De nieuwe Brecht Evens is een visueel verbluffende fabel over complotdenkers

'In mijn eigen land bestaat mijn boek niet': In de graphic novel K1ND schetst Ning Wang vier families die hun enig kind verloren. Maar hoe persoonlijk hij het ook houdt, voor de Chinese overheid is alles politiek. 'Ze kunnen me nochtans vertrouwen.'

Veel scherven onder de mat: Het is makkelijk om meewarig te doen over mei '68, maar de klassenstrijd was zo echt als hij vandaag is. Iedere reminder is welkom, en onvolkomen. [Tardi review]

Woordeloos en sprakeloos: Stephan Louwes is even vastberaden als zijn hoofdpersonage: het donker het zwijgen opleggen met licht. Soms is zwart-wit het verhaal op zich.

Postkoets op de périphérique: Amazing Améziane doet niets met de Franse slag. Ook deze biopic over Quentin Tarantino is geen half werk, maar anderhalf, zo vol zit het bijwijlen.

That darn Big Nate, Doonesbury, and Michael Ramirez

The Jan. 3 "Big Nate." (Lincoln Peirce/Andrews McMeel Syndicate)

An end to the age-old old-age shunning? [Big Nate letter]

Pamela Ehrenberg, Washington

Washington Post February 3 2024: A15

online at https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/02/02/buffalo-bills-mafia-slur-woodrow-wilson-racist/

Kudos to Lincoln Peirce for the recent "Big Nate" series in which Nate and his grandparents toured a senior living facility. That was the first time I've seen this topic addressed in almost 50 years of reading what used to be called the funnies.

Perhaps this, together with the Dec. 24 Business article "Aging in America," about living options for those over 85, will usher in a new beginning for how our society views this life chapter: using love, openness and humor to address collectively the opportunities and challenges associated with elder care, rather than our current model of each family figuring things out as best as we can on our own (with most then fearing we've done it "wrong" in some way). "Big Nate" and The Post helped multiple generations feel seen in this topic.

He just can't wait to get on the road again [ Michael Ramirez letter]

Susan Clark, and John Spitzak

Washington Post February 3 2024: A15

online at https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/02/02/buffalo-bills-mafia-slur-woodrow-wilson-racist/

In his Jan. 20 editorial cartoon, Michael Ramirez forgot to include former president Donald Trump as the driver of the truck. Trump, as The Post has noted, increased the debt by nearly $7.8 trillion, one of the largest percentage increases in federal debt in U.S. history.

Susan Clark, Annandale

The Jan. 20 editorial cartoon. (Michael Ramirez/Las Vegas Review-Journal for The Washington Post)

Michael Ramirez should be reminded that political cartoons are funny only when they contain a kernel of truth. In his Jan. 20 editorial cartoon, he depicted President Biden kicking a can in the path of a (admittedly very well-rendered) truck labeled "National Debt." I would expect Ramirez to be aware that it is Congress that controls the budget and that is "kicking the can," and that the bulk of the debt is something Biden inherited (in particular, from his immediate predecessor).

It is an unwritten understanding that those with the privilege of making their living through political art should contribute to the conversation (with a right-wing slant if they desire) but not peddle fantasies. If Ramirez cannot agree to this understanding, perhaps he should stick to just drawing trucks.

John Spitzak, Arlington

No, *you're* the nice guy [Doonesbury letter]

Vinod K. Jain, Ashburn

Washington Post February 3 2024: A15

online at https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/02/02/buffalo-bills-mafia-slur-woodrow-wilson-racist/

I have enjoyed the "Doonesbury" comic strip for a long time. The strip's creator, Garry Trudeau, has a knack for highlighting the quirks of everyday social and political life in the United States. The Jan. 21 strip was particularly telling.

The strip depicted a caller to a radio show, perhaps former president Donald Trump, who attributed his own unacceptable behavior to others, which psychiatrists call "projection." Trudeau illustrated Trump's actions with several examples, such as lying and being a sexual abuser and a fraudster — allegations that Trump leveled against others. This reminded me of an incident in my own life decades ago when I complimented a neighbor with "You are a really nice guy." He responded to the compliment with a saying in Persian, which translated to something like "I am but a mirror; you are seeing yourself in me." That's what projection is all about. Some people attribute to others what is true of themselves.

Trump's utterances accuse others of behaviors that effectively mirror his own. For example, his baseless claims of a deep state show that he is projecting his own behaviors on others. As the New Republic aptly reported in October 2020, "The Real Deep State Is Trump." Such a portrayal in "Doonesbury" is not merely satire but a poignant reflection of reality.

Normally, my Daily Random 15 Seconds Of MSNBC is your standard-issue 
eyeroll-inducing partisan babbling, but Steve Kornacki's election 
report last week totally warmed my heart. Best goddamn news I'd heard 
in months. F'crissake, Genocide Joe is FIFTY POINTS UNDERWATER with 
voters 18-34, reportedly the group he needs the most to get his filthy 
ass re-elected. FIFTY POINTS.

So, after the better part of 4 years of immiserating the working 
class, serving up shit-ass public health emergency response, ginning 
up a New Red Scare, trying to instigate a world war non-stop, proudly 
enabling a genocide overseas and trying to crush dissent at home, the 
Democratic Party still wants us to turn out to play their little 
Democracy Game with them. The bastards still think they can scare us 
with that tired-ass abortion rights schtick, and that "Trump is worse" 
horseshit, and their trademark "Democracy is at stake" drooling, but 
guess what...? There's a whole new generation of folks out there who 
aren't buying that shit, and sure as hell aren't going to pretend that 
the Democrats haven't been actively funding and enabling a genocide 
since last October.

FIFTY GODDAMN POINTS.
BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
