saturday march 18 2017 history in the unmaking miss hope n change then head over to the all new stilton s place fresh cartoons and commentary every monday wednesday and friday from the hope n change crew posted by stilton jarlsberg 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday january 26 2017 stilton crazy after all these years materials will remain available to ahem check out wow here we are after 8 years of ups downs and the intense insanity of the obama administration we ve finally reached the last day of hope n change cartoons at least for the foreseeable future i d like to say things that are grandiose and moving but who the heck needs that kind of pressure if lincoln had known beforehand that generations of kids were going to have to memorize every jot and tittle of the gettysburg address he probably would have gotten writer s block and a migraine moreover if you re reading this odds are good that you ve already heard my opinions on pretty much everything you know where my heart is and why i reflexively twitch when i hear the word obamacare you know that i love this country love those who have fought and died for our freedoms and hope passionately that our nation has a bright future ahead of course that s only going to happen if we all continue to work towards that goal and i really mean all people of different political beliefs races economic strata and whatever passes for gender these days i m worried about that because obama s primary legacy well other than the wild pendulum swing presidency of donald trump is one of hatred and anger with american pitted against american we see it every day now with the left literally going out of its mind declaring folks like us to be hatemongers trump to be the new hitler and the formerly united states of america to be a vicious fascist state most of these people aren t evil they re decent folks who are frightened and who have been lied to and demonizing them would only be playing into obama s game unfortunately these people will not be swayed by words or logic let alone delightfully witty webcomics but will eventually have to have their opinions changed by actual successes from the trump administration successes so large and tangible that there can be no denying them which is the same standard we should all use to judge every presidency but even that may not be enough to convince those few who take an ugly pride in cultivating closed minds cutting off communications to those with whom they disagree or who simply lack the critical ability to process information anymore today i saw a story saying that facebook where many people get their news god help us has instituted new algorithms to make sure that no more fake news ever appears on their list of breaking stories so what was at the top of their list of non fake news today this little gem disclaimer the views expressed are not those of anyone sane the person to blame is donald trump surprise but who the hell are these scientists and by what power of scientific precognition are they able to foretell apocalypse or reset the hands of the preposterously named and entirely bogus doomsday clock fake news doesn t get any faker than this and it can come from the left or the right we need to cultivate skepticism while trying not to lapse into cynicism looking back at 8 years of hope n change i m proud of the fact that the cartoons and commentaries hold up as accurate and truthful i m proud of the fact that my vigorous opposition to obama and the progressive agenda was never based on blind hatred but on disagreement with actual policies and pronouncements i genuinely gave this president a chance but it didn t take him long to show himself wholly unworthy of his high office some business items the hope n change website isn t going anywhere it will be maintained so that you can visit anytime sort of like going to disneyworld without needing to wait in lines in the next week or two i ll post a new welcoming page in which your hostess with the mostess busty ross will greet visitors and direct them to the easy to use search function that will let you time travel through thousands of hnc cartoons and posts about news stories as they developed over the years if you ve never played with this you re missing a treat in the near future i ll probably make ebook collections of hope n change available perhaps each ebook representing a year i ve already found a service that can help me convert the content and whatever i end up with will be offered as inexpensively as possible maybe even free i m not really a red hot businessman the hope n change facebook page will remain active and i ll probably post some new cartoons over there from time to time albeit based on spontaneous impulse rather than an actual schedule i can t emphasize enough that you should put your contact information on my email list look at the top left column on this page i ll never spam you but i surely will have foolishness to contact you about from time to time as i discover new avenues of mischief making johnny optimism my other webcomic will continue publishing every monday wednesday and friday heck i ll even lift the ban on political comments over there in case any of you want to post funny leprosy gag stilt by the way did you catch the total dick move by schumer today i m going to genuinely miss every one of you and i m not going to expound on that right now because clan macgregor is genuinely foul scotch at the best of times and its taste will not be improved by tears and snot probably i ll be back i don t yet know how when or in what form but i have no more ability to restrain my creative impulses than a tourette s patient has to stop shouting obscenities in fact my creative impulses may actually be a form of tourette s in which case i m hoping to get it named after me and one last thing some of you have voiced concern that lefty lucy may fall on hard times considering that she ll be losing her internship here at the hope n change office tower and has no demonstrable job skills happily something has already opened up for her soooo that s it for now though i ll meet you all for drinks and party hats in the comments section it s genuinely been an honor and a privilege to be your host not that i m calling you parasites for the past 8 years i made the jokes but you made the community and for that i will always be grateful stilton jarlsberg truth in advertising my hair turned white during obama s first year in office posted by stilton jarlsberg 145 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday january 25 2017 hope n change a dimly remembered history harp glissandos are more magical when you don t see who s playing them as hope n change wraps up 8 years of publication it seems like a good time to take a nostalgic stroll down memory lane the better to answer the question that is on so many lips what the hell were you thinking as preamble i ll say that for my entire adult life i ve earned my living by writing comedy in various forms for radio television print and even film long before obama was on the horizon one of my favorite gigs was writing topical comedy punchlines every evening which would then be faxed to radio dj s nationwide to use on their morning shows to prove they were spontaneous and witty around the same time to keep my writing skills in practice i started taking odd pieces of old black white clipart and adding multiple goofy captions i called those cartoons never published anywhere earwigs as a tribute to the nightmarish insects which are alleged to crawl into people s ears burrow into their brains and cause madness because that s the sort of thing i find funny this is an earwig cartoon it may or may not be laying eggs in your brain i liked playing with the clipart because while i loved to doodle i wasn t really a terrific cartoonist but if i d drawn this with my foot you d be impressed right one of my favorite comic strips at the time 2008 was the wonderfully dark and demented red meat by max cannon his highly stylized retro look characters would change very little if at all from frame to frame and the comedy all came from the writing to my delight i discovered that the red meat website allowed users to try making their own comic strips by selecting the characters and giving them dialogue here are a few of my early efforts none of which are any sicker than the actual comic strip yes i could genuinely enjoy writing this kind of thing all day that s when i had an epiphany or maybe it was scotch i could assemble my own cast of distinctive characters from properly licensed clipart and do a comic strip with a little investigation i discovered the program comiclife which made it easy to drag and drop from a library of images and add word balloons but what should be my subject on something of a lark little knowing how much time i d eventually devote to giving others the bird i decided on hope n change inspired by the still fresh and singularly idiotic presidential victory of barack hussein obama seriously the man won based on preposterously meaningless slogans like yes we can hope and change and we are the ones we ve been waiting for he had no successful track record of legislation or management and for those who bothered to read his autobiographies which didn t include the news media he had an exalted view of himself and a dim view of america with a complete lack of understanding how blogging works i published the first cartoons under the hope n change banner in january 2009 not every cartoon that week was political although this one was my choice of retro artwork was more than just a nod to red meat it was intended to echo the unsubtle black and white campaign promises which obama had made and the american people had fallen for additionally i liked the contrast between the nostalgic classic americana look and the radical social upheaval being pushed by the democrats by february 2009 i d barely figured out what i was doing and began a daily publication schedule that s right 7 times a week actually that daily schedule was pretty easy to maintain because i was publishing just the cartoon with m...
