As they say, it's not the size of the blog, but the skill with which it has been written. And... HOLY SHIT, what a ride. 😳 We start with the main story, featuring dirty bathwater soap and the equally nauseating Donnie Douchebag and Couch Boy. Then we go to amusingly crazy trolls who take a sharp turn towards not-amusingly crazy; I am GLAD AS HELL that GoComics banned him, but just the fact that someone that scary-creepy is allowed to roam free is disturbing AF. And then the Weirdo Magnet on WiFi. 🤣🤣🤣 Oh, how I relate to that. I mean, I am a weirdo, myself, but of the Mostly Harmless variety, not the Step Back Slowly And GTFO variety. Anyway, it was something to read on break at work, and it almost made my job look normal. Almost. Stay safe, man.
Hey Clay! I always love reading your blogs and this one was one of your best, other than it being a little too short 😉. Also love your musical diversity. Thanks!🤗
Clay, you outdid yourself today! Someone above wrote a good recap so I’m not even going to try here.
So much to chew on on your blog tonight. my husband knows that when I really get laughing, I start snorting. Well I started snorting at the appropriate moment about dolphins.
I haven’t watched the news for a few days and haven’t missed a thing, apparently. But your daily editorial, cartoon and blog always help me understand the world.
I love your sense of humour, Clay ... love your 'toons and your commentary. NOBODY should have to put up with their personal life or those within their circle being ridiculed or threatened ... EVER! This, sadly, is the world we live in today. I am very careful NOT to mention my location on my blog, as I've had two death threats in recent years. Take care, Clay, and thank you for all you do.
Was mystified about Maghats being into Sydney Sweeney. I guess they are folks who see The Handmaid's Tale and root for Aunt Lydia & Commander. PS: Brooke Shields & her Calvins was, um. the 1980s--oh, the originality of the advertising world.
I'm sure by now that the link in Claytoonz opens to GoComics, or maybe not because it is 9AM and it still doesn't work.
Anyway, I thought that the new and improved GoComics was screening the trolls. I only check out a few cartoonists every so often and never read the comments.
As for FB, I gave up my subscription a long time ago and am happier for that.
I started a response and started laughing - and could not stop. @claytoonz you are just too awesome! This blog is probably one of your best yet. This might sound horrible but I'm pleased the MAGAits read your toons because it means they are stepping out of their comfort zone reading you and you are getting under their redhats. The libel though - unacceptable, totally unacceptable. Are we permitted to counter-quote??? Your fact-checker is an awesome person
There are so many levels of "eeewww" about this cartoon and blog that I almost had to get some anti-nausea meds. Between Hitler posing, the Toddler Turd gushing over Sydney's hot-ness and MAGA getting all defensive and bent out of shape about the tone-deaf/fido-whistle of the American Eagle jeans campaign, I also came close to calling my opthmalogist about the strain from rolling my eyes. What saved me from seeking medical help was when I got to the part of the blog about being a freak-magnet. I had to thank God that I didn't need to pee because I laughed so hard. Everything would have been a mess requiring replacement of my couch (yeah JD should burn his couch) and me wearing adult diapers when perusing future Claytoonz (noooo I'm not ready for that yet because I'll have to get bigger jeans). A pee-pee accident (that will not be on any Russian video) would have meant me getting a full physical from my internist to address all the malfunctioning organs.
MAGA folks seem to be getting desperate to find something to distract themselves if they are whining about poor poor Sydney who is making gobs of moolah being the Republican starlet of the moment. After 6 months of MAGA drama as they destroy democracy, civil rights and civility, I'm just amused and delighted to remind all the GOP guppies (a.k.a. Goppies) that voted for this regime: "This is what you voted for!"
The PR company that produced that jeans campaign with Sydney could have escaped the racist tone of the ad if they had a series of famous people and their parent(s) of different races/ethnicities celebrating the versatility and universal love for jeans. But emphasizing the "blue" as if that's the only color worthy for jeans just reflects their self-absorbed racist view, whether or not that was their intent. It's not as if American Eagle only sells blue jeans. I checked their website. They sell black jeans too, along with white shirts and a whole lot of other colors of apparel. So I'm gonna wait for the ad campaign that will get me all hot and bothered enough to buy jeans. Maybe with some famous senior citizen hottie with black eyes or black hair or black skin touting black jeans, or green eyed hotties touting green jeans, or hazel eyed sex symbols touting brown jeans ... because blue jeans are pretty common and I can get a wide variety from sooo many stores and brands. Meanwhile, I'll try to not roll my eyes at MAGA and I'll remind myself to empty my bladder before I look at any Claytoonz. Thank you for continuing to entertain us Clay!
Yes, consult an attorney. That person stepped WAY over the line, and he needs to know there could be consequences. I’m sorry that people are so shitty.
Right wingers have to distract themselves from all the bad Trump related news, so they freak out about ads or busses or whatever else boils to the top of that cesspit they have as a collective "mind".
Newt Gingrich, back in the day, started up a fax service that blasted out faxes on the "RW daily news" to political cartoonists, RW members of Congress and op ed writers. I expect they use an email listserve service now, but it's the same thing.

Of all the things you made me envision today, I think the worst is Hitler in a jeans ad. Also, Kristen Bell and Helen Mirren are excellent choices.

I hope that’s sarcasm.
Well, Erica DID use the Sarcasm Emoji. 😉
BTW…
🥳 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! 🥳
#🏴 #🏴 #🏴
I don't see that as a sarcasm emoji. I thought the sign for sarcasm was /s. And yeah, I was pretty sure she was being sarcastic.
Get a lawyer, sue for libel. We'll try to support ya here and on GoComic.
PS Tom Cruise owns a P51 Mustang, does many of his stunts, but if he's a secret agent its a secret.

Thanks again for all you do to keep us sane!
lol! Lol! Lol! You have cleared up some topics for me while entertaining me as well. What a life you live.
I love your sense of humour, Clay ... love your 'toons and your commentary. NOBODY should have to put up with their personal life or those within their circle being ridiculed or threatened ... EVER!

Awwww ... thank you so very much!!! 💖

I didn't know it wasn't working. I'll fix it.

Good blog Clay.

That last point is a very good point to consider.
