They’re, like, deep! and stuff.

Proletariat? Should it not be ‘proletarian’?

wow,

really going for that dolchstosslegende, ain’t they?

nothing better than a bit of projection

and we have a theme going:

tho, in that guy’s defense, he did do these:

I didn’t realize Marlette was that much of a dick, but I like that last one.

also, this is what we call impeccable sourcing:

The Washington Times and a batshit rightwinger blog site.

dammit.

check the mallard fillmore strips for July 3rd and July 4th here:

http://www.kingfeatures.com/features/comics/mallard/about.htm

maybe this will work:

guess not. fuck.

still, Mallard tries to explain why public education is bad

i really like the way that cox and forkum guy draws. it’s a shame he’s such a fucking loony nutcase.

okay, now it’s too easy:

http://www.townhall.com/Funnies/

and for contrast:

that profiling one is fucking jaw-dropping.

I don’t get the tequila one. Is that Pee Wee Herman on the right? And what’s Saddam doing with the chains and stuff?

I agree with mickey though—great drawings from c & f—but wow...

I thought the woman was saying “I think we’re being Poxy Fuled.”

Saddam? Mel Gibson!

(xpost)

Ah...I see...I think...thanks

It’s still not funny, just like all the other cartoons here (aren’t cartoons supposed to be funny instead of frustratingly brainwashy?), but anyway.

crack crack crack crack

the funniest thing about Cox & Forkum is that it kinda looks like “Cox & Porkum”

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Excellent.

ahaahahahahaha these crazy iranian guys just kill me, or they would if they could get their hands on my hebrew hide :(

ihttp://www.irfp.ir/images/articlelarge/Holocaust_khabir_1b.jpg

good thing they put “foreign” on there...

wow, even Dubya’s getting the harsh caricature from these guys now

take what you will from this one:

yes, b/c Robert Byrd was ultimately responsible for that

can’t stop myself:

you see what he did there? the joke wouldn’t have worked with just a turkey with “Iraq” on it, oh no, it’s only by adding the towel on its head that it really drives the hard-hitting humor home.

I would say the bullet should be captioned “Syrian voting machine,” but assassinating politicians in other countries doesn’t make a good joke on “voting.” (Is there an amusing Israeli euphemism for it?)

those “day by day” cartoons are SO WIERD. who the f draws them? there’s some kind of strange reverse ainsley hayes sex fantasy going on there: a tcs/nro-repeating chick with a sweet can, goth hair, and one token liberal (also hot if messy) friend? oh and her sunglass/goatee fiance and sunglass/bald black gop pals.

more red, red robblin’ from Scott Stantis!

oh yeah, and here’s some background on the Day by Day guy

jeez. check the ones from today if you want to see a helluva sea-change in sentiment.

mocking the president, secuirty regulations, etc. they’re positively treasonous compared to how they sounded about 1 year ago.

Day By Day is way too asstacular.

These are my favorite threads BTW.

What. The fuck. Is with. The teddy bear. ?????????

oh man:

The worst part isn’t just that it’s unfunny and drawn in a way that makes my eyes want to throw up, but that it’s more than a week out of date.

start here w/ Day by Day and go on. What a great comic: every day, a hot chick with a sweet bod doing a glamour pose, and talking points, too!

and remember, all imams carry sidearms.

Gah, some of these “cartoonists” suck at drawing, i.e. that Moveon.org Stayskal one.

That Asay one has type way too tiny to read, esp. the guys labels. I do like that the labels are on absurd little sandwich boards and not drawn directly onto their bellies as per.

I don’t get the “Faithmouse” one... What’s happening there?

I think its the ‘MSM’ stirring up the radical islamist cats to go after pope dennis hopper I

Yeah, but why are they attacking the “imam” as well? And why is he with the pope?

I thing the imam is is more shocked than being attacked. I like the fighting cardinal.

day by day/chris muir... so awful. really trying to pimp out the “COOL REPUBLICANZ” ideal that nobody buys.

did you hear that the pope visited turkey, recently, tuomas?

always fun: when the thing and parodies of the thing become indistinguishable

i love those onion cartoons

‘Mallard Fillmore’ creator = drunky-drunk

oh man, i had forgotten about State of the Union.

an old fave:

T/S: Umbert the Unborn vs Faithmouse’s Neverborn

figure this one out:

What the fuck is the deal with the Harris one upthread? I thought right wing nuts liked her?

I thought kingfish was just posting, like, specific “highlights” from that DBD shit, I did not realize the entire run of the cartoon is basically soft porn with people saying incredibly awkward george will shit

jesus christ

I mean this is like a perfect illustration of the point where it becomes confusing to differentiate between Dada and schizoid

seriously! dude’s gotta have the same two facets in every single day’s strip! “My audience is here for what I’m good at, so I’ll give it to ’em.”

Oddly enough, the strip reminds me most of Liberty Meadows, only the talking animals are far more realistic and Frank Cho affords his cheesecake character(s) far more dignity by not having to flash asscrack every other frame.

It is the most bonkers strip ever, check the ones from early in the year about punching hillary

http://www.daybydaycartoon.com/2006/01/09 and on, and it’s punching Bill not Hillary.

I don’t get 85% of these comics.

there’s nothing to get, unless you live inside these people’s fucked-up magical worlds

The only one that makes any sense is that one that someone put Carlos Mencia in.

Now THAT is funny.

So does dude beat off to these things once he’s drawn them?? Is that the point?

LOL...SCIENCE

ONLY AND IDIOT WOULD BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING WHEN CLEARYL ITS SNOWING OUTSIDE!!!!!!!!!

mallard fillmore is really poorly drawn

Thank God he both puts the guy in a hood _and_ has him spell it out. i would never have known otherwise.

but Iran did host a holocaust denial conference! And David Duke was there! WHERE’S DA FUNNY?

Is there supposed to be a joke somewhere in that comic?

(x-post)

It’s like some 30’s cartoonist would’ve been like, “HA HA, STALIN AND HITLER MADE A PACT!”.

But were there student protesters?

Apparently the jokie is Ahmadinejad = stinky

I also like the implication that the leader of Iran just let some dude in a hood into his office and then asked him later who he was

i agree with this one.

EGGNOG LOL.

Nice timing there.

certainly no one has hated america quite as deeply as President Carter.

Mamet is about the worst cartoonist i’ve ever seen. I’ve done telephone doodling more complex than this.

???

I think Mamet is going for some bizarre fusion of Toothpaste for Dinner w/political comix.

i kinda agree with this one, but i’m more interested in the shoe choices:

I get the “all-star” gag, but Obama strikes me as more of a New Balance/Adidas guy.

And look; Hillary’s got girlie shoes! All girls gotsta have obviously gendered footwear! Just like in the WNBA!

Who wears tan socks?

Hillary’s got some fat ankles!

haha cankle

xpost!!

Barack has a butt calf

I thought he was into heart attacks, not strokes.

i like it how the day by day dude never draws bush, cheney, or any of his other idols. it’s almost like it’d be blasphemy in his worldview.

he’s just copying Doonesbury it that regard.

what happens when he attempts caricature:

Was he supposed to look like Martian Manhunter? Is that part of the joke?

i almost never understand the “punchline” of day by day cartoons. it’s not just that i don’t think it’s funny, but i really can’t figure out most of the time what it’s even supposed to mean. that dude really lives in a different world than i do.

yeah, that’s part of the thing. i’m a little obsessed with the strip, just for the all bifurcated effort the guy puts into it.

It’s amazing that he seems to put the same energy and emphasis on his twin focal points of hot chicks and bizarro-world talking points, leading to the schizoid/dadaist results that Tombot noted upthread. Both areas have the same amount of projections and fantastical characters so unconnected in any way with any verifiable reality,

Second alcohol-related arrest in four months for ‘Mallard Fillmore’ creator

I realize that everyone who reads BoingBoing or Wonkette is already aware of this NRA pamphlet, but it still seems wrong to let it go unrecorded here:

http://www.boingboing.net/2006/12/24/fearmongering_graphi.html

i still don’t believe that’s real.

omg watch out she’s got STUBBLE AND GASOLINE

the little owl carrying the dynamite has me dying

o rly?

I’m disappointed that the animals aren’t wearing birkenstocks as well. Look out! Belly-button piercings coming to blow up your shit!

does the girl have a k records tattoo?

C/Z

lobster with angry eyebrows!

Oh my gasoline girl looks like meee +tats ‘cept I don’t wear Birks and I have a perpetual five-month preggo belly of which I am quite fond. My leggy hair is also a little more. Or a lot more.

Aw, I have no bellybutton peircing either. I thought that was just bad shading via the inker.

Continuing...

kingfish is a walter williams street teamer and i claim my US$1

Walter Williams

Pretty much a 70-year-old black version of John Stossel. Writes stuff like

At least two-thirds of the federal budget represents forcing one American to serve the purposes of another. Younger workers are forced to pay for the prescriptions of older Americans; people who are not farmers are forced to serve those who are; nonpoor people are forced to serve poor people; and the general public is forced to serve corporations, college students and other special interests who have the ear of Congress.

yadda yadda yadda

I don’t understand the Jimmy Carter Klan one in the slightest, maybe because I am an Englander.

jimmy carter hates black people. what else do you need to know?

John Edwards(Dem candidate for Prez) hired a coupla bloggers who Bill Donahue(conservative bloviator) didn’t like, so he publicly attacked them. Like with everything else, it was so much bullshit.

Apparently, it dovetails in the cartoonist’s mind with the whole “jimmy carter is anti-semitic!!111” thing.

xp that too

Uhm, if democrats are the jew-like dolchstoss/backstabbers here, why would they need a plank?

and just so’s we keep this thread current:

hahahahaha

What the fuck?

i didn’t know that jon lovitz made “an inconvenient truth”

Is he saying in the first cartoon that we should kill all the Iraqis?

“the onion”

I like the way Mr Football Man is actually leaving DEAD BLOODY BODIES IN HIS PATH

and has been said b4, recurring statue of liberty is awesome

These guys really don’t know what “appeaser” means, do they?

yay for grungey drummers in 2007

i like this one, reminds me of Bloom County:

what with all the repeatedly-hitting-over-the-head bits (e.g. Basselope gap, Marxists on our south gate, etc)

Why is there an unplugged amp?

they’re so blinded by their irrational bush-hate, y’see

ha HA! See what he did there! Those traitrous dixie chicks should keep their lyin’ mouths SHUT!

ha ha! obama said something wrong that he immediately corrected!

...

the pain the artist felt in trying not to make obama look offensively black is evident in every line.

and ends up being a caricature of no living person.

this is what obama looks like:

for comparison’s sake

and anyway, don’t most people understand what obama meant? of course a life lost in a useless war fought for the wrong reasons is a wasted life. what’s with the contention that any life lost in an american war is not wasted? it is possible, ya know. it’s just an extension of the contention that you can’t criticize the government, because you’re forgetting one thing: 9/11. i guess this is where sheehan comes in.

</duhfuckingduh>

This kind of shit makes me feel pretty good. Conservatives are pretty down on all of their potential candidates.

ARGH

So his political platforms are in favor of cervical cancer and the return of the stockades

enh, the comic just can’t be pictures, it needs to have word balloons, and i guess we’ll need some words in there. just put anything.

sorry. i snapped.

to be fair i dont think any character in day by day says ‘gunna’

Eh, Obama’s features are all east African, and he’s biracial, so the stuff about his face that you’d exaggerate and caricature is way more about how he specifically looks than any racial type.

Haha every fourth year or so I feel some slight sympathy for cartoonists who have to hold back from caricaturing non-white features for fear of being offensive, but then it’s like, hell, sorry, Americans have spent all their capital in terms of caricaturing non-white people — people had their shot and had a good run of it, time’s up!

One thing I would be incredibly curious to see is old equivalent renderings of Europeans from an early colonial period, like caricatured representations of the freaky pale people with the boats. Something of this has surely been preserved somewhere.

KINDA LIKE SOME OF YOUR POSTS sorry. i snapped.

gosh have I been zinged

Many Jewish groups were shocked by the publication in 2003 by the British newspaper The Independent of a cartoon depicting Ariel Sharon eating a baby.[6] The Israeli government complained to the Press Complaints Commission that the cartoon alluded to the blood libel of Jews eating the children of Christians; Dave Brown, the author, responded that the cartoon was in fact inspired by Francisco de Goya’s painting Saturn Devouring his Son[7] and was not anti-Semitic in intent. The PCC accepted Brown’s argument, stating “There is nothing inherently anti-semitic about the Goya image or about the myth of Saturn devouring his children, which has been used previously to satirise other politicians accused of sacrificing their own ‘children’ for political purposes”.[8] The cartoon ultimately earned Brown the British Political Cartoon Society’s Political Cartoon of the Year award.

gosh have I been zinged

a very low-wattage one, if that.

UM

is this Condi or Opus wearing a Marilyn Quayle wig again?

I actually snickered at this one

OH NOES DOLCHSTOSS AGAIN!

and again

I love conservative math:

Manipulating intelligence/distorting facts/lying to send troops off to an unnecessary war and then mismanaging it with incompetence that has cost thousands of lives = supporting the troops

Trying to figure out how to end the war and bring the troops home = treason

you forgot the part where you cut all of the benefits for the troops once they get back. and put the most damaged ones in shitty, roach-infested hellhole facilities to keep them out of the public eye.

watchword for the conservatives this week: SLOW BLEED. democrats want the troops to SLOWly BLEED to death!!!!!!!!

wow, this Asay guy is almost as consistently entertaining as “day by day”:

lolol gore is fat lolol

lololol stupid rightwingers, don’t they know that a nuclear explosion blanket the R/F spectrum and kill any news broadcast?

would blanket, rather

???

lololol stupid rightwingers, don’t they know that a nuclear explosion blanket the R/F spectrum and kill any news broadcast?

I thought EMP was only useful if the exposion was high in the atmosphere?

if you wanted to knock out an entire region perhaps, but it’s pretty safe to say that it’d kill anything in the same city.

Beyond a certain altitude a nuclear weapon will not produce any EMP, as the gamma rays will have had sufficient distance to disperse.

wikipedia

if it’s high enough, yeah.

the cartoon has a suitcase going up, which would be street level.

it has to be VERY high. Like below airplanes

i’m disappointed that the brain-sacrficing stick isn’t plainly labelled the “brain-sacrificing stick”

uhm....zing?

in the sacrifice cartoon, what does it mean that the mom is wearing punk clothes and the dad is wearing a suit?

LIEBERALS is what its means

T/S: heart-covered boxers: tired & unfunny “comedy” meme or still potent?

some of these are ok

which ones?

I saw a cartoon featuring Hillary with a shaved head. It’s going to be a long spring.

yeah, there were like three head-shaving-related in the last two days at townhall alone. hooooo boy.

hey, how did you display more than 2 images in a post? I thought they were capped on this board.
