Why is it seemingly impossible for political cartoonists to draw a public figure with realistic proportions? Why does every person have to look like an exaggerated caricature of what an actual person would look like?
Because political cartoons are meant to be caricatures.

*Groans*

Drawing proportionally is HARD!
I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

If they were all done in proportion with lifelike figures, all the cartoons would look like Mary Worth.

Have I mentioned that Communist Russia propaganda posters (or propaganda posters done in that style) have always been extremely intriguing to me?

And he's also stupid on other issues.





Is this from the same school of genius that ran with the whole 'Stephen Hawking would have died had he been British and treated by the NHS' (He is and he was)?

I really don't get this argument. One of the largest complaints against insurance companies is THIS EXACT THING. So basically what would happen is, nothing would change except your procedure would be guaranteed. How is this bad?

So I should trust the guy who wants me to pay an arm and a leg for a "remedy" that hasn't been scientifically tested instead?
