Here’s the cartoon
“Wealthcare”
A great cartoon, which would have been quickly forgotten. Now it will be in history books (if there are still history books in the future).
who are the bootlickers supposed to be? jeffbezos and? elon?
Bozos, Zuckerberg, Altman, Soon-Shiong, and The Mouse.
Could add Tim Cook to the cartoon now as well
I don’t know if “Bozos” was intentional or not, but it makes sense.
EDIT: And of course, an autocorrect-induced typo in my reply. The future sucks.
Wow, I was expecting something graphic, but its totally on point. Harmless self-awareness.
Heck, Bezos wouldn’t mind.
The only reason he and anyone cares is that “accepting” it would make the president elect throw a Twitter tantrum, or at least pass-aggress Bezos… Sometimes, I can’t believe this is where we are.
“Democracy dies in darkness.” Someone remind me where that’s from…
Bob Woodward of the WP ironically enough.
That was the joke.
It’s interesting that you can tell it’s trump and you only see his hands and feet.
It’s that in unhinged ass-out shoulders forward stance that clinches it for me.
And the teeny tiny hands
And the oversized suit and tie.
So, the paper claims this was denied because it’s redundant with their other content. But this is literally the first time
hisher cartoon has been rejected and apparentlyheshe felt strongly enough to quit.Just so you know, the cartoonist (Wikipedia) is a woman.
Thanks for the correction. I don’t know how I missed that and apparently I need to check my biases.
I would not have figured out that she meant Bezos in that cartoon and I’m sure I’m far from alone. But apparently that was still too far.
Editorial independence!
I donno, I think I wouldve guessed on first glance. His look is pretty unique and the cartoon is spot on. Its like drawing an orange with yellow pubes.
How many Americans do you think could even pick Jeff Bezos out of a lineup? Even if they’re Post readers?
I would hope around 99%
99%? Do you know nothing about America? 99% of people couldn’t identify the president.
Half of Americans think that Facebook has to guarantee their free speech rights and 1 in 10 don’t even know who George Washington was.
They literally see George Washington all the time and don’t know who he was. Why on Earth would they know what Jeff Bezos looks like?
Yes Im aware that 99% is not realistic, I was exaggerating with the ‘hope’ part. But even if it is just 50%, that was not the point. Most cartoons and news articles arent resonating with more than a small percentage of the population.
Bit of Streisand Effect going on here. If they didn’t reject the cartoon, I probably wouldn’t have seen it.
