Personally the only time in my 20 years that an order ever came down on the newsroom was when some trumpheaded little poo poo inherited his daddy's paper and didn't want the then-candidate to receive negative coverage. I quit immediately after.

Weird how the cartoons went from feigned outrage at classified document mishandling to "it's bad but oh well lol" when Pence's were found.

I think, or at least it's the case for me, it's so hard to look at because there's nothing to draw the eye more than anything else, it's just a bunch of flat, grotesque faces smushed next to each other and staring directly at the viewer, each no more and no less attention grabbing than the last, and they're all talking, so there's not even a speech bubble for distraction. At least when Ramirez fills his cartoons full of endless lovely details, they're not all the same.

Who was that cartoonist the thread banned years and years ago because their art was just so hideous? Like he was trying to ape John Kricfalusi but all that meant was a tangled mass of limbs going in every direction

For context, because I had to look this up myself to understand what the gently caress crawled up Bob's rear end over a years-old article, Hulu is making it into a show. The reason rightwingers love to claim it's been debunked are explained in an article written by one of the fact-checkers:

It reminds me of that old webcomic, Shortpacked, when the one character got elected and was trying to outlaw cancer, but it got overturned because they're all just so bad and mean and can't even agree that cancer is bad.

The comic about people working in a toy store?

It’s funny. Jim Davis is a really close friend to Mike Pence. The Garfield comics canonically take place in Idaho. Pence has a bunch of Garfield cartoons/birthday cards hand-drawn for him by Davis in his office. They probably believe a lot of the same things. But Davies is smart enough to keep his head down, count his money, and make sure that his product is as middle of the road bland as possible.

I hear he based the dog cum comic on Mike Pence's real life tho

I find Hitch's comics incredibly hard to look at, so I fixed the skew and it's revealing.


Folks, your protagonists: a bobble-headed Ronald Reagan, and a couple who is either an old man with cherubism and his far younger gargoyle wife, or grandparents rear end-grabbing.

AF Branco was a fat, healthy man; but he turned very pale. He gazed in stupified astonishment on the small rebel for some seconds, and then clung for support to the copper. The assistants were paralysed with wonder; the boys with fear.

'What!' said the cartoonist at length, in a faint voice.

'Please, sir,' replied Minnesota's school children, 'I want some more.'

Soon the rain of shell casings rose above the rooftop and the man suffocated. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, “I had faith in you but you didn’t save me, you let me die. I don’t understand why!”

To this God replied, “I sent you a Glock and an H&K and an AR 15, what more did you expect?”

Give me your book, the sex ed, the drag queen story hour, and the whole school, and I'll spare your lives. Just walk away. I will give you safe passage in the wasteland. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror."
