Political Cartoons 2013: Click Here To Hate Yourself

    You're right, I just realised that "really" and "truth" are both red so that the answer is explicit. Nothing like assuming your readers are incapable of using critical thought to decide between the answers "A" and "B".

    In the style of A Good Cartoon, however: Ramirez is a genius. He presents a trick question ("both" being the right answer) while incorporating layers of irony. A and B are causally connected, given that those who choose B cause A through inaction on climate change as well as making B self-fulfilling. In his parody of denial idiocy he masterfully exposes the self-destructive irony at the heart of climate denial. A good cartoon.

    You're just posting that now because I called you out on missing it in the gun control thread. Too little, too late, pal.

    It's supposed to be a tentacle. Those are suckers, not eyes. Also, incredibly shitty art.

    Not supporting everything and anything Israel does=KKK. Good to know. This certainly proves there isn't a pro-Israel lobby that bullies people.

    Tentacles don't have teeth or randomly scattered suckers on the back of the end of them, but since it doesn't look like a snake either ok maybe. So if that's the case the tentacle represents America's enemies and is attached to a squid (not pictured) which represents...

    What the hell? How did he manage to trace a picture of someone with a normal human anatomy and have it line up exactly with the original except to transmute a boob into bizarro Day By Day anatomy? Literally the only change he made was to give her an insane space boob.

    HOW DO ILLEGALS GET "GENEROUS" WELFARE ASAY? YOU WANT TO DETAIL THE PROCESS??
    ALSO SINCE YOU LOVE QUOTING THE BIBLE WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT HOW YOU SHOULD ACT TOWARDS THE LESS FORTUNATE??

    If I ever meet Asay someone will have to pull me off him.
  23. tmp Keeper of the Elemental Materials

    He left the shadows on one side but removed them from the other. Made them into some sort of escherboobs that way -- the lighting changes across the picture in a way your brain doesn't expect, and things don't line up in the way they should.

    Pretty much any argument that tries to make the connection between moral failings and unemployment can be safely ignored. They are, at best, irrelevant.

    The guy on the left found a job because he lives with 3 roommates and doesn't mind delivering pizza as a career and not having health insurance. The guy on the right, with his college degree, wife and kids, is collecting unemployment and maxing out his credit cards while he continues to look for a job in his chosen field of study that will provide basic health care coverage for his family and a livable wage. A Good Cartoon.

    The guy on the left is a cool hipster and has connections.
    Dork on right is a nerd, nobody wants to hire a dweeb.

    Wat up with (FU) daybyday? Aside from the bad Kennedy joke, is he actually slamming his own?

    I think he's just slamming Karl Rove, whose fault it obviously is that Obama got reelected. Or something. Because people like Rove don't suck the base's collective cock hard enough? Or something?

    So, wait. The ultimate left-wing comic concludes on a note that when push comes to shove the only way to stop the evil people is a good guy with a gun?
