This week Hustler Magazine Publisher Larry Flynt and Girls Gone Wild guy Joe Francis announced at a press conference that the Porn industry needs an economic bailout. See Here, here and here.
Well my latest cartoon thinks if Larry takes a certain angle, he might be able to get it. Insert your own joke here (ex “these hard times”, “flaccid economy”…etc etc)
Daryl Cagle has coined the term “Yahtzee” to refer to when 5 or more editorial cartoonists do the same gag. One he has ragged on in the past is using the “I’m with stupid” shirts on a cartoon. I have no idea who he is referring to..he he. In honor of that, I like to coin my own new phrase “Blue Ribbon.” When a cartoonist is the first to latch onto a new topic.
I did a 20 second search of google and haven’t found anything poking fun at the next set of conspiracy theory doomsday predictors – 2012. I saw the movie trailer this past week and thought it was well done. Then I made a trip to the bookstore and noticed all the books on the subject (even one that is a How To Survive 2012 book).
The basic gist is that there is a belief that because the Mayan calendar ends in December of 2012 that somehow they predicted the end of the world. One theory is that we will have a major catastrophe caused by the shifting of the North and South poles. I have even heard Nostradamus’ name thrown out. Didn’t he predict the end of days before during the turn of the century…didn’t come true. Sadly I think this will become worse than Y2K.
So if you see a 2012 editorial cartoon online somewhere that was published before mine, let me know and I’ll gladly hand over my Blue Ribbon.
Once again Congress will allow themselves a “cost of living” increase while their approval ratings and the economy are in the tank. This cartoon pretty much sums up the attitude.
Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis got into a tiff about the team’s performance with a local Cincinnati Enquirer reporter at his weekly press conference. At one point he told the reporter he wasn’t going to respond to his questions.
Several articles (including one from USA Today) discuss the impact the economy is having on illegal immigration from Mexico. How long will it take for our economy to be worse and people start immigrating illegally OUT of the U.S.?
The first time they came to Washington asking for a Bailout from Congress, they didn’t have a plan and came in private jets. What if this time they were serious?
What’s more, this article brings up an interesting point. When will Congress start cutting back on their travel and budgets?
It seems that the hope of a revival of the lowly Cincinnati Bengals two years ago has turned into the same old thing. While still holding out hope, surprised at the number of people who still are showing up to the games.
Not one who jumped on the Sarah Palin is bad bandwagon but this faux pas was too funny.
