BILL DAY’S CREATIVE RANGE PART 12
Bill Day likes to focus on Bush’s deficits and is optimistic that Obama will help clean up the red ink. Unfortunately Obama seems to be a terrible janitor. Even after years, it looks like he barely cleaned any of it up at all!
That Xerox machine should get a Pulitzer.
BILL DAY’S CREATIVE RANGE PART 1
One of my favorite cartoonists is the consistently liberal Bill Day. His artistic ability and originality is unsurpassed by few cartoonists working today…like that mean ole Michael Ramirez…herp de derp. Check out Bill Day’s artistic and creative range! He can cover topics as varied as the GOP, the Tea Party, racism, planned parenthood, public broadcasting and Christine O’Donnell with ease.
I’d say this metaphor’s getting… strained.
Bob Gorrell uses this news desk set up several times- making minor changes to the anchorman and changing the News channel text.
so….much…wasted… space….
I think that’s the bigger crime, versus the copy-pasting. I mean, he’s got a whole yard of cartoon space, and he uses one sliver in the middle, shoves the monitors out as far as he can, and then runs the only actual content, the text, along the bottom.
The newsdude should be scooted over to the left or the right, and he should have a dialog bubble next to him to fill the other side.
COMPOSITION NERDERY
Asay won’t let go of the birth control issue… which the conservatives brought up.
What amuses me is that the “fairness” on Obama’s door is supposed to be a slam, I guess? Boo, fairness! Fine, sure, if fairness is dumb, then let’s ditch the damn Bill of Rights, get rid of the police, and then let everyone do whatever they want! Yay, freedom!
Sometimes I forget that “fairness” means “other people getting as much freedom as I do,” and that’s apparently really offensive to some people.
Matt Bors on the many Political Cartoon controvercies regarding racist and stereotypical portrayals in comics.

When Falls The Coliseum - 2/17/12Except you know, the mandate doesn’t say anyone HAS to get birth control, it’s just that health insurances have to cover it. So it’s “everyone who wants a puppy should be able to get one”.
At least it’s accurate in that both decisions are being made by dudes!
I hate this argument so much. You can just as easily change the captions to say “Hey god, what’s up with all the horrible politicians, serial killers, and rapists?” “Sorry, you should have aborted them.”

Also, why would God create true leaders and scientists that could cure cancer in particular situations if he knew they were going to be aborted?
Hey, god, WHY didn’t you send us better political cartoonists? What’s your problem GOD???

What is Mickey’s fiscal policy, anyway?
Mickey’s always wrestling with the Fat Cats who try to stamp out the little guy.

When Falls The Coliseum - 1/20/12It’s a bit too easy to pick on alex, but I woon’t let that stop me.
I mean come on. Lady tied to the train tracks, how cliché can you go? And why is there a mountie in the comic? And why are the speech bubbles arranged so that it’s not clear what order they’re supposed to be read?
Maybe this is a manga!
