AI vs. AI
I don’t suppose anyone is surprised anymore by the behavior of the GOP under their Manchurian candidate. But just a few years ago it was unthinkable that a politician, particularly one representing the Republican party and who skipped out of serving by having a rich dad, could get away with trashing war heroes, pardoning convicted war criminals, ridiculing our intelligence services and our allies, and sucking up to our most long-standing and authoritarian enemies, but here we are. Thanks, Facebook. (And Fox News Propaganda Channel.)
Without the Electoral College, these cowards and their Führer would be out on their asses in the next election but since Zuckerberg doesn’t mind politicians openly lying on Facebook and using FB’s sophisticated algorithms to know exactly which “patriots” are most like to fall for their predictable, transparent lies, they have an excellent chance of sneaking into the back door again.
Oh well. Human history has always been a cycle of dumpster fires and accidental peace. It’s long been a planet dominated by mutant apes, it’s just that sometimes we manage to hide it a little bit better than we are now. Like a bad head cold, we humans will be on our way soon enough and the earth can relax again.
(One quick programming note. In the newspaper version of this cartoon, the blue inside the letters of Facebook is gone except for the “e” in the middle. No idea how that happened but it was probably my fault.)
Let’s have a gander at what Bizarro cartoons one of my favorite mutant apes, Wayno, did last week…
You haven’t truly tasted grilled albatross until you’ve had it off the hook of a pirate.
This cartoon might have been even better if the kid were staring at a cell phone and ignoring the old dude.
You’re going to need a much bigger plane. Actually, a fleet of them.
It took her quite a while to name the 1240 species of bats.
Over on Wayno’s weekly cartoon blog about this same batch, he mentions that he unintentionally did two “mansplaining” gags in a row. Hop over for the fun but come right back and finish!
With a different caption, this cartoon could be the Cheeto Mussolini’s dad praying that the draft board falls for the “bone spurs” ruse that was so common among the rich of the Vietnam era.
That’s this year’s kartoon kickoff, Jazz Pickles. I hope good folks like you will enjoy a safe and gratifying year! I’m coming closer each day to beginning to post my new graphic novel.
