Pick yer fave cartoon from the Union of Concerned Scientists

x = 4 wins for being actually how this city works

"the NSA doesn't allow the use of 2 for sensitive work."
"the GSA contract for 2's is priced out of our program's budget, so we're substituting."
"2 doesn't come with a five year support plan from the vendor."
"2 is kind of seen as partisan right now."

These are all as painfully unfunny as anything on the batshit thread.

otm

they are editorial cartoons, yes.

I like the pleasantly cartoony style of #8

Most of them don't seem to be aiming for "funny," though.

"Excavating Truth" seems like the most concise and elegant of them -- just a good, simple, powerful visual summary of the gist of the whole thing.

"Mis-Information" is kinda the same deal, and major points for the face on that politician, but it just doesn't have as much punch.

x = 4 is clever, the rest are meh

worst = 9

yeah poor man's tom tomorrow there

They really are kind of painful, which is too damn bad, because this is probably the most important issue overall these days.

#7 brushes closest to a tasteless BSRW cartoon

not that asbestos victims don't deserve honor and respect obv.

I don't get the x=4 one, I feel stupid :(

The bureaucracy has dictated that the obvious, correct answer is against policy, so the math is left to be nonsensical and useless. But in accordance with policy, which is the important thing.

Oh so theres nothing more to it? How... dry.

#1 is the only ha ha funny one
