Matt's cartoons are so utterly bland it's hard to tell most of the time. It could just be the one thing he knows about Scotland ("there are two football teams that do not like each other a lot") combined with A Thing Happened In Scotland or he could actually be trying to make a point. Who knows

Yeah; fundamentally Matt's job is to make a cartoon with something resembling a joke about that day's news every 24 hours on the dot. Meaning, message, ideological consistency with himself or with the paper - those are all optional. The approximate joke and the consistent timeliness are what they pay him the big money for.

I'm pretty sure "racism is a huge thing and people are trying to pretend it's a small thing" isn't what he intended to draw, but it is 100% what he drew.

Prison Overpopulation: "We don't even know where to sleep anymore."

:wow:
I don't know what sort of Kellie it is but they're straight up calling prisoners vermin. Or the joke got BUTCHERED in execution.

Being possibly more generous than they deserve, the joke might be that the prison is so overcrowded with prisoners that there's no room left for the rats? Hence "c'est plus vivable" - it's nicer because the rats aren't there any more.

Ah yes, that major international power that recently suffered an attempted military coup, with armoured columns marching on the capital: America.

What?

Horsey's usually incoherent, but within the realm that you can at least figure out that it's about him having to see an unhoused person from his car at some point during the day.

Seems like a straightforward "local pharmacies are disappearing" to me?

The question is whether it's okay to condemn "Israelis" as a bloc for the IDF's actions, just like whether it's okay to condemn Palestinians as a bloc for Hamas's actions.

Are there any trustworthy numbers for what level of public support there is for the war in Israel right now?

Reminds me of this classic.
Which I'm pretty sure was originally about I/P too. Not a lot has changed in however many decades since Notley put it out.

Edit: we talking "liberal ideals until I specifically am inconvenienced" Rall or "makes a point we agree with in a way that is massively annoying" Rall?

Either would be a relief compared to current "fascism is the only reasonable choice" Rall.
