I liked Sims better when he wasn't making anything anymore and just rambled a lot of bullshit. Now he's going back to making his bullshit into art and yeah, thanks, I hate it!

That new Dave Sim comic blew up on Twitter. I love that most of the reactions upon seeing his name trending is "Ugh, what did Sim do THIS time?"

If the comic is half as terrible as the cover it will be really terrible.

I found an interesting gallery with a bunch of cartoons from the 80s condemning video games. Pacman seems to be the favourite.

While were on transphobic cartoons...
Readers were unhappy when this comic strip ran in a New Zealand paper. They have since apologized
Stephanie is a recurring character in the comic, too, reading the article.

Holy crap, that Stephanie character appears to be nothing but blatant transphobic propaganda, based on "her" character arc (quotation marks aren't mine btw, the comic is p. aggressive in making the character's transition as unauthentic as possible). How the heck does this trashpile of a comic even run at all????

I made the mistake of looking up her character profile, which misgenders her.
And it's so rare to see transgender male characters, so I guess it's only fitting that they made a terrible one.
I'm sure it's possible to make a narcissistic ladder-climber character who happens to be a transgender woman and make her funny, but not at the expense of her gender if that makes sense?
They did drop the strip though.

Re: Political Cartoon Thread - Build the Rall!
I guess comic book stuff kinda fits here. Remember Chelsea Cain, who did that "Ask Me About My Feminist Agenda" cover for "Mockingbird"? She's a TERF, apparently.
Her new comic is about a disease turning menstruating women into were-cats. Yeah

Everything is terrible, but what's with the line "We are girls, then we're menopausal"? It implies that a 30-year-old mother who still gets periods is a child.
And yeah, I resent how people who are assigned female at birth are assumed to be that. Especially since lately there's been a push to be as feminine as possible if afab. There's nothing wrong with being feminine, but I hate the implication that it is for everyone. It can be really alienating sometimes.

Minor correction: Chelsea Cain wrote the series, but didn’t draw that cover. She got harassed out of Marvel Comics by gaters, and then turned out to be a TERF.Mr. Big wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2019 11:57 amI guess comic book stuff kinda fits here.

Re: Political Cartoon Thread - Build the Rall!
Sina Grace wrote about his experience writing Iceman for Marvel. Wasn't exactly the most pleasant experience, I'm sorry to say
From the get-go, my first editor asserted that Iceman would be DOA if it were “too gay,” while also telling me to prepare for a cancellation anyway, given that most solo X-Men titles don’t last beyond a year.

Re: Political Cartoon Thread - Build the Rall!
It's pretty fucking chilling to read that a newspaper fires a cartoonist critical of Trump because of their business ties in the US:
Trump's constant bashing of critical media makes media wanting to profit eager to criticize him less. He doesn't need to directly order newspapers to stop being mean to him for his disgusting attitude to have an effect.Tyrell says that, although Brunswick News Inc. is a Canadian company, its business ties within the United States influenced their decision.
"Trade has been an issue since Trump took office," Tyrell said. "And the President himself is an unknown quantity who punishes those who appear to oppose him."

He's not the only one. Rob Rogers, a Pittsburgh political cartoonist, got fired last year after the newspaper was sold to a right-wing owner who had the paper start canning all of his strips critical of Trump.

Apparently Doug TenNapel is going to appear at a panel at SDCC this year. Suffice to say, not everyone is happy about it, given the history of Doug being an asshole
Also, holy shit this story:
The thread has more (he tried to get the black cartoonist to say the "N" word), but yeesh. Sounded like a trashfire

Re: Political Cartoon Thread - Build the Rall!
There's an entire subreddit devoted to the fact that the right only has the one same joke.
Here's a pleasant cartoon to offset it.
