Warning: Satire Ahead
The Magazine Cover That Destroyed Earth continued to gain steam today. I thought I'd throw this cartoon from a few months ago back out there. It treads similar ground to the New Yorker cover although it contains a little more context with the words--a crucial factor in not ending the world with your confusing images.
Randi Rhodes is a staunch Obama booster. I caught a few minutes of her radio show today where she was railing against the cover. According to her, the illustration has made it "exponentially more difficult, if not impossible" for Obama's supporters to convince people who are on the fence to vote for him. "if not impossible?" I'm glad to see she has a sense of scale about the whole controversy.

I'm so pissed at our side somtimes. Have we nothing better to rage against? and why all the rage? Is it only evangelical manipulative ministers who bother to study the cognitive arts and the art of argument anymore?
I particularly like the Black Panther party allusion. Very nice.
Context is key it's true. Yours is a better cartoon than the New Yorker cover for that reason.
Thanks, WStock. If only the New Yorker would run actual political cartoon instead of an occasional political cover.
