The picture shows this, but it means something else. Oh yes? Really? Yes, trump supporter, it's all a figment of your delusional imagination.

Original cartoon tweet 406 likes, the Explanation tweet - 56.

Ouch.

You know, if he wanted to add a bit of humour and make it funny he could have put Donald Charging in a golf cart, one of his signature looks. That would have actually been kinda thumbs up. But as it is its just a self deluded, nasty, unfunny piece of crap.

Not being able to at least have any kind of humour is death for a political cartoonist, no matter how talented an illustrator you are.

Oh I had a look at his twatter and he has yet another explination up.

They just don't get it do they?. I know the story of Don Quixote. Still, my cartoon is about Don TRUMP Quixote, and the windmill enemy is not imagined—it is real. That’s why the windmill is running away. It’s a metaphor combined with artistic license
Number of likes? 57.

I don't think you are getting your 200K followers back, Ben. (He now has 11k)

Perfect casting! I read several chapters of Don Quixote in Spanish in my third year high school Spanish class. I didn't finish the book. Does that count? :biggrin:

Has Garrison heard the phrase "tilting at windmills"?

Does he know what it means?

Does he know where it came from?

Garrison is ignorant.

Which makes him the perfect Trump supporter.

Also AFAIK the "Don" was not part of his name. It was a title, like "sir."

Garrison's cartoons are not exactly lucid.

I'm not sure what the deal with Fetterman's looks is. He doesn't look any worse than most of the people who show up for tfg rallies. And his looks aren't legislating.
Edit: Fixed stupid typo.
