Tom Toles, Fearless Tyrant Killer

Jim Geraghty at TKS compares and contrasts this doodler's treatment of Bush and the despot Bashar Assad.

After savaging Bush for weeks, he decides it's time to get tough on the illegally-occupying tyrant Assad... by portraying him as, well, Winnie the Pooh.

Tough stuff, Toles. To riff on Geraghty's joke, maybe soon we'll see Osama bin Ladin portrayed as Daffy Duck. Or, if he's feeling espcially tough-guy as regards despots and killers, perhaps he'll even go so far as portraying al-Zarqawi as Marvin the Martian.

Pultizer him! I haven't seen such savage commentary since Maureen Dowd made the maverick and courageous observation that "everyone was to blame" for Lewinskygate.

I think Jim Garaghty is missing the keen, incisive brilliance of this cartoon.

JG misses the point because he says that this is "one of the most beloved and harmless Disney characters of all time!"

You aren't missing anything, but only improve JG's suggestion by a measure of 10 with Marvin the Martian.

What JG obviously doesn't understand is that Toles is probably making an entirely imossible to see reference to the lawsuits between Milne's progeny and Disney. Furthermore, Walt Disney is the perfect example of today's capitalist Evil, which is American consumerism in all of its glory. And Milne wasn't known for his parenting skills.

I think that Tole was trying to place Pooh Bear as Asaad because he was placing Asaad on the same plane as the Evil Disney corporation and the suffering child of Milne's creation, Pooh. Milne's son was mistreated, and Asaad suffered the same mistreatment while living in London while his father was murdering by the tens of thousands.

So, we have here a brilliant comparison of Assad to Pooh; nothing wrong with that. It's got all of the ingredients of today's warped lefty wingnut philosophy: child abandonment, pysich distance, greedy consumerism, and Evil American corporations. And let's not forget, moral equivalence.

It'd make Ward Churchill proud.

Best regards,

It's a bad thing to mess with the mouse's copyrights. Maybe he'll get sued.

Chris Muir is such a better toonist.

Toles replaced Herblock. Herblock was dumb, unimaginitive, predictable, and a bad drawer.
Toles can draw a little better.
The WaPost has really sucked for years. Only their sports page is worth a glance.

Yeah, well. that, as we all know is a bigger more impressive threat than his being invaded, or nuked.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
