Now he thinks a panel break is just a "pre-zinger pause" and doing backgrounds is for suckers. Instead of copypasting the same image for weeks, he's drawing the same image twice per strip and occasionally throwing in some effort-free detail--a bleach bottle, for example, or a crude hurricane symbol.<br /><br />Anyway. Hey, remember how angry Tinsley became when Bill Clinton asked everyone to tone down the violent rhetoric? And by "everyone," I mean Coulter, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Savage, Nugent...all the usual wrong-wing morons, because no one else was saying it?<br /><br />Now look at how hurt he is by the words he put in Obama's mouth!Tognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-71137936781381310642013-02-01T15:19:38.005-08:002013-02-01T15:19:38.005-08:00Hey, weren't we just told on Tuesday that libe...Hey, weren't we just told on <i>Tuesday</i> that liberals <i>don't</i> think that "violent video games and movies"--i.e., PICTURES OF GUNS--cause school shootings?

Conversely, to talk about poverty and inequality, to draw attention to the reality that discrimination and injustice are still facts of life, is to commit the sin of political correctness.

(Don't ask about the rates of such crimes in other countries with equally high rates of video game and movie consumption, BTW.)<br /><br />However, actually using military-grade guns to shoot people to death is not enough proof that access to these guns is a contributing factor, so just move along without even discussing it.DaveyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17087745542773229282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-58891317344593888812013-01-29T12:28:51.351-08:002013-01-29T12:28:51.351-08:00I see by Tuesday's entry that Bruce Tinsley...I see by Tuesday's entry that Bruce Tinsley's debating skills peaked in kindergarten.Frank Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717740988326817494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-65231366617246603482013-01-29T07:38:38.129-08:002013-01-29T07:38:38.129-08:00Everyone knows that pretending to shoot a gun is m...Everyone knows that pretending to shoot a gun is more violent than actually shooting a gun.<br /><br />And everyone knows that if the parents of the mentally ill can't arm themselves with weapons capable of shooting a classroom of children to bloody rags, the government will oppress them.rewinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14008105385364113371noreply@blogger.com
