 by NineInchNachos on 7/22/2008 @ 9:48am | Dear friends, For anybody who has been the victim of a friendly fire attack from one of these newfangled flying machines I recommend this book by tacoma's own Mr. Jeff Becker.. www.speaktotheheart.org/ It sure helped me out of a few pickles. |

by NineInchNachos on 7/22/2008 @ 10:08am | The first Tacomic to appear in glorious 'smudge-o-vision' which helped create the smog of jet-A fuel exhaust and pay tribute to one of the great anti-war artists... mr. Goya
@dawn - kevin takes good pics! |

by Mofo from the Hood on 7/22/2008 @ 11:50am | Like I need to tell you about conspiracies. The world is structured to beat people down. |
by NineInchNachos on 7/22/2008 @ 12:05pm | that's just what they want you to believe. It's a beautiful world |
by Mofo from the Hood on 7/22/2008 @ 12:15pm | Devo also said, "When a problem comes around, you must whip it."
Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. |
 by Erik on 7/22/2008 @ 12:32pm | Very strong political cartoon RR. Great show of contrast without straining to do so. Some kind of "abandonment" sign on the Elks may have added something too. |
by NineInchNachos on 7/22/2008 @ 1:42pm | Elks is one giant abandonment metaphor in itself
@mofo, you're taking a page right out of the liberal playbook... mixing new wave band references. Talking Heads =! Devo |
by Mofo from the Hood on 7/22/2008 @ 6:15pm | To survive in a counterculture you gotta have counterintelligence. Or in the least, ever changing moods. |

 by izenmania on 7/28/2008 @ 8:06am | I noticed that this weeks volcano featured the old classic Tacoma Urbanist Action Figure. Was the content of this cartoon deemed objectionable? I can't really see why.
I hope it's not because of fear for cross-pollinating objections based on the Volcano's sister publication, The Fort Lewis Ranger. But I am struggling to see anything that's could be deemed unprintable on the level of the cop/kkk high five. |
by NineInchNachos on 7/28/2008 @ 11:08am | this was purely an economical decision. The volcano is a little paper and cannot risk to offend her advertisers. you will see/read nothing that ever criticizes (or might be interpenetrated as criticism ) : 1. airforce/army/navy(?) 2. BCPA 3. EQC FeedTacoma has no corporate sponsors and therefore is beholden to none (well if you don't count sitecrafting). BTW, Are they hiring? ;) |
by NineInchNachos on 7/28/2008 @ 11:20am | also for the record, this cartoon was not an attack on the airforce. That would be like attacking a screwdriver for the faults of the screwdriver operator.
This was an attack on the arms industry + civilian leadership |
by izenmania on 7/28/2008 @ 11:52am | Just because Kevin COULD go through and delete any anti-SiteCrafting propaganda that one might spread on f>>t doesn't necessarily mean he would... |
by Erik on 7/28/2008 @ 12:32pm | I noticed that this weeks volcano featured the old classic Tacoma Urbanist Action Figure. Was the content of this cartoon deemed objectionable? I can't really see why. Nice catch izenmania. I am afraid it's true. The Volcano censored RR Anderson's Tacomic this week. For now, RR Anderon's Tacomic for this week still looks to be up on Feed Tacoma. For now at least. This is the second known Volcano censorship of a Tacomic. Here was the first: Meanwhile, RR Anderson did not fair as well in this week's Volcano. Fresh from his successful Tacomic party, Anderson now finds his work stifled. Sure enough, the Volcano ran a Tacomic of his as they do every week: ... For better or worse, the Weekly Volcano censored RR Anderson's Tacomic this week. Yet, many readers will no doubt be seeing the Russell Tacomic for the first time so it certainly wasn't a waste. In fact, it may even be more relevant and popular. i.feedtacoma.com/Erik/volcano-features-d... Is there a censorship conspiracy in Tacoma? Who is pulling the strings on acceptable art? Most troubling is the Tacomic was not in any way slanderous or obscene. It appears to have been pulled for the subject matter alone, the worst reason. Who was able to pressure the Volcano to cave in and censor RR Anderson's Tacomic? Is meaningful public discourse off-limits in Tacoma? |
 by ensie on 7/28/2008 @ 5:57pm | Way to run from any potential controversy, Volcano. Just another reason why they suck. I love how they want to be this cool "alternative news-source" but they can't even print a comic that might be conveyed as the least bit controversial. I understand that it might offend some advertisers, and they are apparently always hurting for cash, but don't pretend to be something you're not. |
by NineInchNachos on 7/28/2008 @ 6:59pm | Don't listen to her Volcano , I, RR Anderson, your humble political cartoonist still loves you--You're way cooler than the tacoma weekly. and 100 times cooler than the business examiner.
|
by ensie on 7/28/2008 @ 10:12pm | I'm pretty sure they stopped listening to me a long time ago RR. After they asked for "feedback" and got some they didn't like I'm surprised I wasn't banned. They pulled out the big guns and had the owner come out and tell me off. |
