2020 B-26  Stiglich, 5/31/2020 B-27  Bok, 7/23/2020 The National Museum of African American History, part of the Smithsonian, had this on its website describing "white culture" both as it sees itself and the ways its basic assumptions pervade society:  It pissed off racists and caused a small stir in right wing media recently for some reason (possibly they finally looked at the NMAAHC website to find things to criticize John Lewis). Bok has selectively quoted the descriptors he sees as unmitigated good and left out the context of "this is how white culture sees itself" to show how race criticism is the real racism. B-28  Ramirez, 8/15/2020 B-29  Gary McCoy, 8/31/2020 B-30  Ramirez, 9/15/2020 B-31  Garrison, 12/9/2020 [vox sez: Image reuploaded as twitter account was suspended.] B-32  Gary McCoy, 12/15/2020 B-33  Stiglich B-34  Stiglich The Least Concealed Bigotry: Racism category could easily be filled with nothing but Stiglich. I want to nominate this one because it actually led to newspaper editorial resignations and, probably, Stiglich getting kicked off Gocomics. (It was posted to GC, deleted, reposted, deleted again, reposted in black and white, deleted again, and a week later Stiglich was gone.) Worst Caricature Category C C-35  Ramirez, 2/5/2020 Those Generic Angry Football Players are bad enough, but Jesus Christ, I think Ramirez had a stroke while he was drawing Schumer. C-36  Kirschen, 2/8/2020 C-37  Branco, 3/28/2020 C-38  Lester, 9/3/2020 C-39  Mike Peters Worst COVID-19 Cartoon Category COV COV-40  Payne, 7/22/2020 COV-41  Varvel COV-42  Delonas COV-43  Branco COV-44  Rall Worst Gaslighter Cartoon Category G G-45  Mike Lester, 1/3/2020 G-46  Leak, son of leak, 1/3/2020 G-47  Gary McCoy, 1/3/2020 "Anti-religion violence." So if I understand it correctly, he's trying to conflate church shootings with anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish violence and claim to be the victim of all of them, even though the perpetrators of the latter are often Christians with the same ideology as McCoy. Gotta have the persecution complex, can't live without it. G-48  Mike Lester, 1/3/2020 G-49  Stantis, 1/6/2020 G-50  Ramirez, 1/9/2020 G-51  Zanetti, 1/19/2020 G-52  Leak, son of Leak, 1/22/2020 G-53  JRRose, 1/23/2020 G-54  S.Kelly, 1/24/2020 G-55  Branco, 1/26/2020 "You can't interrogate a criminal, because they're criminals" is a galaxy-brained take. Yes, that he was indicted for corruption is exactly why he's a good witness in something directly related to what he was indicted about, dumbass. G-56  Bok, 1/29/2020 It means that if someone’s accused of trying to rig an election and is still doing so, you can’t say their fate should be decided in the election they’re trying to rig. G-57  Bok, 2/2/2020 McConnell deliberately scheduled the trial to prevent them from campaigning in Iowa, you disingenuous shithead. G-58 Kirschen, 2/10/2020 G-59  Ramirez, 2/16/2020 G-60  S.Kelly, 2/25/2020 https://berniesanders.com/tax-returns/ G-61  Branco, 3/3/2020 G-62  Stantis, 3/12/2020 G-63  Stiglich, 4/21/2020 This is some next level gaslighting. He said it at a campaign rally, on video, with thousands of people present. Commentators at the time predicted that he would come to regret those words once the virus inevitably got bad. Oh well, down the memory hole. G-64  Mike Lester, 4/25/2020 G-65  Branco, 4/29/2020 Again: it happened. There's literally footage of Trump saying that. Jesus loving christ. I know that "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command" but this is loving ridiculous. G-66  Mike Lester, 5/9/2020 He admitted that he's guilty of doing what he was accused of. It's on the record. The fact that Barr stopped the prosecution doesn't change the fact that he's, yes, literally guilty of a crime. Published 5/9/2020 I think. G-67  Branco, 5/13/2020 G-68  Nemo, 6/1/2020 ...I can't believe I'm saying this in tyool 2020, but we shoulda had a "blaming obama" category. G-69 Gary McCoy, 6/3/2020 G-70  Branco, 6/6/2020 Gooooooooooooooo gently caress yourself! G-71  Mike Lester, 6/14/2020 G-72  R McKee, 6/20/2020 Putting up a participation trophy monument to someone who fought a war - and lost - to enslave half the population is not an "unpopular opinion", you disingenuous gently caress. G-73  Mike Lester, 7/5/2020 All stories were true, gently caress you. G-74  Bok, 7/29/2020 (Unless there's an election year special "Worst cartoon where they just draw something embarrassing that Trump did and say a Democrat did it") G-75  Ramirez, 8/6/2020 Remember that time Devin Nunes advocating for Republican ballot harvesting on live teevee while referring to it as "ballot harvesting"? https://twitter.com/LibsInAmerica/status/1261069338427211782 G-76 Ramirez, 8/27/2020 G-77  Bok, 8/29/2020 (it won't win of course but look at this poo poo) G-78  Ramirez, 9/11/2020 G-79  Rall, 9/14/2020 ”Rall” posted:Voting is always an ethical dilemma. For people thinking about voting for Joe Biden, one of the things that they might not be thinking about as they fantasize about the somewhat remote possibility of a liberal stalwart replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsberg is the higher probability that Biden, given his history, will start another war in the Middle East. G-80  Lisa, 9/22/2020 G-81  Ramirez, 9/28/2020 G-82  Lester, 10/14/2020 No democrat, not a single one, has mentioned Barret's religion during her hearings so far; instead, it's the republicans that keep harping on "she's a catholic and that's why democrats oppose her." G-83  Fishman, 10/17/2020 Twitter is literally bending over backwards and twisting its own rules into a pretzel to avoid banning Trump and his cronies while slapping lefties for the smallest infraction at the same time, but sure, they're clearly working with the democrats. G-84  Tinsley, 10/26/2020 Biden did everything he could to discredit Anita Hill, letting Thomas testify before and after her. G-85  Tinsley, 12/11/2020 Hell, I don't think it's even true, it's just such a stupid take holy gently caress. G-86 Leak son of Leak, 1/22/2020 G-87  Payne, 1/23/2020 GO gently caress YOURSELF WITH A CACTUS AND A GYMPIE GYMPIE YOU ABSOLUTE loving PIECE OF loving poo poo G-88  Stantis G-89  Lisa Laziest Non-Gorrell Cartoon Category L L-90 JRRose, 1/30/2020 L-91  Box, 3/27/2020 L-92  Branco, 4/10/2020 L-93  Ramirez, 4/30/2020 L-94  Stiglich, 5/13/2020 L-95  Stantis, 5/13/2020 L-96  Ramirez, 8/10/2020 L-97  Ramirez, 8/15/2020 First result on gis for Jabberwocky.

MI-109  Brady Izquierdo Rodríguez, 3/3/2020 [vox sez: this is the one cartoon this person seems to be known most for.] MI-110  https://twitter.com/jzikah MI-111  Stantis I, unlike Stantis, know what a desert is. MI-112  Ramirez Worst Obituary Cartoon Category O O-113  Priggee, 1/23/2020 we're in 2020 now, how do you screw that up O-114  Stantis, 2/23/2020 I didn't expect it to ever happen, but Prickly City managed to get a Gaybies Nomination: worst obituary. O-115  Benson, 9/1/2020 O-116  Garrison, 9/19/2020 ”Garrison posted:]Reminder: Today the President holds the power to nominate a Supreme Court Justice and the Senate holds the power to confirm. Do it, without delay or apology. You think the Left would wait til a new President was elected to fill a Supreme Court vacancy? Remember the Kavanaugh hearings! Best Edit/Parody Category P P-117  Stantis, 1/3/2020 P-118  Ague Proof, 1/1/2020 P-119  Jerusalem, 1/4/2020 P-120  Ague Proof, 1/24/2020 P-121  SneezeOfTheDecade, 2/1/2020 P-122  Ague Proof, 2/4/2020 Gonna nominate this for best edit in the gaybies, just so I can call everyone else philistines when it comes last P-123  Cat Mattress, 2/26/2020 P-124  Avirosb, 3/2/2020 P-125  Alhazred, 3/17/2020 P-126  SneezeOfTheDecade, 4/25/2020 P-127  By popular demand, 6/5/2020 P-128  By popular demand, 7/3/2020 P-129  e-dt, 7/7/2020 P-130  Lurdiak, 7/7/2020 P-131  Kennel, 7/14/2020 P-132  SneezeofTheDecade, 9/11/2020 P-133  Preen Dog, 12/10/2020 P-134  Cowcaster, 12/20/2020 P-135  Alen Blažeković Parody of  P-136  Jedit, 3/18/2020 Nominated because of attention to detail in lettering, mimicking McCoy in the original. Most Easily Reinterpreted Category R R-137  Mann, 1/6/2020 R-138  Payne, 1/15/2020 R-139  Mike Lester, 1/16/2020 R-140  Ramirez, 1/22/2020 R-141  JRRose, 2/8/2020 R-142  Branco, 2/25/2020 R-143  Branco, 5/13/2020 R-144  Delonas, 5/29/2020 If I didn't know Delonas I would agree with you, but with the context of the author's political views, I can tell it's absolutely meant to be anti-Kaep even if it doesn't come across that way. In fact, this deserves infamy. R-145 Lisa, 5/29/2020 Didn't expect to see Lisa arguing that the majority of censored voices on Twitter would be on the left. R-146  Wuerker, 6/6/2020 1. Give me my green card. R-147  Pat Cross, 6/21/2020 R-148  Stantis, 7/31/2020 R-149  Ramirez, 9/9/2020 R-150  Pat Cross, 9/9/2020 R-151  Lukovich, 9/17/2020 R-152  Ramirez, 11/6/2020 R-153  Ramirez, 12/22/2020 Worst Cartoon about a Tragedy Category TG TG-154 Mike Lester, 1/3/2020 TG-155 Mike Lester, 1/3/2020 TG-156  Branco, 3/7/2020 TG-157  Mike Lester, 5/3/2020 TG-158 Branco, 6/6/2020 Gooooooooooooooo gently caress yourself! Worst Cartoon about Terrorism Category TR TR-159  Fishman, 10/22/2020 I think this is the first cartoon to even acknowledge car attacks on protesters, despite more than a hundred before early summer alone. And wouldn't you know it, Fishman is endorsing attempted homicide so long as it's targeting the correct people. This is easily one of the most disgusting cartoons posted this year. "They aren't really people, killing them is not wrong" is pure fascism. TR-160  Stiglich TR-161  Garrison Most Willfully Dense Category WD WD-162  Stiglich, 1/3/2020 WD-163 Stantis, 1/6/2020 WD-164  Bob, 1/13/2020 WD-165  Fishman, 3/14/2020 WD-166  Rall, 5/11/2020 I mean, seriously, it's benign, but so loving stupid. He even drew plenty of space between the two guys in the bar, showing that he probably understood the point. WD-167 Delonas, 5/29/2020 If I didn't know Delonas I would agree with you, but with the context of the author's political views, I can tell it's absolutely meant to be anti-Kaep even if it doesn't come across that way. In fact, this deserves infamy. WD-168  Tim Campbell, 6/29/2020 I don't know what category it should be but this deserves a nomination. [vox sez: ok] WD-169  Gorrell, 7/6/2020 This is such a monumentally stupid take. 1. The Declaration of Independence does not have the force of law. 2. Those words didn't historically stop slavery, segregation, and lynching, and they aren't stopping police brutality or economic inequality today. WD-170 Payne, 7/22/2020 WD-171  Varvel, 7/23/2020 WD-172  Fishman, 7/31/2020 WD-173 Stantis WD-174  Mike Lester, 5/3/2020 published 4/14/2020 Worst Overall Category WO WO-175 Branco, 1/21/2020 WO-176  Mike Lester, 1/25/2020 Worst... something. Worst... holy poo poo. Just the worst. Make it Worst Cartoon. Jesus gently caress. WO-177 Ramirez, 8/27/2020 Y'know what, I want to make sure. This is goddamn vile. a sighting of the rare Instant Gaybie Reminder that Ramirez won the 2014 overall worst gaybie for a cartoon on the same freaking subject. I won’t post it for your collective sanity. WO-178  Delonas, 5/28/2020 Ahmaud was murdered in cold blood while being filmed so everyone could see. For anyone to come up with this take is really vile! WO-179 Stiglich, 5/31/2020 WO-180 Zanetti, 6/8/2020 Think along the lines of Bill Leak and that Zanetti is an absolute racist piece. He's saying all First Australian people are child abusers.

ElbowRooming posted:So Discendo Vox, is that thread ready? I'm really sorry for these interminable delays, folks. The reindexing appears not to have happened yet, as searching the 2020 thread for "nomin" gives zero results. What I can offer is that in the meantime I'm setting up procedures and tools (with the help of Sneezeofthedecade and Munkeymon) that should make all future Kellies processes infinitely less painful or slow.

I am just kicking myself for asking for additional nominations, this is a freaking nightmare to manage. I've got some stuff in the works, courtesy of other goons, that will make future years much more manageable. edit: just gotta grab the ones from this thread...then cruch them all into a post. Manually. We're at or near 200 nominations this year. edit: a total 210 nominations, counting some special cases, are now coded. I'll clean the data and get it set up tonight and prep and post the voting tomorrow. edit: Following some cleaning and removal of duplicates (yes I am using a spreadsheet), we have 192 entries. About a quarter of all entries were for the Gaslighter category. I think we need to find some way to break that group down for future years. Jurgan posted:The "bigotry" category is gonna have 300 nominees next year. You were incorrect, my friend. "Only" 29 bigotry entries in 2020. We're just...inured to it. edit: Users Cat Mattress (now banned) and CAT INTERCEPTOR get the finger of shame for listing nominations as "nominations". Could someone compile obits or summaries of any artists who died or retired in 2020? Or names at least? Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Mar 9, 2021 |
