Henry Payne for January 21, 2020

Payne loves division.

I resemble that remark.

This is proof that Payne CAN draw in his sleep.

I didn’t care about this…but now I am rooting for the niners.

Another of Payne’s ‘tools’ … absurd stereotyping?

I never know what this guy is talking about…..

Guy in truck loves corn but hates gas with ethanol (but not for the reasons he should). Drives a large vehicle for commuting, never hauls anything but people (and not in the bed)

Guy in car loves Apple (so does Rush Limbaugh) Votes Pelosi, (have you seen the proposals of her GOP challengers?) Cars fuel?

Don’t watch gladiator games so don’t care who wins. Don’t expect either to go to the White House after.

Of course, the guy in the truck lives in a trailer park and the guy in the Tesla has at least a masters degree and makes well into six figures, not counting his stock grants and bonuses.

KC is more liberal than Sacramento … but why let facts get in the way of a preconceived assumption? https://www.forbes.com/sites/naomishavin/2014/08/11/the-most-conservative-and-most-liberal-cities-in-america

and… https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/results/missouri-president-clinton-trump

Payne should draw the KC guy writing a thank you letter to Baltimore. The SF guy should probably also be thanking Baltimore, for that matter.

Unless SF tanks badly, they’re going to slaughter KC like a steer for a BBQ! It’s one thing to give up big leads against terrible teams that shouldn’t even be in the playoffs, and then come back to win, but it will be a very different game against a Niners team who actually belongs in the Superbowl.

One of the defining traits of right wingers is their constant propensity of dragging politics into matters unrelated. It’s like a proxy war for their brainworms. They’re short on allies, so they try to spark up more division via football teams, or cars, or food (Arugula! Dijon mustard!), or anything else they can make hay of.

In this particular case, Henry does not seem to realize both cities are pretty liberal, and so defaults to red state/blue state, which is about as complex a situation as the chud mind can handle. Also, he unsurprisingly included cars in his little thesis. Here, we have the burly alpha male in his plaid shirt and trucker cap, driving his big bad lifted pickup – you know, the kind that are commonly spotted getting stuck in parking garages and can’t take a turn at more than 15mph for fear of tipping over – vs the tiny liberal (with I guess, a ponytail?) in his little compact Tesla.

It’s all hilariously petty as it is, but then he had to throw in some “I (heart) corn/apple” bumper stickers – because those are definitely a thing, just in case all the above wasn’t clear enough to the dim bulbs he’s aiming for.

Pander: (intransitive verb) To cater to the lower tastes and desires of others or exploit their weaknesses.

“I (heart) corn” bumper sticker; note that Mr. Trump’s foreign policy and dealings with China pretty much crippled the China produce market. So now, it’s “I can’t sell the da*n corn for what it cost me to produce!”

Another Payne car toon. yawn. This time politicizing a sports game. Pro-tip. Both teams are owned by billionaires and look to make money off supporters for the sake of entertainment. The location of the team actually makes no difference, except for the people who live in that community.

If this is what Payne thinks of KC and San Francisco he has clearly never been west of the Mississippi.

This is such a meaningful image… not!

Payne always makes the most sense when he manages to draw a cartoon with vehicles that fit the message. This is one of his most thoughtful and insightful in quite a long time. So of course it’s about… football !

I’m rooting for no one getting permanent brain damage.
