He didn't even manage to do a good job making his point. The dad in the first picture is fat, sleazy, drinking and smoking. He looks like a stereotypical abusive father you'd see in a psa.
There’s a poster on I think 8chan called Q who posts literal gibberish. There’s a cult following of boomers who believe he’s an official in the White House dropping coded messages. It’s much crazier than it sounds. If you search for CBTS and Qanon on this sub you’ll find more
Yeah, it's not surprising at all. Prior to the election all his comics were conspiracy theory type shit; GMOS, vaccines, chem trails, fluoridation, Illuminati, etc.
Tangent... This older lady moved into a house down the street. She likes to go on walks. At first we noticed an orange cone in the driveway of her house. A month or so later the cone was gone but it had been replaced with a new landmark. She painted the word "house" on the side of the house in huge letters. You can easily see it from a half a block away.
TBH it helps non-americans to quickly identify what is what. If he didn't label half of the shit, I wouldn't have gotten it as much as I do now and I'm still pretty sure I'm missing a lot.
Nah, except for the Q thing which I think is new for him, this is pretty standard. The only thing that's missing is Obumma giving shekels to terr'rists.
i mean, like, compositionally. usually he either sticks to one or two main topics per comic or has some sort of clear structuring element to guide the eye, but here he's woven almost all of his batshit takes into a giant, chaotic tapestry of schizophrenia. it's like im staring directly into his fractured mind
I don't even see what the point is here. Did Ben forget that political cartoons are at least supposed to have some sort of statement or punchline? It just seems like he ejaculated everything he likes and doesn't like into an MC Escher drawing.
I don't get the obsession with the electoral map that some people have. It's like "Congratulations, you posted a population density map of the United States!" What is this supposed to prove? That empty useless land is more important that populated, producing, worthwhile land? inb4"lereasontrumpu-samawon"
I dunno, it doesn’t have much going for it. At least most stupid positions are at least part of a stupid ideology. That argument is isn’t even defending a position, it’s arguing semantics, and incorrectly at that.
"A republic not a democracy" is just some excuse that libertarianish conservatives give when they think they deserve power even when they can't win any votes. It's pretentious and annoying.
Pretty much never in history has any electoral system been biased towards the less powerful members of society, or biased towards urban areas and against rural areas. It's always towards the powerful and rural. At best the others get equality, and they have to fight tooth and nail for that because powerful and rural interests are always fighting too throw something in there that biases it towards them again.
I don't get the obsession with the electoral map that some people have.
When they've ghettoised themselves in a smaller and smaller "in-group" and the "out-group" is now bigger (actually it's been bigger since the 70's or so, just now not letting them be arseholes in peace) they lash out. The electoral map basically, to them, says "Real America" is them and in turn they are "Real America."
It's fucking stupid, but these are the same types that saw Archie Bunker unironically as the protagonist on All in the Family.

Is there anything more degenerate than an adult cartoonist? Political especially, everything fell off after Doonesbury and bill the cat.

Serious question: Did The Onion get the Statue of Liberty thing from Garrison, or did he steal it from them?
1 dagbrown 2018-05-15
Kelly is a parody of Garrison.
1 preserved_fish 2018-05-15
The typo in "Father's now" is brilliant. Kelly is a national treasure.

That's the point. It's The Onion
1 VidiotGamer 2018-05-15
This is a bad parody because it's true.
1 KittehDragoon 2018-05-15
Don't you dare compare that genius to Garrison.
1 snallygaster 2018-05-15
Does Kelly directly parody Garrison, or just people like him in general?
1 CaptainMemer 2018-05-15
He’s been doing his thing for much longer than Garrison has been well-known.

It's a law for everyone that makes political comics

Ben is particularly bad about it.

the only subtle thing about ben garry is the raging boner he tucks away while drawing these

If you don't beat readers over the head with labels how will you be sure that they get your hot takes?
1 ____________13 2018-05-15
He's targeting the niche demographic of people who know of MC Escher's art, but also need a 'WAR' label on the tank for the symbolism to register.
1 Istartedthewar 2018-05-15
Ah yes Mc Eschers staircase is extremely niche, hardly anyone has heard of it
1 ____________13 2018-05-15
Yes, it does sound stupid if you just ignore the second half of the sentence.
1 wwyzzerdd 2018-05-15
Maybe he just wanted to make sure nobody confused it with the Chinese Tanks of Peace.

1 satanismyhomeboy 2018-05-15
I think he just wanted to draw Escher's Relativity, and threw his usual nonsense in there because he can't help himself
1 old_grumpy_grandpa 2018-05-15
Maybe he wanted to say that american politics is an inextricable clusterfuck, but odds are he's simply retarded.
