KEEP COMICS EVIL
Again, why? (Attentiondeficitdisorderly Too Flat)
Apparently Ted Rall decided to reprise his "King Maus" shtick with regards to the comics that have been running in the New York Times , repeating his absurd hyperbolic accusations of censorship because someplace is running the kinds of comics he doesn't like as opposed to the comics made by him and his friends, and indulging in the sort of "altcomix are all navel-gazing stories about depressed white people for the New Yorker set" hogwash you'd expect from a Newsarama comment thread troll. Why are we acting like this argument is worth engaging? Why am I even posting about it? About the only worthwhile thing Rall's rant has to offer is that it might make other critics think twice the next time they're tempted to talk about how great "bombthrowing" or "just starting the conversation" is.

Rall should be happy that, for one more year, he didn't get killed by Santa.
