Political Cartoons Thread<------------Thread Title

I don't care about likes, I just wish there was a bit more conversation about them.

Thanks, I try to pick and choose. I leave out about a billion "fiscal cliff", or whatever the latest thing they're beating into the ground is, unless it's notable in some way.

Otterloop is curating political cartoons the way [insert something disgusting here, I'm totally unable to complete this parallel].

Tell me you didn't read that in Ratzenberger's voice


Why don't the people we demonize vote for us :*( ??

!! Is one of the McCoy's becoming a centrist?

heh

Kinda a stretch but still cute

Makes sense

If McCain is swatting at a dummy over losing in 2008, it ain't one of Susan Rice.

Ok, he clearly drew this cartoon about Rush Limbaugh and then changed his mind about the point he wanted to make.

I bet if we went back several months we'd find the same cartoon with Sandra Fluke's name on the dummy.

Nah, Carlson is pretty steadily boring but not lazy

I can't link the image on my tablet, but check out the WSJ trimming out the bush in the graphic.

You'll find a similar thing in all "Obama bad, look at chart!!" Neocon website, all the charts start with this mysterious huge dip in the first year that the lines slowly rise out of, as if the mere fact of electing Obama caused such a catastrophic crash (usually followed by a smug, "When Obama gets done blaming Bush ;)")

Sorry, I didn't want to clutter up the thread with discussion so we can enjoy the cartoons.
Bago, is there a version of that chart with the Bush (heheh) untrimmed?

But Bush jr DOES get a mention:

Yup. Smoooooth sailing up until then. He'd have gone down in history as one of the greats if it weren't for that pesky unexplained weird undefinable non-judgmental "panic".

Bush Sr. was about half Clinton's.

You gotta' read some of the comments from the WSJ article.......a few people brought up the missing Bush..
"bbbbbbut Democratic Congress.....all their fault...."

That and "Clinton's recession!!"



I SERIOUSLY doubt any of those "tax hikes" will effect you Beeler (backsliding)
And, frankly, after 4 years of "Nononononono" Obama won a decisive victory in every manner, I think, with more than half the country behind him, he's got the right to fuck Republicans. Not that he will :(


"Iknowwhatthey'reREALLYplanning.jpg"

It's fitting that the GOP stand in promising to raise taxes is represented by ONE FUCKING PERSON.

God, alright, I'll see the fucking movie. Shut the fuck up.


REMEMBER WHEN OBAMA ATE DOG!!??? That's such a great thing to bring up and won so many points DURING THE LAST FUCKING ELECTION SO I CAN SEE WHY THEY KEEP BRING IT UP.

This. Over and over. This. Just...please stop. Don't political cartoonists ever read any other cartoonist? 'Cause if so they would have noticed seven hundred preceding cartoons making the same point the same way.

WHAT???

Not enough apologies.

Ever.

What "requirements" is Palestine failing to meet Guy Whose Name I can't Be Assed To Actually Look Up?


Mmmmhmm mmmhhmmm...WHAT???



I LOVE how "Bhengazigate" (Do Republicans still use that term because they're still butt hurt or do they just not get the irony?) has been downgraded from "OMGG Obama totally watched some dudes die and laughed the whole time" to "OMG this one woman said it was a thing but was wrong!!" with the EXACT SAME urgency.


I almost made my first post on SA just to say those turtles are adorable :3

Ramirez finally reached the next stage of grief after "tears, delicious delicious tears": gibberish.

But... she's quoting a dude, who presumably DID say that. Wat.

Don't criticize: he's doing his part in the war against the Drow.

I like the statement that Men can never get away with saying they're in a relationship because the sex is good.

Because that NEVER FUCKING HAPPENS, rite guys?!

Seriously, is all of MRA just bitching that Women can sort of say the things Men can now?

I interpreted that comic as the sex was blah but the cooking was good. I like me a man that can cook well.

Also I really really like Payne's art style, why does the content have to be so awful?

Who the fuck has ever said that they're in a McDonald's relationship because everything else is average but they keep coming back for the fries, male or female? Not only have I never heard that expression, searching for it on google just brings up a bunch of articles about how McDonald's might be introducing curly fries, which I guess are threesomes in this scenario. So this is something that the author of Mallard Fillmore made up out of whole cloth apropos of nothing at all so that he could then complain about it. Terrible even by his unbelievably low standards. Drop this idiot from your comics page, newspapers.

No she's quoting her sister.

Of course the comic is written by a man...

Edit: and she's apparently reading a letter written by her sister? Or she's, like, a newscaster and giving a report on her sister? I don't get that part.

:D You're a treasure.

Wouldn't that involve the pronoun "I" instead of "she" then? And "going" instead of "coming"?

I'm probably thinking too hard about this. Ugh.

I think Tinsley just has no idea how to use quotation marks, as it reads you're absolutely right.
Congrats on putting one hundred percent more thought into the comic than Tinsley himself did. GOTCHA!

He's so HAPPY awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. <3 <3 <3

So we can be sure the room he's walking into contains no Day by Day

It's actually a conversation about a lesbian couple and how the patriarchal society won't allow a guy to self-consciously admit that he is being used for sex in his shallow relationship. A good comic.

Outdated, but great.

I can't tell in black and white, silly. In color the gay one would have rainbow stripes on their flag, duh.

The black mouthpiece dongs strip is the most sense I've seen out of Day By Day yet. And it still has a conservative message! NO DONG TAXES!

And fucking Allie's tears start flowing! Cry for me you partisan fucker, cry till your eyes bleed.


That's what you get for not using reindeer Barack Oclaus!

Looks like the clock is still broken but I looked at it at the right time!

Yes. Strangling a person is just like shooting a gun. Just as easy, just as fast, just as potentially random. No difference whatsoever. You willfully dense sack of stupid.


Purple.
Lips.

Yeah! The GOP has been so accommodating and spoiled ol' Obama still says it isn't enough! You wanna list any of those gifts? No? Cool. We'll just assume they exist.



Ummmmm...anyone have the statistics on deaths due to marijuana by year? Oh nevermind, I found my level so I can make an accurate line graph myself.

Huh. Seems to have left out "obstructionist". Wonder why.


The Republican's just lost the fucking national argument why the fuck should he compromise (he is of course, fuck you for that Obama) but Christ what a stupid fucking cartoon. It's so unseemly for political parties that get elected to do what they said they were going to do. Is there anything worse than "I know what they REALLY mean" arguments?

So is this a regularly shitty toonist being right by accident? Cuz, yeah, it seems to blow a hole in the "Obama won with gifts."

This is the fucking worst. What is with the purple lips on every fucking one of that kind of caricature? I do not understand why.

This is the fucking dumbest. None of the adverse effects of marijuana use include something that will cancer you into a grave. How fucking out of it do you have to be to think that pot is literally "wacky tobaccy?" Most people I know who are serious marijuana users use it in forms that don't even irritate the lungs (vaporizers, edibles).

Oh yes, if it is a drug and is illegal, it has to be severely harmful otherwise it'd be legal. WTF is alcohol then (I hate to bang on this drum, but SERIOUSLY)?

He's trying to say that saying tobacco is harmful on one hand but wanting to legalize pot on the other is hypocritical, because you smoke both things. Which means that Brett is actually his ghostwriter.

O. J. Simpson is well-meaning, open-minded, and willing to compromise, but his words and actions have been misinterpreted by a hostile media. A bold stance and an interesting and provacative cartoon.

That's why we need labels!

Why is there a mouse? Is this Goodnight Moon?

It's because the media ratted him out and that's why he's in prison today.
