He deserves it, but I'll miss him if he goes
I'll miss the anti cop part of him that re emerged every once in a while, I'll ironically miss the complete screwball crank part, but I cant say I'll miss the racism and far-right parts even a little and, in fact, welcome it.
Ben is so insufferable about the police. When Derrick Chauvinism murdered George Floyd with the help and cooperation of the MPD, Benny boy did a comic to shame then MPD.
But when Chauvin got sent to prison, at that point Ben became a “two charges of murder? I’m no expert, but this has gone too far!” type of guy.
Oh, if only the virus had a big label saying "VIRUS", this could have been prevented.
I share these feelings. Like it's the best outcome, but damn I'll miss his shit.
I wonder how many cartoons he has ready to go?
Like they kept Herman Cain tweeting after he died. I wonder how long they'll keep running already finished Garrison cartoons if he bites it.
They slowly start deteriorating. Like, it's clear the next one isn't fully colored. And then you get one that's just the ink outline. And then just a pencil sketch. And then... he's gone.
I'd like to see even less effort. Like ideas scribbled into notepads or on napkins. Screenshots of ideas in a notes file from his phone.
I was hoping to stay out of prison, but I'm going to his funeral and writing "dead" on his forehead.
On one hand, :sicko-crab:
On the other, if he dies we’re gonna be stuck with tina’s generic bad cartoons :sadness:
Well, we always have stonetoss. Unfortunately, he's a bit smarter so he'd be hard to troll.
Ever since he went on that rant about twinks, I suspected that he's not as invincible as he claims to be, and can translate to good lolcow potential.
Stonetoss is just a vile nazi shithead, there is zero humour to be mined from him. He should get covid or get flattened by a truck, or both.
Ben Garrison has a potent mix of American libertarian boomer brainworms and his mind palace is a thing of purity and beauty
Stonetoss art also just kinda sucks. Nobody is going to replicate the Ben Garrison style, because Ben Garrison actually refined his craft while using that incredible brain of his to do politics.
You'll never get a six-headed swamp monster with Chuck Schumer on one head-stalk and Henry Kissinger on another, doing some kind of weird occult ritual above a Natalie-Portman-goat-hybrid, where everything somehow still has room for labels. You'll just get the same barely-more-than-stick-figure cartoon of Conservative Guy saying "I like the flag" and Antifa Guy saying "I like standing in poop", with the final frame just being Conservative Guy staring across the fourth wall in mild annoyance. I could make a Stonetoss purely out of emojis and it would carry the same weight. I could never properly recreate the chimeras that leak out of Ben Garrison's skull.
It was an old tweet where he was LARPing as a big strong macho man and complained that the only reason women liked twinks is because they're too much of dum dumz to appreciate real masculinity and wanted, and I quote "a breastless woman".
wanted, and I quote “a breastless woman”
And he's goddamn right
Ugh, and Branco too, who doesn't have the same unintentional humor as Garrison.
Not going to hold my breath on this one. But it would be fitting if he survived and got long covid symptoms for the rest of his life lol. We need him to live, his cartoons are a tradition around here and his unhinged horniness makes him of the greats.
He already has brain damage, I wonder what :POG-19: is going to do to him
Does anyone know why people got so excited about ivermectin? Why is everyone wanting to take parasite medicine when they're sick with a virus? Why ivermectin when there's all kinds of other irrelevant medicines? It seems like it would be more fun to be demanding Adderall.
When the first seatbelt laws started coming out there were chuds who went full refusenik mode. Pamphlets stuck under windshields were made on how to remove seat belts from a car.
This group of chuds invented conspiracy theories about seat belts killing people. The idea that seatbelts kill then spawned the idea that the best way to survive an automobile accident was to fly through the windshield. Rumors circulated and spread among churches, bars, and old school mailing lists about which cars allowed one to fly through the windshield the easiest. Cars and trucks which had this feature were sought after in some circles for awhile.
When some of the more vociferous people who were against seatbelts and for flying through windshields started dying, so did most of the anti-seatbelt sentiment in America. It was a flash in the pan movement . The vast majority of current horsepaste-eating chuds will suddenly learn to love modern medicine when covid directly effects them or someone they care about. The true-believer paste eaters like the anti-seatbelt folk before them are just simple-minded reactionaries. Most of them won't learn that fire is hot until they are burned by it.

I know you're doing a (top-tier) bit here, but I feel the need to point out that my parents and grandparents used to complain that seat belts would, and I quote, "strangle you if you were in a car accident."
i didn't even read this as a bit.
my father (before i was born) drove drunk and crashed into a barrier, launching himself through his windshield. he believes not wearing the seatbelt saved his life for some reason and tried to pass along this "wisdom" to me. he said a seat belt will trap you in a car and burn you to death.
thankfully, this was after my mom had divorced him, because he was basically deadbeat shithead. so his lessons were fairly compartmentalized. he was also against flu shots, going to the doctor, going to the dentist, and pretty much anything that would be recommended by public health experts.
reactionary boomers were a very deranged breed and some of them will choose death before the dishonor of learning a lesson.
I'm still confused about how they settled on ivermectin when there's so many other medicines to take.
Well, ivermectin comes in apple-flavored paste form. Are covid vaccines fruit-flavored?
I bet you could get some of these people to vaccinate themselves by putting the vaccine inside a candy bar.
Does anyone else think a lot of these anti-vax grifters actually do get THE JAB but won't admit it for fear of losing their audience?
I'm still not convinced that Joe Rogan actually took the horse paste. I think it was just a stunt to be in headlines.

If he croaks I will cultivate myself a dump truck ass and label everything in my room in honour of a brave culture warrior and his comic strips o7
Fuck. Where are we gonna get our cum cartoons now? Dry Bones? Mallard Fucking Fillmore?
I don't want to live in a world without Ben "Cum" Garrison.
IDK, that's still a pretty horny comic. Maybe not his best work, but it's on brand.
