Dreary, pedantic, boring, so 15 years ago, leftist, bum-osculating, sack of festering tripe. Beloved of NPR and the pseudo-hip of the left. Old guys with pony tails with ex-hippy chick girl friends who have terminally sagging bullet breasts and who drive SMART cars, Nissan Cubes, and tricked out Priuses, and who think subtlety is sticking their heads under the business end of a pile driver, read this tripe:
The rest of us, tired of the drool-inducing, pathetically old, stilted, sledgehammer rhetoric of some sclerotic leftist, post-adolescent cartoonist whose heyday was 40 years ago, and who thought representing a VPOTUS and a POTUS as a talking feather was scaling the heights of hipness, opt for an artist whose characters are light, airy, piquant, and whose message is adroit and delivered with shadings and texture, read this:
..so, you got some jingle in your jeans? Hit Chris Muir's tip jar and tell Garry Trudeau to put some sand in his Vaseline jar and beat it.
No vested pecuniary interest here; I'd just like to tell Trudeau to die and go to Hell with a hard-on.
..Bravo One-Six-Zero..out.
-30-
I'd like to see Trudeau meet St. Peter with a soft peter -- but I'm sadistic in that regard.
ReplyDeleteEven before I cared much about politics, etc., I thought Doonesbury was, well, less than clever.
ReplyDeleteLL, sort of the opposite of my sentiments. Of those I dislike..well..it's what I closed with in the post.
ReplyDeleteBastatarian, when I was at UCLA -- '64 to '68 -- Doonesbury was all the rage because he had some really hip stuff going on. Trudeau coaxed a chuckle out of me once in a while. Then, like so many of that era, he veered hard left when the Viet Nam War fell into disfavor. Over the years, he just grew plain tedious the more libs fawned over him.
His characterizations of Dan Quayle and "W" as feathers emitting dialog didn't piss me off as much as it was just plain pathetic. I don't believe I've read a Doonesbury strip in years.
Chris Muir's DBD, on the other hand, was a searing shock to me. It was when that worthless pile of fecal matter known as Mr Theresa Heinz (John Kerry) was running against "W" in 2004 that I stumbled across the his work. My initial thoughts were, "Yeah, here we go again, some leftist political strip that's gonna bag on the right and push Kerry." (The edition is saw was a little ambiguous.)
Anyway, as I unpacked it and read past strips, joy and elation came over me. Along with finding the internet blogging presence that the right used to take down Kerry, DBD was pretty witty and not at all as heavy handed as Trudeau had become.
The one thing that is so nice about all of this is that occasionally one gets responses to e-mails from luminaries; Ed Morrissey has been incredibly responsive to me and Chris Muir is, well, a prince.
Of course, they have work to do and we should not burden them, but it makes you feel so connected. (Post coming later on this subject.)
Chris was always gracious and, from what I learned in my brief conversations, he does not make a lot of money on DBD from contributions. Not that I begrudge him one cent..
..hell, I hope his net worth form exposing the crap on the left (and painting a pretty good picture of the world of folks 1.5 generations after me) rises to Soros-like proportions and that he drives gold-plated Volts to and from his various mansions and Lear jets.
But that's just me; a raging capitalist.
I may not have a new car, or vacations, but readers have enabled me to do what I love for 4 years now after my old career dried up and blew away.
ReplyDeleteAnd, that I count as riches, true WEALTH-much better than where I was before! Thank you War Planner and all DBD readers, and it is up to me to produce something worth your time and your custom once/year.I'm only as good as my last toon, so in true capitalist fashion, back to work go I!
:)
Chris,
ReplyDeleteYou already have created something worth our time and money. Now work on getting obscenely rich so you can continue to stick it to lib fatheads like Trudeau!
..and pass along my regards to Sam and Zed. esp. Sam.

ReplyDeleteI just couldnt leave your website before saying that I really enjoyed the quality information you offer to your visitors… Will be back often to check up on new stuff you post!
ReplyDeleteTeskking..
ReplyDeleteThat is frighteningly nice of you. Hurry back and do NOT hesitate to check out the sites of the other brigands, footpads, villains, and ne'er-do-wells I run with.
They are brighter, more mentally adroit, and eminently more handsome or beautiful of body and spirit than i could ever hope to be.
Woe betide you if you ever aspire to getting your amateur radio license; once that fact is known, I become like a born-again Amway salesman on steroids.
..tangential comment: methinks Testking spammed me. Lord I hope not.
