Al Goodwyn Editorial Cartoons by Al Goodwyn for January 05, 2022

If I thought for a moment that Ol’ Al was actually interested in resolving the conundrum of how to do best for kids while in the midst of a pandemic, I’d almost like this cartoon. Except for the idiocy of “allowed” a gender identity. Believe me or not, kids know their gender within months of becoming aware of themselves as being part of the family “pack”. They may not… probably won’t… be verbal about it, and they may very well play dress up to see how it works for them; the canonical example being the kid in a tutu and cowboy boots. Well. Anyway, I’m sure that Al isn’t at all interested in that. He’s on a mission to make liberals seem as stupid and wrongheaded as possible, in every way possible, always.

Too bad it only works on people who are already  convinced of that.

The conservatives parody of liberals is hilarious. What you’re really mocking is is a group of people that know they have an obligation to protect their fellow citizens’ health and to allow children to grow up to be what they were meant to be. A sharp contrast to conservatives.

The parental wokester will do far more harm to the kid’s mental well-being than covid itself would do. Keep your political views and ideology out of your parental responsibilities – that goes for the left and right.

BOO HISS!

Great ‘toon! Typical Libs! Let’s go, Brandon!

I see the supply chain problems are not affecting Al getting his two daily bowls of stupid sprinkled with bovine excrement.

rs0204 under @opspecial’s thread >— So, you seek out insults? Why?

I believe that’s called masochism.

I find it strange that the current conservatives are now concerned about the mental health of children. In the past they could give a crap about the effects of poverty or racism on the mental health of children.

Just like republican racists made their own schools for whites only after segregation ended.

When I was young, back in the dark ages, gender and sex were officially just the same thing. As I look back, I can see that things were actually more complicated, but we didn’t talk about those complications. In retrospect, it’s clear to me that one of my elementary school friends who was officially a girl was really not so comfortable being a girl. And then later on, in high school, our music teacher and our librarian “shared an apartment”—I’m willing to bet they were a couple, but no one ever said anything about it. And when I was in high school I was aware that there was some sexual experimentation going on, but in those days no one “came out”. That happened later. The more I have lived and learned about people, the more I see variation. People should be given the opportunity to be what they are. It must be really unpleasant to have to live your life pretending to be something else.

Funny, this could work for Al as well, except he doesn’t know if he’s allowed to know if he’s a political cartoonist, or just someone on a bad trip (see my Lewis Carroll comment from yesterday).

“If his reality and the real world were drawn as a Venn diagram, you’d need a strong magnifying glass to see the intersection. Lewis Carroll would have been jealous of his twisted view of the world and would have wondered what drugs Al used to achieve this level of disassociation with reality.”

Gee, the way Goodwyn lies, you’d think he was paid by the RNC.

please don’t feed the troll. let’s ban opspecial!

sigh

Thanks, Al! Do you hear the Sodomites singing?

If they haven’t “allowed” a gender identity yet, how does the lady on the left know the kid is a “he”?
