Happy Thanksgiving

Friday The 13th

Its not friday and its not the 13th but may as well be because with Sarah “Jason” Palin, everyday is Friday the 13th…

Oh, and the American flag in the lapel thingy… what? Just “don’t leave home without it”? If you’re in the business of fear mongering and like “Jason Voorhees” (Friday the 13th, but in politics) terrorizing people or “Palin-out” consternating your country, just don’t forget to wear an American flag in your lapel. Oh and don’t worry if that’s not big enough to cover the offense. Just “misuse” a BIG American flag as a backdrop. The bigger the flag, the bigger the offense you can get away with…seriously.

This cartoon was about the election massacres in the Republican Party with the measuring up to the tea-baggers standards of purity…but this flag thing kind of tips the scale on the bigger picture. I’m for one sick of it…it feels like the “thou shall not take the Name of thy God in vain” thing. Honestly, it’s too much and in an honest and serious way it’s offensive to the depth and dignity of the idea of our country… and actually a very dangerous road to travel. Is Sarah Palin’s idea of what defines an American is now going to be the standard? She actually goes at it in her book…saying something to the extent that “everyone in America” should wear one…now that’s a much scarier idea than Friday the 13th, isn’t it?

Besides I don’t know about you but I keep thinking of her as a Canadian…it does not make any sense (wishful thinking perhaps) and I know my geography but I fancy to think that Alaska is more Canada than it is USA. No offense to anyone, Canadian or Alaskan (just kidding of course)…maybe it’s just too cold up there to think straight.

Going Rogue With Sarah (cavewoman)

Well, there’s not much of an editorial comment necessary on this one is there? Again the stuff just writes itself… reality continues to be funnier than fiction.

Bowing? Who's Bowing?!

Just in case you may have missed on the AP news picture that propped the cartoon, the real picture shows the president actually bowing to the emperor of Japan as proper diplomatic protocol will indicate. And as usual of course all the “usual suspects” jumped at the opportunity to call into question “again” the president’s and our country’s “standing” in the world (which always begs the question of compared to what?). Personally I would agree that bowing to an emperor of a long forgotten era (and never mind the history) seems out of place and straight out silly but then again, I’m not in charge of anything so I trust that our president -along with the previous ones- know better in these matters.

I saw the graphic joke straight away. In reality, our president happens to be a pretty tall guy and the emperor quite tiny… so I slightly changed the camera angle, lifted the presidents head just a little and put his left hand on top of the head of the emperor… and just started laughing. I would like to make clear however that even though as a cartoonist I would consider myself and “equal opportunity offender” (if it’s funny it goes) that there’s no intent to make fun of the Japanese as a people but most definitely no apologies in making fun of the emperor… (and what a yoga bow that was I may add… as per how straight the president’s legs are and how low he had to go below the emperor’s head).

Bootcamp

The Cuckoo's Klan

Okay, can someone please explain this one to me? Murdoch is an Australian, right?…Australia is a foreign country, right? (yes i’m going slow not to lose those among us who are geographically challenged)…so that makes him a foreigner, an “alien” if you may…right? So seriously, what’s the deal with foreign entities interfering with the internal affairs of a country? Is that legal? never mind ethical…I mean can anyone possibly interfere and cross the line in a more blunt and egregious way in the political process of our country? What he’s not Chinese (communist) so that’s okay. And where’s the exaggeration? I’m confused…

Bank Robbers

Yeah, like who do you call…the police or your senator? Funny that no one has a sense of shame anymore. In the old days “bank robbers” will mask their faces to cover their identity but now all you need is an army of good lobbyists and you can rob people legally, in bright day light, and with a smile on your face. Even funnier is that this is the way it is in reality -and without exaggeration- with the banks and credit card companies. Like I said in the past, sometimes reality it’s funnier than fiction… Funny ha ha.

Teabagging

CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO GET THE FULL EFFECT.

In case you are wondering what the term “DINO” in the title stands for. You know it’s like the “RINO” thing (Republican In Name Only) but for the other party, Democrat In Name Only. So happens that that’s where the blog humor was leading to but I just wanted to insert that I’m not a “party affiliate” kind of a person myself (and yes I voted for Arnold and I would do it again). I guess that the general most popular definition is that of an “independent” (although a more patient one perhaps and not like “what? two days in office no results? So lets change back to the party that three days ago got us in the mess that we’re in the first place?”). Partisan politics just for the sake of being partisan does not do anything for anyone (duh).

The Lapel Flag "Thingy"

And what’s with the American flag on the lapel thing? Have we become a cartoon nation? What happen to the adults? Are we now a nation of school children with an identity problem? So what now? If you don’t wear or show-off the flag, you’re not as good an American as those who abuse it? So what then, so long as you “flash the flag” you can say or do anything you like, however crazy or “unamerican” it may be? Let’s just grow up a little, shall we? All Americans have a lot to be proud of and there are many more dignifying ways to play tribute to this wonderful idea of nation that we “all” are. Enough already.

Zombie Health Insurance

I guess it’s a treat, “HAPPY HALLOWEEN” everyone… and thanks for following all this nonsense…more ghouls and vampires coming up.

Do you think zombies should have health insurance? What kind of premiums should dead people pay? Is being dead a preexisting condition? Now, that’s a worthwhile debate isn’t it? Anyway, I had this particular cartoon drawn a while ago and right at the height of this summer’s tea-party’s exuberation (this word is not in the dictionary?) but I’d decided to wait for Halloween. I was planning to have a Halloween special to peak this nonsense… and this zombie cartoon was just perfect for it. As the healthcare debate got more civil and into substance I’ve started to feel that the punchline and emphasis of the cartoon was diminishing. That is, until the tea-baggers (and I’m restraining the best I can not to make a joke about the “other meaning” for “teabagging”) decided to go at it again…thus the “DIE-HARD” as a title came up. Like zombies are hard to kill, right? So the new title seems to make it even better. Things are looking up…and again, more ghouls and vampires coming up. 

Blood Sucker

So here’s Bela Lugosi (DRRRRAKULA), the new -HealthInsurance- Industry’s Spokesperson. Well, he’s dead by now, but then again he was a vampire, right? So -like the -HealthInsurance Industry, Drakula will stick around for as long as there’s someone’s life to suck the blood out of (the other way around?). It’s like the Vampire’s “Business Model”, they will suck your blood for as long as you’re -healthy- and of course they’ll dump you when you -getsick-. Like “duh”, where’s the profit in that? Yeah “TRRRRRUST” us, we’re for prrrofit but…we have yourrr best interrrest in mind. So why do we do it? Why do we still trust vampires?

Nosferatu

I’m not sure if I’m castigating the subject a little too much (editorially that is) but the jokes are still valid and at this point it’s more about the art, the form of expression and the neat effect it seems to have. Meaning that there’s something creatively honest about how this format forces the artistic expression and how it comes together into a thing of its own. There’s the primal magic on hand drawings and there’s the humor of course… and like in the traditional political cartoon in newspaper and magazines. The intention by design is that the humor is in the graphic and that the graphic itself is the punch line… and the same thing if there’s (limited) animation, sound or interactivity involved. The text is there to set it up and to emphasize it all. The idea is to get an effect and/or a reaction, all quick and in one pass.

The Cuckoo's Klan

My favorite so far… this stuff just writes itself. For those of you who may be too young to remember, the cartoon portrays a scene from the movie classic “One Flew Over the Cukoo’s Nest”. You may remember the Joker from the first Batman movie though, but do you know that the role that Jack Nicholson played in the Cukoo’s nest movie is what actually got him the role as the crazy Joker in the Batman movie? So there, doesn’t it all fit like “crazy”? Isn’t it funny the way things come together. Isn’t the “joke” funny…or is it just me?

Got Milk?

I’m always curious as to whom they are always referring to… It’s like when someone says “we want our country back the way it was,” I’m afraid to ask what they mean. It’s simple, when you’re at the bottom of the barrel by virtue of yourself it is always comforting to think of others as lesser than you. So think about it, if you were to take racism out of the picture what would they see when they look at themselves in the mirror? No one likes been at the bottom.  

The NFL Plantation

Like in a real football game you are suppose to resist the other team’s offense…while setting up offensives of your own. Without an opposing effort the other team will simply win even if they have no merit and do not deserve it. If you do nothing, you will simply get run over and lose (and there’s a lot to lose). In the other hand, if you oppose them in whatever form and however little you would at least slow them down and reduce their effectiveness. Yes we’re a better team but without an effort that means nothing in the field. Don’t get cocky as they are, do something…and who knows, if we have the stamina and actually make a real effort we may win the league. You’re part of a good team and we won the first game, now we need to get the championship and get the results we deserve. Yes we can?

Star War's Jabba The Hutt

Star-ing Rush Limbaugh as Jabba the Bloob. Yeah, it’s like a Star Wars soap-opera episode (soo easy to come up with this stuff). Sensible people tend to get cut in the “it’s crazy” or “it doesn’t make sense” argument (and it is, and it doesn’t), but need to realize (quickly perhaps) that to the “angry’s” it does not have to make sense, as it is not about the words, or the logic (as there’s none), but about the venom in those words. Lets face it (according to the angry gene theory), there are people out there with a pathological need to be angry. And these twisted entertainers have simply found their niche (and they are very good at making “crap” smell and taste like chicken). They are good at keeping them angry (their natural stage), and like Star Wars episodes, their audience can’t wait for the fix of the next episode. Can’t wait to hear what new and crazy stuff these crazy entertainers will say that day to keep them angry. Or make them angrier perhaps, and angrier and, and angrier…(To be continued?)…

Sure it is all primal and tribal stuff and it is more accentuated now because of the economic pressures but isn’t this the stuff we’re suppose to have evolved from? Hmm…well, maybe we’re still in the process. Oh, “evolution,” but that’s another full chapter in this context isn’t it (maybe another day)?

So I ask myself with some degree of fear, is this just a bad episode? When -and how- would this star wars saga end?

The "Other" Taliban

Wow, how low can you go? I can’t keep up with this crap and Halloween still a few weeks away. Crazy that even the lunatics over there (Taliban), would have more of a point than the lunatics over here (shock radio… and cable).

Whatever your politics or point of view -and I’m pretty moderate myself in “civilian life”- none of this crazy noise (and you know it) has anything to do with a discussion or an exchange of ideas. I’m personally, and politically above the noise and sometimes I even feel a little uncomfortable “swinging back” even if it is with humor. But this is not the typical political swing (left and right) and these lunatics are a bit more worrisome than looney tunes… but I’m an artist first and far most, and all of this is way too funny and crazy to pass on… (to be continued).

Special Olympics

Just because someone opens their mouth does not mean that they are saying anything. This whole “real American” thing is quite a tickle. We are all American (duh), and last time I checked we were all real (extraterrestrials included). When it’s the last time that you had the need to say, “hey stranger, I’m a real american?” Be weary of these MOTARDS (motivated retards) who have the (-pathological-) need to stand in front of a big American flag and tell you (everyone else) that you are not as American as they are. Don’t chicken out, stand your ground and do not be intimidated, you are a “real American”. To be a citizen and an American is not something that can be parsed… but, if for the sake of argument, we were to follow their own logic, then won’t you say that anyone who will be happy (rather gleeful) to have their own country lose the bid for the olympics should be considered anti-American… like not a “real American” right? So where’s the logic? Oh, I get it… logic does not apply to crazy people.

Time Bomb Glenn

Ka-Boom!!

It's a Cock Fight

I do not need to take sides on this one. More often than not, and no matter how confusing an issue may be (especially in politics) it always boils down to something very basic. Humans for the most part are primal and selfish by nature (plus or minus civilized evolution). It’s raw and it’s basic, all you have to do is look and see who benefits from it. Or just follow the money trail.

Another Day at the Circus

When ego -and money- trumps conscience. Another great performance by Fox Entertainment-news master clown. Stay tuned as this is not over yet. There’s a lot more of it, and a lot crazier shit to be said. Lets face it, hate and bigotry sells. Someone at the network was smart enough (and mind you it’s for money and ratings) to come up with the HATE CHANNEL idea to cater to the angry (gene) people and it works. They get a loyal audience and when you keep making bad noise -no matter how stupid or crazy- eventually everything becomes bad noise. With Clinton, at least (maybe because he was white?) they waited until the second term before they really when at it. There are no breaks or benefit of the doubt with Obama (maybe because he’s black?). They are starting early and they are going all out. Sad, really that it is just about destruction and ratings rather than about people and country. “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country”… or is it the other way around? “Ask not what you can do for country but what your country can do for you”…never mind.

Primetime Roache

The very nature of cable television is that it is designed to cater to specific people and/or specific interest. Just tune in to the channel you want and watch whatever you want that make’s you feel good. Make no mistake. These pundit are neither idealist nor freedom fighters. These guys are just heartless opportunist. The likes of the O’Reilly’s and Beck’s of the world (to mention just a couple) would not have been the ones in jails in communist Russia or Nazi Germany but rather work for the KGB, the Gestapo (at least as informants) or at the propaganda ministries. East Germany and the transformation there after the war comes to mind. Same asshole mindset, different label. These are not particularly noble people nor freedom advocates. They are opportunistic, roach-like arrogant bullies (aka assholes).

We Sure can

We should respect all kinds of creatures on this earth, and insects are no exception of course. Don’t know about you, but if I ever see a roach creeping around my kitchen (or TV room) it’s very likely that I would go all out to step on it. So maybe we should make and exception with roaches, bullies, hypocrites and assholes (not to worry, none of these creatures are on the endangered species list). What do you think?  

Roach Hall

Sure, history is supposed to be a lesson we should all learn from…just don’t expect for it not to repeat itself. Just because the setting is not the same does not mean that the same is not happening. Just be aware that “THE DEVIL” is in the (into) details (no pun intended). Just because someone says that they’re a preacher does not make them one or make them good.

The March on Washington

KKK Fox News

Funny yes, but not so funny when you think that’s what some people actually really think.

KKK Fox News

WHO’S COUNTRY IS WHAT TO WHOM? History repeats itself? Is this all for real? Make no mistake, my guess is that this IS the new KKK. They may not wear the hoods anymore -they do not need to- but it is, for all practical purposes the exact same thing. Arrogance rains supreme, racism is alive and well and now they do not even have the need to hide it. I find myself sounding radical and I don’t like it but all of this is too real and too close for comfort. It will be funny if it wasn’t so close to real. The joke is funny though, so i just hope that it makes you feel a little better.

If Women Could Rule the World

It’s not about gender or race or persuasion of any kind, it’s not about men vs. women, black vs. white, young vs. old, rich vs. poor, one nation vs. another etc. It’s all about that freaking “angry gene.” Some humans are just angry, not angry by circumstance or misfortune but by DNA. It is simply in their genes and they just can’t help it. Not that we have to tolerate it and let it take over. The angry gene is a totalitarian one and it is quite scary to think about what would happen if this current crop of freaks (men or women) were to be in power. Most regresses in history have more to do with the angry gene than with anything else (the enemy is “technically” within). Seriously it’s a bit scary.

The Health Scare Debate

Often enough the idea for reactionaries is to make things as confusing and as annoying as possible. Like blow a fuse in people’s heads so that you can feed them angry stuff. But that’s just mean and uncivilized, it’s reactionary, it does not build but destroys. As per the picture above, why is it that being “progressive” is such a scary concept for “regressive” people? Frankly I do not get it (except at the raw organism level) since all the progressive things that have come to be are for the benefit of everyone and have made the greatest difference in the human experience on earth (including the reactionaries with the angry gene). So what are we suppose to do, give it all up and go back to the stone-age? Of course not. I can picture the angry debate about the evils of fire (I should do a blogtoon on that one) almost as clearly as the debate about gene splicing. Interesting…

Talking Guns

Everyone wants their rights granted…duh! Nothing wrong with that, but what about the responsibilities that come with those rights? Would you get into a civil discussion with a guy displaying a gun? Would you be weary to say something that person wouldn’t like? That’s intimidation of course…it’s like attending a town meeting discussion wearing a gun…whoops, that’s actually what they are doing…reality seems to trump comparison.
