Political Cartoons 2013: Click Here To Hate Yourself

Bennett is a god damn national treasure.

20 dead children: aw :(. Flaccid platitudes about gun control: TANGLED WEB OF AMERICA'S DOOM!

HAHA holy shit! How can ANYONE even come close to believing this??
Also of note: Russia and Iran, maybe North Korea appear to be represented by their respective leaders, not only is America represented by a towelboy child but America's military is represented by a generic white guy while Obama is just a manager.
Chuck you really are the worst.

Wow! You can get food equally as good as restaurant food for free?? Where? Even as a metaphor this fucking sucks.
You suck Asay.

...good point? You really...proved him wrong?? Is Putin a Democrat? Is it ok to hit Asay in his ancient hateful fucking face because Putin something something? I hope so.


This has been relevant for years

Ugh :( Yeah :(

uh...

600 thousand of these smug clusterfucks of stupid

Why it's almost...almost...

Like the economy is some sort of

I don't know

ONGOING thing instead of

a one off soundbite

maybe it's just me


A CAR going over a CLIFF???? HOW EXCITING AND NEW!!



So uh...Pa there makes over 400 thousand dollars a year? And what do his personal finances have to do with business? Just a few questions I know you won't fucking answer.

"Obamalism"

Dear Ramirez
Learn how tire tracks work
When using a driving metaphor make sure left is the bad direction if your target is "left wing"
Hey, you learned a new technique for drawing grass! Maybe next we can fix the white bubble around everything you draw!


January is beach weather in Florida right?
"Babe, you know libs never own up to the do." Sage words.
I love that Muir implies that women have a reason for staying in an abusive relationship that MEN just wouldn't get!
In short: fuck you Day by Day

Try to parse Obama's face in a way that doesn't end with tears and blood



Oh no! The "spending" dragon is eating...uh...hm...

You sure put the right words in black female mouth piece's mouth white male cartoonist!
Making your mouth piece a black female is the new conical hood.

Shut up Payne

Lookit that rainbow lei

This is why I don't post Dry Bones

Ow ow ow stop hitting me.

Oh wait I'm hitting myself.

I obviously missed something, other than the point of most of the current selection, but what's with the Putin/orphan thing?

They caught on to our scheme of returning them to Russia as adults to form sleeper cells.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep
but I have promises to keep
and miles to go before I sleep.
Remember, Tyler. Miles to go before you sleep.

EDIT: only really old people who watched a lot of bad movies will understand that.

WELCOME TO THE THREAD!

All buttons that don't refresh the page are now disabled.

I love that you used crayon but I specifically said "doesn't" end in tears and blood

What's funny/sad is he is so close, so close, to making a point feminists actually make, and only the fact it we know he's a misogynist asswipe is saving him from making that "mistake." Generally, feminists often try to make the point that it's rarely as easy as "oh, well, fuck you then, I'm out!" to get out of an abusive relationship, that women don't stay with their abusers 'cause they're stupid or whatever. But since it's Muir, we can safely assume that he thinks that they are, in fact, simply dumb, because bitches, am i rite? And of course men would never get it, as they are from Mars and the ladies are from Venus and okay I am done thinking about this stupid shitty comic now.

Also, fuck you, Day by Day.

Wait which one is Karl?

The only thing day by day got right in that strip is yes ..it is beach weather here. Maybe a bit cool for the real floridian but anyone above say North Carolina should feel comfy enough to go swimming. I had the air con all day.

If said strip is somewhere south of me say the keys, gimme sandals and lets go.

In other news Fuck you day by day.

What the hell is with Mallard Fillmore running around at top speed holding a microphone in those comics all the time?

I honestly didn't realize he wasn't playing the banjo until the last one.

Karl was the one who was an OCCUPY WALL STREET THUG or something. I assure you, he is "liberal" and therefore "evil."

He's either 'chasing the news as it happens' or being chased by an angry mob of people who disagree with him (read: anyone capable of critical thinking).

I prefer the latter interpretation.

As I'm sure everyone reading this thread already knows, the fiscal cliff was supposed to be bad because it would slow the economy by raising taxes and cutting spending in order to reduce the debt. Several elements of the so-called fiscal cliff were the result of the last round of debt ceiling negotiations. In other words,

This guy

is a fucking moron and this guy

is a no talent hack and a fucking idiot and this guy

is so dumb he's lucky if he can get dressed by himself in the morning.

I could go on, but I'd rather point out that I think it's cute that Otterloop made fun of FUDbD for having a typo -- as if having all the intended words makes it any more comprehensible.

Ohhhh, the Russian guy. Who is of course a Communist BUT THAT'S NOT BEING A BIGOT, THAT'S WHAT RUSSIANS ARE YOU KNOW.

At least it wasn't the black guy, I had my money on the black guy

The first rule of reading FUDbD in this thread is to pay no attention to things like characters and continuity. Who gives a shit which one is Karl? Otterloop will tell us anything we need to know. And if you ask too many questions, you could provoke a retrospective post and do you want that on your soul?

No no, the Russian guy is someone else. The Russian guy is the stupid liberal chick's current boyfriend, who somehow remembers the Horrors of Communism even though he wasn't actually born yet when the USSR broke up or whatever, and is all I NO UNDERSTAND Y THE US WANTS 2 B COMMUNIST. Karl was the stupid liberal chick's boyfriend before that (I think), I forget what his primary defects were aside from DERP DERP HYPOCRITICAL LIBS AM I RITE.

I usually don't get much nerdrage over these because these guys are hacks, but I'd like to fucking shoot Chuck Asay in the head, repeatedly, over this one. I'd be doing everyone a favor.

The US spends 46% of the world's defense dollars. You could add up every other country/group in this picture - China, Russia, N. Korea, etc. - and they don't equal a fucking third of the USA's defense budget. A more apt image of the USA versus another country comparing defense spending is:

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa! Who EVER said ANYTHING about our hands being DEAD??? You violent Leftist thugs just LOVE your violent imagery!!!"
And I'm glad the Des Moines Register is now the paper of record for all of the Left. We needed to consolidate.

"Or we can think up OTHER ways to gather revenue."
I'm assuming this ends with Obama blowing up the Debt Shark with an air tank labeled, I don't know, "tank" or "increased taxes" or something.

Can you believe that elitist Obama taking a vacation and golfing??? I've NEVER heard of any other president golfing or taking vacations!
The Right is on such a huge "revenge for all those Bush criticisms while pretending he never existed" tour, meanwhile ignoring anything real or substantive to complain about because they used to cheer those things. It's super fucked up to watch.


AW HELLS YEAH! FINALLY someone has the GUTS to take on reality show producers!
What was the arc before this? "Stories the LAMEstream Media ignored"? Nothing says "Hard hitting REAL journalism" like SLAMMING reality show producers for...doing their job...

He is orange too!

AH!

Here we go

huh? Oh. Are we pretending Democrats are hypocrites for not cutting ALL the Bush tax cuts even though they've been trying to trim just the cuts for the rich since Obama took office? Ok I guess. Grrrr!

Oh god. Memes.

Holy shit is that gruesome. I guess I'm grateful it's in black and white and there aren't any pools of blood? And that the 1/3 in the corner probably indicates the date and not that there are two more of these comics in this series.

Very nice. Now please explain to me how the third panel follows from the second panel. I assume it's supposed to because that's how these things generally work, but . . .

Woman in the last panel is the Liberal Punchbag and as you can see asserted in the second panel ""Babe, you know libs never own up to the do." So she's likely there as fydbd-logic example how "the libs" never take the action etc.

Shit, I didn't even think of that, I just thought of it as a scene change to show "BET THIS LIB HAS SOME REGRETS NOW," but you could easily make the argument that he's going "like this liberal, refusing to own up to the fact that staying with her abusive boyfriend was totally her own fault."

Either way, fuck you, Day by Day.

Wow, Dry Bones! My dad was the subject of one of these in the eighties. I didn't realize it was still going.

Man, that is a really shitty cartoon. I realize it's nothing compared to the buffet of terrible here, but man, it still stood out.

It's stale but I wouldn't say "shitty". I mean it does raise a point.

Surely the GOP is finished pandering to the Tea Party!

Just like every NRA member ever: stands silently and looks bashful when you bad mouth their toys. Yup.

The worst he could come up with is nine dead. Lemme see if I can think of a worse gun related incident...
This is the worst false equivalence.


But think of all the negative space your comic would have if it weren't for fatties Toles!

Canada's really gotta stop stealing America's shit.



Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyup




Awesome

It takes a special kind of asshole to trivialize the GOP ignoring the Sandy Relief when you actually live in New York
(150 million of the 60 Billion Sandy Relief bill was for fishery disasters in Alaska and Mississippi)

WHICH EXPLAINS THE GOP'S EFFORTS TO KILL THE MIDDLE CLASS HI-OOOOOOOOOOH!
But seriously Muir: NO ONE ON EARTH TALKS LIKE THAT
Also they're at a store. Just sayin'

Huh. Missing a president or two there Ramirez eh? Hm?
And commenting on your cartoons is MY job Ramirez, back off.

And then stopped.
Also a marginal tax raise on people making more than 400,000 dollars a year=DEATH

I just saw that I clipped the end of his nose off IGNORE THAT

Haha!


Ha! Yes! YES!

I like this one. It mocks the Confederacy of Dunces current political discourse pretty well.

You can't leave us hanging, you know.

These are good comics.

I'll take a look, but I doubt I can find it. It's pre-indicic.

While I overall agree 100% with the message and theme of this comic, I would like to point out that for-profit trade-type schools that the comic mentions are tightly regulated by the government to ensure they aren't "preying" on their students. These types of schools are literally shut down by the government if they aren't following the litany of regulations set for them, including and especially % of graduating students who are hired out of externship. Also most of these schools, the total tuition/expenses bill typically numbers in the mid to low 5 figures, and that ain't shit compared to many post-graduate programs (or is at worst comparable with a far better guarantee-to-hire).

That panel should post the school logos of the real culprits: universities.

They only tightened up the for-profit regulations in like the last year, and they're still weak. Note "for-profit abusers" here really means "University of Phoenix and Kaplan."
