I guess the racist caricatures in the World War II propaganda he did might meet with Tinsley's approval, but then he went and got all <i>anti</i>-racist with The Sneetches.

We love the common man, provided he keeps his distance from us and doesn't try to talk to us or make eye contact with us.<br /><br />Also, somebody needs to tell Tin Eye about scansion and emphasis. If the last syllable of a line ("for") isn't the one that naturally receives the emphasis, then the last two syllables need to be considered in making a proper feminine rhyme... ah, I'm starting to see the problem.Kip Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12751319031224838771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-89191205248710892482011-01-03T07:16:46.096-08:002011-01-03T07:16:46.096-08:00Drinky didn't spell "O'Reilly Factor&...Drinky didn't spell "O'Reilly Factor" correctly in the last panel.<br /><br />Note: we live in a universe where Pete Postlethwaite dies of cancer, but Bruce Tinshley continues to draw breath.

(Also, it's either "<b>A</b> reality-show <b>fan's</b>" or "Reality-show <b>fans'</b>." How about learning a little something yourself, Batshit?)<br /><br />Say, isn't that his innocent, mystified little old teabagger-lady character? ...Now depicted as some ignorant swine, because she's doing exactly what Mallard's been doing for what seems like half of 2010? (She even has her feet up, the lump of furniture, and box of crap--though Batshit thankfully spares us the crotch-splay.)<br /><br />A gold star for Batshit! He drew Mallard smiling without the unmistakable air of Smug Prick about him. (Batshit himself, however, steadfastly maintains his own such air.) <br /><br />I hope Batshit realizes his description of a reality-show fan's complete ignorance of everything has been demonstrated to apply more to the average FOX Propaganda viewer than anyone.
