Not exactly a political cartoon, but I like it.

If you look at it logically, cannibalism has great potential to simultaneously solve our overpopulation and food shortage problems.

...What's with the people's faces looking like particularly coherent bits of fractal art?  Is this Grim Fandango's world of the living?

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

These are ancient, but they are political cartoons, drawn by none other than Dr. Seuss:

Quote from: Jordan Duram
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

I love Dr. Seuss's political cartoons, especially the pro-Soviet ones that he did during the war.

"There is no moral difference between a stealth bomber and a suicide bomber. Both kill innocent people for political reasons."

“If we can find the money to kill people, we can find the money to help people.”

"I'm not frightened about death. I don't know why, but I just feel that at a certain moment your switch is switched off, and that's it. And you can't do anything about it."

Some day, I will understand why people think it's a good idea to use poorly-animated, robot-voiced video to present content which really should be text-only.

I don't want to go all "if writing dialogues was good enough for Plato, it's good enough for me", but I seriously cannot understand the appeal of GoAnimate videos as a tool for presenting information.

scary accurate, I think...
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

The Internet seems to like videos too much in general. One of the greatest days in the future of the Internet will be the day when advertisers realise how little auto-playing videos work. Then again, if they didn't learn from MySpace-
