Political Cartoons 2013: Click Here To Hate Yourself

I just wanted to take this, the 1000th post in this thread to say, I do not hate myself when I click here. I have everyone else.

Oh fuck me, that's what I get for reading the word's "999 Replies" and getting excited.

*squints* Oh, you're right. That is another woman's head. I thought that was something one of the men was holding, like a really badly drawn beer mug or something.

Apparently this is a local/regional cartoonist guy named BARKSDALE which I point out because BARKSDALE sounds like a Sunday comics strip about a town populated by anthropomorphic dogs.

Anyway he sucks:




Haw haw haw fuck you





PURGE DALEY NOOOOOOOOOO

Oh who am I kidding Governor Otter is so :3 I love him (he has a combover)

Garsh


Anyway Barskdale eats lead paint chips exhibit A:



Nope, no clue.

BARKSDALE

1) Aww, Governor Otter.
2) RARGH Comic Sans even looks awful when used for its intended purpose!
3) Wtf is the tent comic?

Nevermind just noticed it was a BSA thing.

Side note: A lot of people think GSA stands for Girl Scouts of America. Freaking out the parents of incoming freshman at my high school during the club day and registration/yearbook photo thing was something I got a lot of glee from.

Its intended purpose is to help your mom use a computer in 1995.

Also, is the governor of Idaho really an otter? If so: cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute.

This country needs more otter governors, if you ask me.

Here's an amazing true fact about otters: they hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift away from each other. RIGHT?

Otters: right on adorable snuggly hand-holding, right for America.

THAT IS THE BEST THING OMGOMGOMG

YOU WANT THE FEELS?
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE FEELS!

OMGOMGOMG

Told you

I honestly can't get mad at Tinsley because you just know he thinks this is some cutting edge biting satire that really fucking gets to the Liberal elite. It's like watching a bushman shooting arrows at a helicopter

Honestly this is pretty awful. They are both different men with different goals. You honestly can't compare them just because they're both black

Without the words this would have made NO sense.
Also with the words this makes no sense.

Two possible interpretations: A Obama is saying Republican things while Rubio drinks water like a ventriloquist. If that's the case there aren't enough what the fucks on Earth
B: the things Obama is saying are supposed to be bad thing and he's trying to distract us with that time Rubio calmly took a drink of water and everyone made a big deal out of it.
Honestly I have no idea.

You have the same opinions as babies, but the really smart babies! (who are...still wrong)

Lookit the little hat!




FUCK. Asay's still alive.

FUCK YOU

Proverbs 6:16-19

FUCK YOU

FUCK.
YOU.

Asay implies that Obama was personally responsible for Benghazi. You know how you never see Obama and Osama Bin Laden in the same room???

...
...
...
...
Boo Free Market, yay naked man wrestling.

Yup. Keep on calling the majority of the country uninformed. I can't see how that could possibly backfire.
(PS: I knew Obama's economic plan, unlike you, and I voted for him you sad fat old sack of shit, explain that.)

If this cartoon didn't say "Ramirez" in the corner I'd say that this interpretation was right and that it was an ok cartoon criticizing Obama for being too conservative. As it is I have no idea.

Hey stupid: you know those labels that you put on everything? This is what they're actually for. The point of labels is to let you draw a picture of one thing and have it stand in for something else, making the point you want to make by way of the contrast between the image and the text. In other words, you draw a picture of the castle and the serfs, and the "Washington Bureaucrats" label goes on the castle and the "Uninformed Voters" label goes on the serfs, and then you don't draw the second half of this motherfucking stupid cartoon, because your point will have already been made. And even that cartoon would be a lowest common denominator hack job, but it would at least be the work of someone who understood what a political cartoon even was. As it is, you've drawn two pictures, labeled what is literally happening in each of them, and since that doesn't serve any purpose at all you slapped those stupid "USETA BE..." and "BUT NOWWW..." captions on them. You could have made this better by just writing a short paragraph about the point you're trying to make, because these pictures add nothing. This isn't a political cartoon. I don't know what this is, besides embarrassing.

I just-- on what fucking planet is this an argument for the conservatives? Damn those democrats, sorry, "progressives", what with their "real problems" and "campaigning"!

And the dumb bleeding heart LIEbruls are white, while the wise and knowing Conservatives are black. Just like in real life.

Just putting a preemptive "Fuck you, Day by Day" here. THANKS.

Asay really is super awful. I do enjoy the thought that naked man wrestling is his favorite sport, though.

I thought we still had naked man wrestling. Except now we call it sumo and they wear mawashi to cover the genitals.

It's still mostly naked man wrestling...

Dammit Europe you're just jealous.

I hesitate to say this, but if Asay had put dressage or modern pentathlon in the second panel of his Olympics cartoon, I'd agree with him because those aren't sports. I could even grudgingly go along with him if he'd put synchronized swimming or rhythm gymnastics or beach volleyball, because while those are definitely sports, they don't seem very Olympicy to me. But only assholes pick on badminton.

So, in conclusion, thank you Asay for not making a point I might have agreed with.

I'd have agreed with this post if you had had a different point

Nothing is more of a sport than modern pentathlon.

Well, they could at least update it to include remote control airplane piloting.

Why are contemporary "uninformed voters" using twelfth century farming technology?

They are uninformed

I was gonna slam this cartoon for, you know, HAHAHAHA HOMESCHOOLING, but it accurately depicts the non-homeschooled kids shooting the shit and doing stuff while the obviously ostracized (likely self-imposed) child sits glued to her laptop like a future internet spergling, utterly missing the other upside of pre-school the ability to free up time for parents to work. A Good Comic.

I like the homeschooled kid's MOM <3 ME sweatshirt, as if parents who send their children to school somehow ... don't. Damn you Mom, you didn't really love me! Shit, she doubly didn't love me, I think, she was a teacher! Instead of teaching me at home, like God intended, she taught other children noooooooooooo.

A team of Democrats enters an inner-city neighborhood and immediately starts cataloging social problems that they might be able to do something about if only the poor and uneducated can be empowered and shown how to participate in the democratic process. A team of Republicans enters an inner-city neighborhood, and of course can't get past their obsession with a centuries-old compendium of ripped-off mythology long enough to do anything other than try to shame the inhabitants into voting against their interests. A Good Cartoon.

... eh, isn't the "olympic games market" pretty much cornered by a single committee doing as they see fit? Boo Monopoly would be more like it if you must mock it, except you may then have a second thought that hey, maybe it's actually not entirely wrong reaction after all.

Well, badminton attracts more money and sponsors than wrestling so, according to the Free Market system, the committee is obligated to cut the less profitable. To argue with the decision is to hate the entire concept of Capitalism.

You don't hate Capitalism do you comrade?

The right thing to do is start a competing Olympics with wrestling and pure strain gold medals with Ron Paul on them.

I think dropping wrestling was a shrewd political move to try and promote world peace. Trying to reverse it is about the only thing that can bring the Russians, Americans and Iranians into co-operation and talks. Move over "ping pong" diplomacy "sweaty unitard" diplomacy is here!

Plus Badminton is the only thing Indonesia is competitive in...

Holy fucking hell. How crazy would you have to be to think somebody would see that cartoon and go 'yay republicans!'

Also if homeschooling is so great how come the homeschooled kid never learned how to have a mouth?

On the other hand, it might be disturbing that the boys have mouths and the girl does not. What is he trying to say about schooling? I don't know!

A properly educated girl knows her place, which is to listen to the boys and not speak.

On the other hand, she's speaking, so I got nothing.

She's speaking without a mouth! Homeschooling gives you super powers!!
