1) If the shoe fits…

2) It’s as if Wise said to himself “How do I draw a proper cartoon?” and made the exact opposite decision at every turn. Why is the man on the left missing his bottom half? If he’s supposed to be sitting down, why is his chair so much lower than the table? And what the hell is the man on the right wearing? Are those his pajama bottoms? Without any background it’s impossible to tell what part of the day it is, though I can guess it’s morning.

All Wise had to draw was two people, one sitting at a table, and he managed to fuck that up. Bravo, Wise. Bravo.

Did alternative energy kill Henry Payne’s mother or something? Was she hit by an electric car? Did a wind turbine fall on her house? I swear, at least half of Payne’s cartoons are about electric cars and/or alternative energy. Why is he so up in arms about this? Why is he making this the hill he wants to die on?

“You got a bad report card, so why don’t you go protest Wall Street.”

What?

What?

What the hell is going on in Dick Locher’s head? Somebody explain this to me, please.

And where’s defense? There are three major government expenditures, three things that make up the bulk of government spending, but conservatives always talk about just two (coincidentally, the two that are devoted to helping people instead of bombing them).

I’m not sure how useful it is to ask 300 million people who scan past your comic while trying to find Cul-de-Sac. Or, if they’re slow, Marmaduke.

Buh?

Chris Muir is Poe. There is no other explanation.

I’m not sure I want to live in a world where that isn’t true.

I’m not sure I can continue reading this strip.

He is accusing one of the two major political parties of using a terrorist to intimidate and possibly injure/kill people who “look into Obama’s past.” I would not be surprised if Muir was one of the people who thought Obama had Andrew Brietbart killed.

This is no longer funny. I’ve joked about the art, I’ve joked about Muir’s inability to tell a cohesive story. But this…? Either Chris Muir is putting on a giant act of satire, or he is beyond help.

I’m going to assume it’s the former, because that’s the only sane possibility, and just stop reading this strip. There’s no reason to critique satire.

Let’s see: taxes are down, spending is down, and the government is smaller under Obama than under Bush-. And Catalino is still shit.

Remember what I said about facts not changing people’s minds? Yeah. Here you go.

It’s as if Ramirez asked himself “How many trite slams can I include in one picture?” and he only stopped because his editor was able to wrest his pen from him.

agoodcartoon:

The conservative vote is a blunt instrument used for violence and forceful alteration, capable of flattening everything into conformity. And it’s in the hands of lumpy, inhuman monsters. A good cartoon.

Shouldn’t there be a comma in that dialogue? Or is Gay Marriage Obama a new action figure?

literallyunbelievable:

such an idiot

“It still doesn’t change my feelings.”

This is what I was talking about yesterday. People don’t change their minds in the light of new facts. They just double-down.

And remember, his vote counts just as much as yours.
