After feedback, I have been persuaded to re-open this thread for submissions.

Please make sure that you read the forum rules before posting.

Be aware that you are responsible for whatever you post.

Whilst the nature of political cartoons means that some people may be miffed or annoyed, there is no place for deliberately offensive material. If in doubt, don't post (or seek advice from a moderator via PM).

Please ensure that you host pictures yourself. Any hotlinked cartoons will be deleted. Because of this, it would also be a good idea to provide credit to the artist/publication.

Enjoy.

Oh, go on then, seeing as BG has been so gracious as to reopen the thread :bow:

Here's one of my favourites, on a similar theme:

http://www.mydatabus.com/public/macsenrufus/k_chronicle.gif

The K-Chronicles can be found at The Salon (www.salon.com), and I owe my thanks to Zaknafien for reminding me it was there, I'd not visited for a couple of years... yeah yeah I know it's a wishy-washy crypto-pinko liberal propaganda machine (but that's what I like about it ~D)

Not sure if this qualifies as a political cartoon, but its a parody of the Bush admin. and Star Wars. I'm sorry George Lucas; I couldn't resist.
Found this about a year ago so I don't know who did this but its funny.

This one is of course from the last bit of the seizing of that RN boat.
https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v140/Schpetzka/corky.jpg

This one is from a few years ago and was made in reference to the Israeli/Palestinian fighting but I feel it still very relevant today and of course for more than that conflict.
https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v140/Schpetzka/CostOfWar.gif

This one is of course when the Bush adminstration finally decided to change a bit of what they were doing. I think this is from early '06, not sure though.
https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v140/Schpetzka/bok.jpg

And then these two aren't cartoons but I post them anyhow because I think they make a point in the same manner political cartoons do. It's just pointing out the different covers of Newsweek and Time magazine when marketing within the US or abroad.

It's a spoof on the Knights Who Say Ni (nee? Nie?) from Monty Python's Holy Grail, and the knights in the background look almost exactly like those Knights Who Say Ni.

You would think Newsweek would capitalize on that topic since they're mainly pro-Democrat.
I can understand that Time would change it b/c they're pro-Republican but why did Newsweek change their covers?

10-25-2007, 18:26

I already regret posting it. Somewhat. Few of the qualifications are fit for print, even by Backroom standards, but I can not post it and then withold you a translation, so here goes, reluctantly:

(I should've known this would happen) ~:mecry:

Bonasses - suckers, as in a good natured fool
Roux - reds, redheads
On s'en fout - we don't care, or better, since it's not very polite: we don't give a damn
Putes - whores
Mafia - mafia
Vodka - vodka
Alcoolos - binge drinkers. Boozers I think is the English term
Faineants - sluggard, or rather: lazy ****s
Poilues - shaggy, as in rough-haired persons
Teubé - (verlan, reversed 'bête', for all you confused French speakers) nuts
Toxicos - derogatory term for people under the influence of drugs
Fachos - fascists, but it's ruder than proper 'fascist'
Lents - sluggards?, but more in the sense of slow of understanding than lazy
Voleurs - thieves
PD - 'pédérastes', gays
Accordeonistes - accordeonists
Maison - home

It, er...naturally the object of the cartoon is ridiculisation of the narrow-mindedness of the French, and not any perceived character traits of foreigners. :yes: :sweatdrop:

Uhh, I didn't noticed how my statement was worded. What I meant was since Canada was the Hat; perhaps Mexico was the pantaloons or the shoes.

However, for you people who took my statement the wrong way.
That wouldn't work since Florida is the front legs Texas is the hindlegs so correct me if I'm wrong; Mexico would be in the wrong spot for that organ.
Mexico would probably be an extension of the hindlegs.

Isnt a hat an inanimate object for the purpose of keeping warm or to provide shade from the sun?:dizzy2:

If yes then canada has done nothing and failed on its duties to shade or keep America warm. Beirut gets a(two point warning-Boyar Son)

They're not political, but no cartoon thread is complete without one of the funniest guys on the planet, Gary Larson, of the 'Far Side'. There must be a million of his works floating on the web. Here are two:

'to all muslims in the world, there is an extremily insulting movie comming your way, I repeat'

Sums it up alright, Balkenende (our prime minister) made this big, everything has been said on FOX and there was no reaction. Our muslims don't care about this movie, nor do we, nothing is going to happen. Balkenede is way too scared for this job.

Seems to be groups shaking hands with some guy in a suit, im thinking a lawyer maybe the devil, Nazis made a deal with the devil.... evil red star guys made a deal with the devil.... the EU are trying to make a deal with the devil but he's getting pissed off with all the incompetence and beaucracy.

BTW can anyone tell me who the red star guys are ?

Adrian II

04-07-2008, 14:01

BTW can anyone tell me who the red star guys are ?These guys usually confuzzle their history beyond all recognition.

Anyway, let's give this one a try.

I suppose the hand represents Britain, or British public opinion. Am I on the right track?
Britain supposedly welcomed nazism, which may be a reference to the Munich event in 1938 where Britain, presently a EU member state, welcomed (illusory) peace with Germany, another present-day EU member.
Later on it supposedly welcomed Communism, which is a reference to - well, to nothing at all.
And nowadays it is asked to welcome the EU - as if Britain hasn't been a EU member since 1973.

Make any sense?

I think the cartoon means that the EU will do business ie expansion with just about everyone that wants to.

LittleGrizzly

04-07-2008, 14:52

The Cartoon is british ?

my angle on it is.....

the handshakes we have is europe embracing nazism and then europe embracing red star guys and then the fact that the eu hand is out but there is no-one shaking it is perhaps saying europe doesn't want EU or saying that europe hasn't made the mistake of embracing dictators a third time yet....

Evil_Maniac From Mars

My take on it (whether it was the one intended by the author or not) was that Europe appeased Nazism, the Soviets were allowed to take the East (instead of what good old Patton wanted), and now we are handing our sovereignty to Europe.

Remember, political cartoonists exaggerate (Adrian, looking in your direction here). Just because a Nazi hand is in that cartoon doesn't mean anyone thinks the EU is as bad as the Nazis. :rolleyes:

I'd be interested to hear your take on the EU Adrian, but I'm afraid this is not the place.

Well according to the image name (votenoeuyv1.jpg), it is indeed anti-EU...

Perhaps the EU guy does not wash his hands as well as the other guys... or the EU is planing military expansion... into Europe. :idea2:

The EU is planning expansion and unification - it's just pretty subtle. :shame:

It's asked to welcome the Lisbon Treaty, which changes the EU from a free trade agreement into something else, something that IMHO should not exist.

Actually first time I saw it, I thought the exact opposite. The world's willing to do bussiness with Nazism or communism, but not with a united Europe.
