#DemocratsDeliver
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3845

Been out of town for a while, been sick for a while, finally getting 
my tired old ass to the drawing table again.

So, I'd been noticing this #DemocratsDeliver hashtag crawling like a 
rash all over Facebook as the "election" freak circus cranks up, and 
thought I'd have some fun with it — like, yeah; I know what the 
Democrats "deliver", alright.

Green Eggs and Scam by Daniel Boris

That darn Michael Ramirez

Readers critique The Post: Here's the beef with this minimum-wage cartoon

Washington Post April 19, 2024

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/04/19/basketball-sexism-nazi-jersey-eclipse/

Every week, The Post runs a collection of letters of readers' grievances — pointing out grammatical mistakes, missing coverage and inconsistencies. These letters tell us what we did wrong and, occasionally, offer praise. Here, we present this week's Free for All letters.

Here's the Beef [Michael Ramirez letter].

Robert Braxton, Fairfax

Washington Post April 20, 2024 : A15.

The April 2 editorial cartoon. (Michael Ramirez/Las Vegas Review-Journal for The Washington Post)

Michael Ramirez's April 2 editorial cartoon, "Fried," was a mean-spirited distortion.

How is it that, say, $20 billion to one who already possesses billions of dollars is beneficial to "the economy" but $20 per hour to an actual worker who is likely to spend that money is wrecking it? That's preposterous.

Prices clearly are not exclusively a function of the wages being paid to or denied to workers. The issue is more nuanced, which is not the case with this portrayal.

Not so distasteful after all [Michael Ramirez letter].

John S. Williams, Fairfax Station

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/04/19/basketball-sexism-nazi-jersey-eclipse/

The April 6 editorial cartoon. (Michael Ramirez/Las Vegas Review-Journal for The Washington Post)

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization Bear Spray depicted in Michael Ramirez's wonderful April 6 editorial cartoon, "NATO's 75th anniversary," has been a solid sales success, particularly in Poland and the Baltic nations. I suggest the introduction of a companion product for our allies facing encroachment from the People's Republic of China: Dragon Repellant.

WCP reviews The People’s Joker

The People's Joker Might Be the Last Great Superhero Film

Can't recall the last good superhero movie you saw? Vera Drew is here to change that with an original story that manages to be a funny, sensitive, and profane story of identity.

WaPo on The People's Joker

'The People's Joker' is the superhero movie of the year; Set in the Batman universe, Vera Drew's unauthorized trans 'Joker' parody is a defiantly personal act of artistic subversion [in print as An anarchic antidote to superhero movie fatigue].
