(Original image courtesy of escapegoat; font is Action Man) Welcome to the 2021 Political Cartoons Award Thread! The Kellies (previously known as the Gaybies) are our annual celebration of the best and worst in political cartooning. The initial purpose of this thread is to collect any nominations not made in the original thread (I will gather go back and gather all the previous nominations). Please read the 2021 thread and share your nominations here. Feel free to discuss your nominations and reasoning. You don't have to nominate in every category, and comics can be nominated in multiple categories at once. New This Year: Kelly's Kommandos I need volunteers to help get wiki sours up to date. Let me know if you can help with adding material to the wiki; it's a big task, so I'm looking to split it up and do it in phases. Members of the Kelly Kommando Kre- uh, I mean, the people who help out will get a free forums upgrade of your choice. Nominees Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Prizes Voting on all parts ends Midnight, April 23! Previous Years' Awards threads: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 Mid-term, 2015, 2016 Mid-Term, 2016, 2017 Mid-term, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. Nomination Deadline Nominations close on March 4. After that point I will restructure the thread for voting, listing all currently nominated comics. Voting will be easy: all nominees will have an alphanumeric code. Just pick your preferred winner in each category you want to vote in, and post the code. Nomination Rules and Suggestions
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. Special K Awards Please inform me of any cartoonists who have retired or died in 2021. Additionally, mention any “lifetime achievement” or similar awards you believe should go out. Kellies Kategories Note I may condense or expand categories based on nominations received.

God drat it, I had thought the search function indexing error was fixed. The in-thread search still doesn't index text within tags, meaning anyone who, for example, bolded the word "nomination" wasn't getting caught up in my search and indexing. I'm going to have to manually search all 500 pages of the previous year's thread. This may cause some additional delays. It also means we have a lot more nominees than previously anticipated. Progress report: having had to almost restart from scratch, I am 20% of the way through. Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 08:00 on Feb 6, 2022 |

You use a spreadsheet right? I could probably whip up some vba to automate your process somewhat. But I'm not sure exactly what your process is.

I use a spreadsheet and tabulation that can partially auto-format the input into the structure of the nominations post. I'll probably stick with what I've got for this year, then I'd be grateful if I can share it with you and we can see how it may be improved.

Sure thing. I have an idea (which is now half-materialised because I was bored this morning) for extracting the data at least. The human input is: 1. Open page of thread 2. Ctrl+U, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C (i.e. view page source, copy all of it to the clipboard) 3. Click button in spreadsheet And then a bunch of code mines the data for nominations, providing usernames, post content, image links etc etc. You could even automate those 3 steps with... er... i forget the name of the software but it allows you to script keypresses etc. If you send me what you got so far I might even be able to provide something later today (I am ill, so I'm sitting around at home doing nothing). Otherwise, I will await next time

Kellies Voting: Part 1 It begins! We have too many nominees, and too many comments about the nominees (see: Garrison), so I have to split voting into three sets. Voting on this set of nominees will continue until March 13. 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, and you do not have to vote in all categories. 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! 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! The first person to nominate a cartoon gets credit. 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. Unless otherwise stated, any text following a nominee is context from its original posting or nomination -either commentary from the thread and the nominator, or an accompanying statement by the artist. Worst "A Thing Happened" Cartoon A-1 Michael Ramirez, 3/10/2021 A-2 Steve Kelley, 3/13/2021 A-3 Mark Knight, 4/27/2021 A-4 Joe Heller, 5/1/2021 A-5 Steve Breen, 5/9/2021 A-6 Ben Garrison, 6/10/2021 quote:CICADAS FOR THE WIN! quote:I don't get the 17 in quotes. Or really most of that rant. quote:Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet A-7 Al Goodwyn, 6/25/2021 A-8 Robert Ariail, 7/21/2021 A-9 Rob Smith Jr., 7/28/2021 quote:So I'm not misreading that cartoon, a sports team name change is likend to the slaughter of the native Americans? quote:I love how Rob Smith Junior still can't resist adding a loving feather to the baseball player who he's supposedly honoring. quote:"Changing the name of a baseball team and not using a racist caricature as a mascot is just as bad as killing that race"- A white man A-10 Dana Summers, 7/31/2021 A-11 Michael Ramirez, 9/3/2021 A-12 Michael Ramirez, 10/13/2021 quote:RAIDERS™ RAIDE A-13 Tom Stiglich, 12/19/2021 A-14 Michael Ramirez, 12/27/2021 quote:Wtf So let's break this one down. They discovered a fossilised egg with a dinosaur in it. So, 2022 is the egg here, it was... going to hatch the radical left? (I thought the radical left won when Biden won but let's ignore that for the moment). So the radical left was going to come to prominence in 2022 (how?!? Are they expected to sweep the midterms?) but some outside force (not pictured or labelled) is putting a stop to it and the radical left will be dead forever. Either that or 2022 is going to safely contain the radical left forever, as containing things forever is something that eggs famously do instead of incubating them until they're ready to come out Worst "Two Things Happened" Cartoon AD-15 Christian Adams, 5/27/2021 AD-16 Steve Breen, 7/21/2021 quote:God drat. Did Breen see Gorrell's comic and panic? Because this is some first class phoning it in. AD-17 Michael Ramirez, 10/27/2021 Best AGC Interpretation BAGC-18 HootTheOwl, 7/14/2021 quote:The terrorism inside Afghanistan is still secured by a deadbolt and it's own lock. Only someone from the outside could release it. AGC. quote:Regarding BAGC-19 Brawnfire, 7/16/2021 quote:Racism is as real and important a force in our lives as buoyancy is to a swimmer quote:Regarding BAGC-20 Michael Ramirez, 11/10/2021 quote:U.S. Border security lets in anything white without an issue, showing it’s racial bias. AGC quote:Least Concealed Bigotry (general) BG-21 Loren Fishman, 9/28/2021 [vox sez: nominated for “Least Concealed Bigotry (Defending Nazis)”] BG-22 Joel Pett, 7/29/2021 [vox sez: nominated for “Least Concealed Bigotry (gender)”] quote:I interpreted it three times before I finally settled on the meaning I think it's supposed to have quote:I think you're wrong on all tries, or at least the last one. No one who says ""what if the vaccine makes me sterile?"" aloud is or ever has been or will be pro-vaccine. The woman in the cartoon is a solid pro-pandemiccer and the man, confusingly, wishes her belief was true so that she couldn't have progeny and not vaccinate them. Which is a paradox, because if she won't have the vaccine then she won't become sterile. BG-23 Gary Varvel, 12/8/2021 [vox sez: nominated for “Least Concealed Bigotry (gender)”] BG-24 Michael Ramirez, 8/20/2021 [vox sez: nominated for “Least Concealed Bigotry (Jingoism)”] Least Concealed Bigotry (LGBT+) BLGBT-25 Gary McCoy, 1/27/2021 quote:Get hosed forever McCoy. Also the loving gall of this rear end in a top hat whining about rubber stamping EOs after four years of Trump. Maybe don’t mention penmanship class in your cartoon if your own writing consists of barely legible squiggles. Also I know "don't touch the poop" is an (un?) official thread rule, but I went looking for this shitbag to tell him to go gently caress himself to his face. He's on twitter, but his entire feed consists of bot posts about how many people followed and unfollowed him on a given day; his political cartoons are not on Gocomics; and I tracked down his syndication page, on which this strip and several others have exactly zero comments. Is this guy published anywhere? Because I'm getting some real strong "shouting slurs into the void" vibes from him. (Also gently caress you again. Just for good measure.) BLGBT-26 Tony Branco, 1/31/2021 quote:Women athletes are apparently scrawny waifs. You know Branco is definitely watching a lot of women’s athletics. BLGBT-27 Pat Cross, 1/31/2021 quote:Cancel Culture doesn’t actually silence anyone, so bigots can stop whining about it. BLGBT-28 Ben Garrison, 2/28/2021 quote:Okay, so, new Garrison, and holy gently caress is it transphobic. quote:THERE ARE TWO GENDERS, MALE AND FEMALE. THAT IS ALL- CLAIMS OF ANYTHING ELSE IS MENTAL ILLNESS Senator Rand Paul questioned health nominee Rachel Levine on the process of gender ‘reassignment.’ Only there is no such thing as reassignment. quote:I think this might be the grossest Garrison I've ever seen. quote:I'm so tired. quote:nope. my brain just refused to process this poo poo, I'm taking the day off. quote:Since he compared banning hate speech to book burnings, I am compelled to point out that one of the things the nazis destroyed in their actual book burning ceremonies was the entire body of research on trans people and gender dysphoria that existed at the time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institut_f%C3%BCr_Sexualwissenschaft BLGBT-29 Gary Varvel, 3/3/2021 quote:Oh no, my butt gender! quote:BLGBT-30 Tony Branco, 3/30/2021 quote:I had no idea what this is referring to, as the only thing I can find about $630 million is it going towards environmental items such as parks and then towards the arts. I had to visit a right-wing site to see that arts bit includes LGBT PEOPLE DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNN. quote:Hell yeah. I love how all these people tell on themselves by drawing the US taxpayer as a tubby white guy probably 10-15 years younger than they are and with a fuller head of hair, but always in male boomer fashion favorites like t-shirts tucked into jeans or the khakis/polo combo. BLGBT-31 Steve Kelley, 5/28/2021 quote:Also Worst Opposite of Reality quote:We do, you loving idiot BLGBT-32 Michael Ramirez, 6/24/2021 quote:For those who don’t know, Ratjen refers to Heinrich Ratjen, an intersex man who was AFAB due to some confusion regarding identifying his genitals. He went on to compete in the women’s team Olympics, and this was rescinded when everything came to light. I am using male pronouns as Ratjen seemed comfortable identifying as a male, but this all happened nearly 100 years ago so who knows. He did identify as a man until his death, so I’ll go off that. He later tried spinning his story as the Nazis forcing him to compete on the women’s team to defeat Jewish competition to avoid embarrassing Hitler’s regime, but seems to just be a fabrication…that got used as the basis of a movie in 2009! quote:"Trans women could destroy my schlubby rear end" - Michael Ramirez quote:Ramirez must be terribly insecure in his masculinity to be this scared of burly, strong women. quote:Ramirez is unfamiliar with weight classes. BLGBT-33 Gary Varvel, 6/30/2021 BLGBT-34 Mike Lester, 7/7/2021 BLGBT-35 Tatsuya Ishida, 7/10/2021 quote:"Okay here we go." BLGBT-36 Chip Bok, 7/23/2021 quote:And this is a good time as any to point out the Wi Spa thing was a transphobic hoax done by a woman who was later found out to be closely associated with the Heritage Foundation. I know I'm going to sound crazy now, but it was literally a false flag designed to specifically target trans women and paint them as predators to advance the chud agenda. quote:It's also as good a time as any to remind you that the Wi Spa thing involved armed right wing gangs attacking people: https://twitter.com/TinaDesireeBerg/status/1411770220683792385 https://twitter.com/VPS_Reports/status/1411370746622791682 BLGBT-37 Michael Ramirez, 8/16/2021 BLGBT-38 Tony Branco, 10/18/2021 quote:New Teacher The Left wants to indoctrinate our kids with radical Ideas about sex and pornography. quote:My high school didn't offer Gay Sex Role Play so I took Latin instead. BLGBT-39 Tony Branco, 10/23/2021 quote:Bombshells Eat your heart out China, You may have your first Hypersonic missile but we have a transgender 4-star general. quote:Don't be so quick to dismiss this as transphobia. That's a pretty racist caricature as well. BLGBT-40 Mike Lester, 10/27/2021 quote:Wow gently caress you Lester you transphobic bigot BLGBT-41 Scott Stantis, 10/23/2021 quote:While I'm sure it doesn't have much of a chance at year's end, something about this one really pisses me off more than a load of more overtly offensive ones, so I don't want to see it passed over. quote:I love how Stantis actually brings up ignoring the AIDS epidemic and tries to follow it up with ""But on balance"" BLGBT-42 Gary Varvel, 12/27/2021 quote:Tatsuya Ishida's last Patreon supporter. BLGBT-43 Pat Cross, 12/30/2021 …whew.

BR-53 Ben Garrison, 3/13/2021 quote:George Floyd had a violent, drug-riddled criminal history. He was convicted of armed robbery and served time in prison.

If it were happening in any other country he wouldn't give a poo poo about a Muslim population being oppressed. quote:Holy poo poo, gently caress you Lester. quote:I can only read that Lester as "THIS IS WHAT CONSERVATIVES ACTUALLY BELIEVE". We're led to think he's a hypocrite liberal, but this is just face value conservative gatekeeping. quote:He's going for a double ""You're the real racist."" BR-61 Tony Branco, 4/21/2021 quote:Jesus Christ these people are just reveling in any excuse to be racist. quote:Also allow me to say gently caress you Branco, you racist turd quote:Really not sure how Maxine Water's comments impacted the trial as the jury was supposed to be sequestered in the first place.

Upon first look, I thought the backwards country statement was just something the imperialists would say, and not a sincere belief held by Horsey. BR-69 Robert Ariail, 8/24/2021 BR-70 Yaakov Kirschen, 8/28/2021 quote:Seriously, holy gently caress BR-71 Jeff Danziger, 9/10/2021 quote:Haha, look at these whacky middle easterners bringing their livestock to the meeting and demanding a woman serve them.

A-13 AD-16 BAGC-19 BG-22 BLGBT-38 BO-48 BR-77 C-80 CT-96 Some comments: Worst "A Thing Happened" I almost gave to the Rob Smith Jr. cartoon, but it at least took effort to draw that lovely racist thing, and it took effort to spin "Cleveland baseball team changes name" into that loving thing. Stiglich though took no effort. Draw a Santa face, slap an "OMICRON" on it, done by 10 AM. Worst LGBT+ bigotry cartoon was a hard choice, there were some especially vile contenders. That specific Branco won out for me not only for its gross depiction of trans women (which was in many of the other ones) but also for pushing the lie of "trans activists showing school children gay porn" poo poo. Least concealed bigotry (race) was also a really loving hard choice, I was prepared to give it to McCoy right off the bat for that Stacey Abrams caricature, then I saw the Ramirez about "burning and looting" and went "nothing can possibly beat this one." And then I saw the Indigenous People's Day cartoon and it was no contest, at least burning a police station is a thing one could be mad about regardless of the context. But getting mad at honoring native peoples and responding by portraying them as violent savages? That's some loving racism right there.

A-9 AD-16 BAGC-20 BG-24 BLGBT-28 but holy poo poo that's a tight race BO-48 BR-55, but 50, 59, and 77 come REAL goddamn close in a cesspit of worthwhile contenders. gently caress you, Branco, and fuuuuuuck you, Ramirez. C-87 because wait is that actually supposed to be Kavanagh?! CT-101 even if I want desperately to give it to 98 for also being an especially vile representative of the BLGBT pool.

A-6 for being very unhinged about a thing that happened, also superman posing flys AD- 16 because that's just lazy BAGC-20 though 18 is a contender BG-22 for being the quantum superposition of all bad takes BLGBT-28 the lifetime achievement award goes to Garrison BO-45 Weak nominations BR-68 "actually we needed to try imperialism harder" (this category honestly needs a domestic and foreign split) C-92 Wave a pen at a page and end up with """""""ART""""""" CT-101 Pet issue, and one of the few bad takes not eligible in a different category

A-9 - Others are lazier, others are even less important, but this gets my pick for being especially racist. It could have made multiple categories. AD-16 - Gorrell tier. BAGC-20 - A correct response to Ramirez ramping it up especially hard these days. Nice work on those wood textures though. BG-22 - (Kramer-slides in out of nowhere with some incel poo poo) BLGBT - Too close to pick. I hope Hell is real. BO-48 - The strongest and clearest nominee even if it's not all that original, but shout-out to that metal as gently caress drawing of death. And Benson, that is a copy of your best comic ever and it's a pretty anemic adaptation for this metaphor. What happened to you, man? BR-78 - Stiff competition, but I'm picking this one just because I'm pretty sure he's implying that the newscaster and the suspect are the same person. That nose is practically copypasted. It's also possible Stiglich can't draw more than one black man, tbf. C-92 - stick to wood, Ramirez. That's not even a person. CT-103 - Blatant erasure of the history of civil rights agitation. But you're right, we're still fighting -- "Chinese virus," anyone? Ramirez is Branco levels of human garbage this year. Obviously he's always been, but now he's being open about it. It's like he lost interest in the veneer of respectability.

I can't go back and check atm, but fwiw I think Ramirez has consistently won the racist and worst overall categories in a number of years. Whatever his other output, he seems to produce something absolutely rage-inducing a couple of times a year.

I did it based on number of nominations, there were only a couple sexism nominations, so I put those in a generic category. I welcome any feedback, especially critical, on how the Kellies are being run.

A-9 AD-16 BAGC-20 BG-24 BLGBT-38 BR-50, Branco is immensely strong in this category, but it might end up splitting his vote! C-87. Danziger's drawings barely resemble people and I was of the opinion that his art is some of the worst in the thread for months now. He is, amongst the cartoonists whose works do not get your blood pressure up too far, by far the worst in the thread. CT-97

A-11 AD-16 BAGC-20 BG-24 BLGBT-39 - This was a very full category (with lots of honestly quite similar comics) but I'll give it to this one because it's like a literal version of what the "JDAMs are such a gemeni thing!" meme was parodying. BO-47 BR-79 Lots of choice here, but this one is some A Wyatt Mann poo poo (along with trying to "both sides" the big lie) C-94 CT-101

Worst "A Thing Happened" cartoon: A-1 – There are probably worse from a triviality standpoint, but, eh… if nothing else, I doubt Harry pronounces 'duty' the American way. Worst "Two Things Happened" cartoon: AD-17 – I'm actually kind of surprised that this is the only one of these here. Best AGC interpretation: BAGC-18 – Locks. How do they work? Least concealed bigotry (general): BG-22 – Seriously, she's not even doing anything for him to be whinging about. Beyond existing, at any rate. Least concealed bigotry (LGBT+): BLGBT-38 – Wait, this isn't the one I nominated. See, I told you that Prickly City wouldn't have much chance, even if it still raises the bile inside of me. When it comes to 'least concealed' though, Branco just crams everything and the kitchen sink into this one, giving it the edge (for lack of a better word) over the rest of this poo poo. Best overall: BO-48 Least concealed bigotry (race): BR-61 – A difficult choice, but this one here, god, it so heavy handed it's like a parody. Worst caricature: C-80 – Ramirez and Rall seem like easy mode here, so I figured I'd opt for something different. I'm not sure which caricature we're meant to be referring to here (I assume Oprah's), but they're all dreadful in some capacity. Worst concern trolling: CT-102 – Another difficult choice. I kept being tempted by the Lesters but nearly went for that Bok at the end. Instead we're getting Ramirez for basically the reasons mentioned in the nom.
