C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2004 Yeah, this guy's really not witty, funny, creative or from what I can tell intelligent. He just tries to be as much of an asshole as possible to get attention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2004 Okay, WHAT? He took a story, exaggerated it and made a Cartoon. Isn't that what EVERY political Cartoon does? What is so HORRIBLE about this one. And how can Mike be so sensitive and such a shoot first ask questions later guy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted May 12, 2004 It's lame and all but I think a person who suggests nuking a country is a bit more of a fucking retard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2004 True, but this guy's comic just sucks. They put it in the local city paper here and it has never once been funny. I hate when people are just trying to get negative publicity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted May 12, 2004 Meh. It's avg rating is 3.1 That sounds about right to me. Totally average political cartoon. How this is at all newsworthy is beyond me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just that when he tries to make his point he goes for sensationalism and outrage. He's a smart guy who makes dumb comics. He's also an asshole who can't take a joke and sued somebody because of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 There was a British comic that had Tony Blair on GWB's leash. It was two birds with one stone. I can't find the comic. Any Brit folks could lend a hand here. I mention it because I'm sure it would offend many on this board as well, if the one in this thread did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 Rall comes off kinda like a lot of guys I know; the ones who simply have no idea what the words "restraint" or "subtlety" mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2004 It's not meant to be taken OH SO SERIOUS~! but I think that most people in CE wouldn't like it anyway, or they'd think it's dead-on. No one really has a sense of humour. I wonder if the people in GC are as conservative as most of the people in the CE folder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dids Report post Posted May 16, 2004 My only beef is that they used the photoshopped upside down book picture. There's so much that actually wrong with Bush, why use made- up stuff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He apparently has an issue with a comic strip but offers brilliant strategies such as 'bomb em all' for foreign relations affairs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
