I already wrote a fairly screedy blog post about this cartoon, which basically boils down to – the U.N. is suggesting that there should be certain limitations on freedom of speech, specifically with regard to people’s religious beliefs, which I think is bull.

Adventures In Registering Domain Names Out Of Indignation
by Markasaurus on March 26, 2009 at 5:00 amSo yesterday I was thinking about Fred Phelps, as I often do. I drew a cartoon about him recently that was kind of goofy, but I don’t think it really conveyed the extent to which I hate him. There are only really a handful of people I truly have a hate on for; it basically just comes down to Fred Phelps and All Clowns. I do not use the word lightly. Do I think he would be as big a scourge to humanity as someone like Hitler or Saddam Hussein if he had the opportunity? Quite possibly. Can you condemn someone for something they might possibly do if they had the chance one day? Not at all. Do I live in a free country where I can say he’s a total dick anyway? You betcha. So I was going to write a little note here about how much of a dick I think he is but that didn’t seem like enough. So instead I set up a website: http://www.fredphelpsisadick.com/ to better advertise his dickishness.
That should do it.
Fred Phelps is such a dick. To establish my position on this matter, I bought the domain name fredphelpsisadick.com just to make sure it would be used properly. So far it just has a picture of him with HE IS A DICK written under it, but I will put it to better use soon.
Adventures In David Copperfield Might Be A Douche
by Markasaurus on February 9, 2009 at 12:00 amSo after I finished drawing today’s comic I felt a slight pang of guilt for making a joke about David Copperfield’s untimely demise. Then I got paranoid… what if the dude had died or got some horrible disease and I hadn’t heard about it and I made a tasteless joke? Should I just change it to Criss Angel, who nobody cares about under any circumstances? I decided to check Copperfield’s Wikipedia page just in case. This turned up the following pieces of information…
- In 2006 he was mugged, but used sleight of hand to hide his valuables from his assailant. The two ladies he was with were not as magically skilled and lost all their stuff.
- Also in 2006, Copperfield claimed to have found the fountain of youth on an island that he owns.
- In 2007-2008 he was investigated by the FBI for sexual assault and bribery.
So, what I came away from this experience with is that there is a very small, but very definite possibility that David Copperfield is an immortal sex offender who won’t help you if you get mugged. I think karma will have my back on this one.
The Banshee mournful wails
In the midst of the silent, lonely, lonely night,
Plaining, she sings the song of death,
“I have a book out about how
9/11 is Barack Obama’s fault
Get it at Barnes & Noble
Fourteen Ninety-Five”
- Old Gaelic folk song
This was one of the first cartoons I put out that I actually got feedback on from people I didn’t know in real life. I am always slightly taken aback when I am reminded that people outside my circle of friends actually know this site exists. Like when some nice people from the Phillipines became fans of the site on Facebook. Unexpected, but awesome.
Actually I don’y know why Robert Byrd would be against deporting someone’s Korean neighbour, since he used to be in the Klan. He also personally filibustered the Civil Rights Act in 1964. He’s a nice guy, and third in line of succession to the presidency.
Seriously, how many shenanigans do you have to pull in politics before they finally arrest your ass? The only people I can think off who are more twisty than Rove are Richard Nixon and Peter Mandleson.
This is quite a subtle jab at the right in hindsight. I thought Barack Obama would be in for a bit of a rough ride if he got elected, but I never even dreamed that within his first year they would be directly calling him a Nazi. They obviously have no idea how offensive that is, but I’m not sure if that makes it worse or not.
