Get Your War On!

Some people believe that the defining conflict of our era is Islamofascism vs. the permissive culture of Western Civilization, others think it is Blue State liberalism vs. Red State family values, and a few will tell you that it is Kenny vs. Spenny.

These people are all idiots. The defining conflict of our time is Accounts Receivable vs. Accounts Payable. Get Your War On, based on the clip art comic of the same name by David Rees, is now a weekly video series on 236.com. Here are a couple of the best episodes.

Sarah Palin and the Rape Kits
“Sarah Palin and the rape kits? Sounds like a punk band. Are they good?”

You Are Loved
“Josh Groban would never say something like that!”

(I tried to embed those videos here, but for some reason that wasn’t working.)

Here’s an old article by Doug Paton from the Ryerson Review of Journalism that explains the origin of the comic.

The Parking Lot Is Full

Question All AuthorityI was delighted when this comic came across Reddit yesterday. The original poster had simply stolen the image and removed the name of the comic. Luckily, the all-knowing commenters identified the original source as The Parking Lot is Full, a comic originally published in The Imprint, the student newspaper at the University of Waterloo. Browsing through the comic’s archives, I was reminded of a similar comic we had at UWO during my time there, our beloved Horovitz.

UPDATE: It turns out that the best place to view old Horovitz cartoons is a Facebook Group.
