WTF?

How in hell does this cartoon pass the scrutiny of logic?

Obviously the Observer has no sensible editors in that grand building of theirs.

Maybe the cartoonist needs to expand his horizons a little, read something other than porn, and maybe he will know that there is far, far more to read than pornography.

The guvament’s tax on books will guarantee that more Jamaicans will be as dumb as he is.

Pornographic magazines represent less than 1% of the reading material available in bookstores and pharmacies, but he would know this if he had set foot in one of the same establishments wherein his books have been sold.

Clovis has zero creativity and credibility left,  but as long as Butch ah pay him he will continue to be Butch’s bitch.

…

Besides, everybody knows there is far more porn on the internet.

Free too.

Butch’s Bitch Again?!?

A few questions about this cartoon:

1. Are they implying that the failed economy is the fault of the BOJ Governor?
If so, I was unaware that the BOJ Governor was in charge of the economy. Silly me.

2. My Ignorance abounds, could they explain to me how the BOJ Governor was responsible for the slide of the Ja. Dollar?

3. Why the different versions of the cartoons?

Print version differences include:

• A top hat instead of the pointed dunce cap.
• T-shirt says: “Jamaica NO Problem”.
• No dogs.
• An extra yellow paper with “WE PUT HIGH INTEREST FIRST!”

Did the lawyers advise Clovis to remove the dunce cap? Could it have been seen as defamatory?

And was the extra flyer added at Butch’s request to deliberately mimic the PNP’s “We put people first!” slogan of a few elections past?

Sure they will claim that the artist wasn’t pleased with one version and therefore fine tuned it.

Or that multiple versions were done and the wrong one was used (either print or online).

…

Whatever the reason, the common elements could very well be misleading.

What is funny is that the PNP has been on the right side of many arguments of late and this feels like Butch and his Bitch of an artist is trying anything to deflect from the guvament’s ineptitude.

Butch’s Bitch …again

Sunday 24th of August, 2008. Yet another depiction of our nations educators as pirates.

I suppose I should be relieved that this time they are not depicted holding a blade to a child’s throat.

Clovis, the cartoonist, was once universally respected by all. Even some of the stinging cartoons ridiculing the political parties did not insult the readers. Now however, he seems to be merely parroting the views of the Observer chairman, who is now staunchly pro JLP. To the point, that rather than pour scorn on the disgraceful pronouncements branding our nation’s educators as extortionists, have instead sided with the Bruce and continues to do so almost daily.

Clovis must really need to eat a food.
