That darn Michael Ramirez

the May 7 editorial cartoon (Michael Ramirez/Las Vegas Review-Journal for The Washington Post)

Another reason to be up in arms

Bruce Krebs, Arlington
Washington Post May 25 2024.
online at https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/05/24/jackson-state-killings-kent-state-massacre/

Michael Ramirez's May 7 editorial cartoon, "A never-ending cycle," copied M.C. Escher's artwork "Drawing Hands" (with "apologies" to Escher as a credit). Escher emphatically rejected a letter from the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger, requesting a drawing for an album cover. My opinion is he would not appreciate Ramirez's use of his work, either. But what was Ramirez's point?

I am unaware of President Biden making a dramatic increase in civil service employees. I guess Ramirez was satirizing aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. As most of that money buys weapons and ammunition made in the United States to send to foreign destinations, this circle provides profit for U.S. arms manufacturers and jobs for Americans, which I thought were conservative ideals. What's not to like, Mr. Ramirez?

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Now We Are ALL 'Hamas'"

From DC's anarchist cartoonist -

"Now We Are All 'Hamas'"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3869

Glimpsed a headline on the front page of USA Hooray earlier this week
yelling about how one of the groups organizing the campus occupations
in the US was apparently under Federal investigation some time ago for
(quelle horreur) connections to Hamas — like, anyone who really knows
from shit is going to oppose legitimate resistance or even care if
activists they know are connected to them — every doctor, reporter,
student, laborer, office worker, artist, musician, football player who
ever spoke up against this horror is now "connected to Hamas",
apparently including my own self.

Despite the disgusting nature of the headline, I couldn't help
snickering to myself as I knew this was a prime indication that
they're losing hugely, almost none of the People believe them anymore,
nothing they've tried to silence us has worked very well and that
they've totally lost control — and, backed into that corner, have
resorted to the old standby If You Can't Beat 'Em, Smear 'Em.

Does 'IF' capture the magic of its Pixar inspiration?

In the new movie IF, a 12-year-old girl (Cailey Fleming) discovers she can see other people's imaginary friends. It stars Ryan Reynolds, and directed by John Krasinski. It mixes the real world and animation, but does it capture the heart of the Pixar movies that inspired it?
