With Strange Brew, Deering -- famous for his biting humor and political savvy as chief editorial cartoonist for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette -- has an outlet for his creative sense of humor and quirky view of life.
"Being an editorial cartoonist today, you have to be tuned-in to pop culture as well as politics -- but there are some limits to what you can do," Deering says "In Strange Brew, everything’s fair game. I get to cut loose and draw anything."

Worse, the colonoscope rears it ugly head.

Anyone know when the “end is near” genre of cartoons first started appearing? And/or does anyone know what real world event started them? Was there an early doomsday cult that cartoonists were making fun of?

Never cross a proctologist. They’ll always get you in the end.
@Rp GG – There used to be guys that looked like that for real, especially back in 60’s-80’s California.

People have been predicting the end of the world since about a year after the Resurrection.

ENDoscope – an appropriately named piece of equipment.

At the endoscopic centers, they put scopes down your throat for upper G.I.s as well as colonoscopies. Just hope they use a different scope for the throat….or at least wash it off a bit.

My guess, and that’s really all it is.
would be The End is Near cartoons
we’re familiar with started showing
up in the 1920’s or early 30’s.
The beliefs of the sign -carrying
“prophets” are never specifically
stated aside from the statement
on the sign. The cartoons were
certainly a riff on some real-world
scenarios people were familiar
with.

Down your throat is right. I have to get an egd every other year. At least it’s way easier to prepare for than a colonoscopy. The only discomfort is you may have a slightly sore throat for a day or two.

It’s the prep that keeps you off the cycle the day before. : )
