The Gorgon Transplant

Only if the cartoonist is unaffected by the chaos. Often around the world, they are.

No, it isnt.

A screenshot of a statue of Tina Turner in Tennessee. Post mentions that it was taken down and implies that it was due to criticism of its quality.

I'll admit, I often feel bad for sculptors who make poorly received statues. I'm sure they have other good works, but when they drop the ball like this, that's all they become known for.

Trump is making ICE monitor all social media for anti-ICE commentary.This is the tactic of a scared, cornered animal making one last stand to defend itself. Dont stop making cartoons and posting online. It is and will always be a form of resistance. Just ask cartoonists in other totalitarian states.

Two women are filling RSVP invitations. One of them says "I would invite Gallant, but he always brings that Goofus guy."

I dont always make New Yorker-style cartoons, but when I do, it's because I came up with a worthy joke.

A little late than never, but I had to dig out this old meme and make it new.

Give it time. He will be.

Whoo boy, he'll be doxxed in no time flat

A family sits on the couch watching tv. 1st panel - Father: ICE took him? Mother: But he's a citizen. 2nd panel - Father: ICE took them all?! Mother: "But they had work visas" 3rd panel - Father: ICE took her?! Mother: But she's Native American! 4th Panel - Family is met with gunpoint by ICE agents having broken into their home.

When the repurpose is so strong you have to draw a fresh new panel. (Last pic)

Went down a rabbit hole to the phrase's namesake, Alice in Wonderland, only to cone back up with the Morgan Library featuring manuscripts and the illustrations of both Lewis Carrol and John Tenniel

Spotted this at the gas stop. Tuck Frump, indeed.

A tantrum from not getting his way

• Damaged photos restored by strangers
Support and validation by strangers

Like TV before it, social media has had a good inpact as much at the bad that's often talked about more. I will never throw the baby out with the bathwater
2/2

People say social media is a mistake, but so far Ive seen:
• People find and return ID cards
• Long lost family or friends find each other
• Thrifters return thrifted photo albums to their owners
• Strangers helping others find jobs or resources

An artist in the 90s was put in jail for drawing horror comics #comics #mikediana #boiledangel #90s YouTube video by Treehouse Detective

Trying to use someone's art as ecidence of crimes they have not commited is why people are afraid to use art as an outlet for violent feelings. Therapists try this crap all the time.

Screenshot of post declaring Jim Davis is alive and well.

Some artists dont like Jim Davis because he only created Garfield for commercial purposes but Garfield was my gateway to wanting to do comic strips and I'll never be ashamed of that.

Cartoon titled: 4 dynamite New Image Ideas for Michael" presenting MJ with tusks, muscular with steroids, dressed as Kramer from Seinfeld and a skateboarding Hassidic Jew, and finally as Al Jolson with the caption "Harkening back to an american classic, he became the first black man impersonating a white man impersonating a black man."

Screenshot of image before Youtube artists "fixes" the cartoon.

Screenshot of artist's "fixed" work: Early 1980s michael in a black tuxedo.

I hate when an artist presents a satirical cartoon out of context and "fixes" it. Its those obnocious twitter artists all over again.

No one would engage them. We shun them.

18th century painting of a man and his young daughter, the latter who is trying to get the former to look at her doll. The caption reads: A lot of 18th century portraits are slop but occasionally you come across agem like this. The patron paid good money to paint his daughter bothering him with a barbie. "

Imagine the effort it took to paint a moment that's captured on cameras and later phones nowadays.

1940s panel cartoon showing a woman trying to ne Intimate with a nervous man who suggest the two go out and get burgers with onions (to prevent said initmacy)

A group member comments about the cartoon: "The archetype of clod has been the dominion of white males since women got any sympathy. And we say we're not prejudiced. If you look for early Homer Simpson examples, they abound in comic literature. Only our oppressors, attract such free range contempt. Actual and perceived. Men are about so high as we need to reach, to take them down a peg. But if we call them a doofus, don't try to slip an ethnicity in with them. They have to be white, which by virtue of winning so hard, is no ethnicity at all. Only everyone else is ethnic except us, in relation to and as a variant of whatever we are. Which none can definitively clarify beyond terms of more or less in their opinion. About all they're entitled to."

Peak "it aint that deep" energy.

Cartoon titled "booby prizes" with a wooden spoon labled "loser", a razzie award statue and a superimposed image of Donald Trump wearing the FIFA peace medal.

Again, I love the cartoons I can make new with one detail change.

Jughead watching TV while Veronica and Archie make out. He tells the couple "I wish you two kiss with less noise, you made me miss the punchline of the joke"

Judghead lists activities he and Archie can do without women. Archie is lovestruck covered in lipstick marks.

Jughead recoils from Betty's kiss of gratitude.

Jughead cimng out as ace has to be one of the most seamless retcons in character history. He was never intended to be, but old panels lend to the current interpretation so flawlessly.

Front entrance of a K&W restaurant

Not only does that say a lot about how traditions disappear after the death of a certain relative, but also how the inability for a restaurant to adapt to new generational tastes can spell death for that business. 1/2

I will always love K & W and it makes me think of my grandparents when I eat there. But that's a thing: It makes me think of my GRANDPARENTS. Not my parents, not my same generation relatives. My grandparents. And my Gen Z relatives probably have no idea it exists.

Posting this to celebrate my local YMCA reopening their jacuzzi after years of quarantine and renovations. It's got new underwater lights and everything. Still aint a sexy one, though.
