We’ve been a little tough on ol’ Teddy ’round these parts, so we’re gonna lay off him for a spell — ‘tleast until he pisses out his next stream of execrable gutterjuice.
…Well, maybe one more little Blogwars snipe before commencing our self-imposed Rall moratorium…*
[A New York Times spokesperson responds: “Okay. Enough’s enough. Now you’re just beating a dead horse. And besides, it should read ‘black and white and red all over.’ Peasant.”
protein wisdom’s rejoinder: No, beating a dead horse is the subject of Ted’s next cartoon. Or did Teddy change his mind and decide to go with the one about Bush and Cheney shooting up a soup kitchen filled with legless orphans…? Given the trouble he has drawing fingers, I’d suggest he stick with the dead horse idea. Either that or make the orphans armless. (You homonym Nazi)]
*after Jim Treacher’s resplendent “Clip-Art Nonsense.”
You’re going to STOP???? Why???
And I thought you guys were relentless!
No lie. I read this latest, went and had dinner, sat down after dinner to read Pynchon’s <i>Vineland,</i> – and all of a sudden it hit me: Rall’s cartoon was pulled out of the Times. “Read no more” indeed.
You know what’s sad? The breadstick bimbo got it before I did.

The breadstick bimbo got what, exactly? If I may.
An author never tells.
Hello, Jeff! Hello, Don.
Preliminaries: I really enjoy your site, and I’ve been reading it since its days as a pea-green blog Jeff. But if you won’t tell, I will.
Don–The riddle, “what’s black and white and read all over” was very popular when I was a kid (there were other answers beside “the New York Times” too, as I recall: A Zebra in a blender, a Panda with her period, etc.).
Well, Ted Rall’s now “infamous” cartoon was pulled from the New York Times. Consequently, “What’s black and white and read NO MORE” = Ted’s cartoon in the NYT!
The “breadstick bimbo” saw another stupid Ted Rall joke coming (sorry, Jeff) and cut her gentlemen off before he could complete the riddle.
At least, I THINK this is what is going on. In any event , that’s what made me laugh – hard – belatedly.
A rash. A nasty, nasty rash. <i>That’s</i> what the breadstick bimbo got.
Don’t go messin’ around with poppy seeds…
This whole, new-sprung anti-Rall cartoon genre thing is already getting out of control. Cool….

Word is that they were talking about “Terror Widows” on The View this morning, and they might have Rall on the show. Bill Hicks said it best: “It’s irony on a base level, but I’ll take it.”
I like this one very much. Not quite so tart as the last, which I liked, but which made me feel dirty. A thinking man’s comic, this one is.
What no one has commented on as of yet is the play of the “responses” off of the visuals, and the play of these comments off of both the visual text and the response texts.
I quite like the format, I must say. You’re on to something here.
