If you read his whole archive, he takes pot shots at both cons and libs. I hear cons whine about him, too. I guess it just depends on what he's drawing about. He seems to be just right of center, and like most centrists, a good target for irate right wingers and left wingers.

A Neo-con wouldn't draw this:

Nor all those cartoons clowning GW, for that matter.

I found some of them fairly amusing. Then again I'm an almost perfect centrist myself. Although I prefer "Balanced Extremist", which is also accurate all my extreme ideas balance them selves out, like Pro-Life and Pro Death penalty(Kill 'em all basically.). Being a centrist kinda sucks, you virtually guarantee no presidential candidate matches up with you more than 50%.

... I should've explained that you knew me as PeanutM4Ms. Sorry, man.

I find the guy's cartoons kind of obnoxious overall - but I think that's probably just political conflict.

(... well, also, I get a vague whiff of OMGCOMMIE from some strips that I find just abrasive. The Cold War? Over. Years ago.)

Uh, but, yeah. I do like some of the strips, too. Again, I think it's a politics/opinion thing, really.

... and I think I do have a recipe to share that I've been enjoying for a while. I replied to your comment before checking out what your response in your journal was, obviously. It'll take a while for me to do that, though - things will have to be a bit more stable accesswise before I can do that.

If the cartoon is pissing off both sides half the time, it's centrist. If it's pissing you off all the time and not the buddy you argue with everyday, it's opposite wing. If it pisses you and your argumentative buddy all the time, it's wacko-winged. Something like that.

And I knew who you were. : p

Actually, I think there's a new Cold War starting up. Better get GW out of office, quick.

Christ, yes.

We need a new Cold War like we need something... uh, something painful and unnecessary. Which is what a Cold War would be. I lose at metaphors. :(
