Nutty political cartoonist Joel Barbee has died. Our condolences to his family and friends. Politisink celebrates the life of a prolific birther cartoonist by showing some of his best work. At some point I was planning to do some retrospectives of various right wing crazy cartoonists, but Barbee has managed to get himself mentioned first!

Sooo many bad things I could say about this
Oops!
And I thought political cartoons were hard to understand before. I guess these are more like New Yorker cartoons in that the more obscure the joke is, the less sense it makes, the “better” is it.
I think the theory was Barbee was going more and more insane and his comics were getting more and more weird. He was given props for not stooping to the old “Pop culture thing with Us/Them labels” many of the current artists do.
