This one was printed in Dollars and Sense months ago… it’s already dated now, given the results of the elections earlier this month. (Click on the image to see a larger version.)

- Untitled May 6, 2024What I find curious about this thread is that the image he's critiquing is much, much more interesting than any of the images he brings up as examples of good images. The "Lois and Clark" images in particular are blandness personified. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Hey, as an aside – any one here up for a discussion of Distributism?
I love the fifth panel. If you had just that image on a teeshirt I would so buy it. Maybe with a caption of “booga booga”
I like the fifth panel too. I think Amp should do a big version of it on its own, and then we can have a caption competition.
So great! I think the only thing you forgot was terrorist threat… The fifth panel is very fun.
I would be very interested in reading the Republican critique of minimum wage laws that involves casual abortion, Darwin, gay marriage, and/or the boogeyman. Got a link?
(Slaps forehead.) D’oh!
I’m not sure if adding terroristism would have weakened or strengthened the point. With the 3 issues Amp included, I had originally assumed he was making a specific reference to how Republicans use the culture wars to scare Christians into voting against the poor. Adding terrorism, a real threat many of us non-Christians are scared of, would broaden the point to the more general way Republicans use fear to distract people from ecconomic realities. I suppose whether it would have weakened or strengthed the point depends on which of those points you were trying to make.
By the way, is Hereville still going on, and will it ever be published in a way that will let me just sit down and read the story?
Decnavda, good point about terrorism. And I’m not sure about Hereville’s future, but if I do post more pages, I’ll announce it on “Alas.”
Robert, I think you failed your “perceive metaphor” roll. Would you like to try again? I have a +2 “glasses of comprehending cartoons” you could borrow, if you’d like.
I get the metaphor. It just seems an odd issue to use it on, since the minimum wage is one of those areas where the Republicans seem to mostly refrain from using harsh arguments (“Why do you racists want to impoverish poor black teenagers, Amp? WHY CAN’T YOU STOP THE HATE?”) in favor of more MEGOish stuff.
Bad Cartoonist. No Tofu.
since the minimum wage is one of those areas where the Republicans seem to mostly refrain from using harsh arguments
They usually present it as “Why do you hate big corporations, and therefore, America?”
Nicely done. I’d like the +2 Glasses of Comprehending Cartoons. I need +2 Glasses of Reading.
