In the late 60's I had my first encounter with Mad Magazine in the attic of an abandoned 'Haunted House' near my elementary school. The door was unlocked, as was the custom, and there was no damage to the house. I looked around with my friend and eventually was dared up the ladder to the attic. The attic was empty except for a pile of magazines.
There was a mix of 60's 'porn' and Mad magazines piled in the center of the otherwise empty space. Obama's mom looks pretty familiar, but at age 10 porn wasn't on my radar. Mad magazine, circa 1957, however, was the ten year old's equivalent of a wet dream.
I was a fan from then on...though disappointed with the current editions since Bill Gaines died. Still buy memorials that include Mort Druker and Don Martin and Dave Berg...not to mention Antonio Prohias and Sergio Aragones.
I'm holding this silly, clean, juvenile shit for my 'new' (ten months) grandson.
There was innocence in MAD humor, too bad we've lost so much.
I have a book titled The Mad Caricature Book by Tom Richmond which I obtained last year. It is a drawing book about caricature drawing. There were many things about Mad that I loved, the Parody Song Lyrics for example.
I bet you never thought about a MAN that way before, did you? Well, if that's how you feel, I'm sure that Mr. WB7 would feel flattered (I guess). Cue the Simon and Garfunkel song...
Le Hypocrites..parfait. What an unholy alliance..these globalists were exactly who the Hebdonesians had in their crosshairs all the time. the couple of outlier muslim attacks got all of the press though. Holllande, Merkel, Netanyahoo..all funding the backdoor destabilization psyop which is ISI; ISIL, Al Q, Al Nuzra or whatever the flock its called next week.
17 brave people dead in paris and suddenly its a global fight against terror. they are the backers of the drone mayhem and the gas pipeline wars in which tens of thousands are killed without a peep from the suddenly outraged press.
Both Willem who is Dutch and Robert Crumb who is American are great cartoonists and they both live in France. I will not let Banzai7 off the hook - he is talking through his ass.
Robert Crumb on American journalism: "No, you’re the only one. You don’t have journalists over there anymore, what they have is public relations people. That’s what they have over in America now. Two-hundred and fifty thousand people in public relations. And a dwindling number of actual reporters and journalists."
You are the one with the problem. I lived in Europe long enough to know the difference. And unlike you, I had the advantage of reading the news articles before I started blabbering.
Je ne suis pas fou. When our masters think alike, it's to control us. Really free speech is anathema to them all. If fifty thousand liars speak alike, it's still a lie.
It takes remarkable skill and intelligence to make people stop and think whilst the contrived sentiments of the mob rages all around you. Bravo William. Truly well done.
I managed to pay homage to the Berlin Dada movement and the Neue Objectivists. Its very difficult to fit it all in when you are working off of someone else's script.
WB7: Fantastic to see the face behind the posts. I have loved your work on ZH for 7 years now (under various banned avatars), keep up the grand work! Obie Debt Bro is my favorite, btw.
WB7, what's your take on Paul Schulte in the interview just prior to yours? Seems like he is convinced that political/sociological instability in your neck of the woods is primarily due to privatization. Lots of talk about the necessity of government intervention for the purpose of removing the "cartels" of industry.
He is right about the tycoon families running the town. I was not aware of the big privatization push he was referring to. Everything runs fine in HK so it is easy to overlook. However, the point about angst regarding the future is very true. And that is what drove the protests, not foreign interlopers.
WB7, great interview with Max. This current charade really does mimick the financial fraud and wealth harvesting from 100 years ago. Read Louis Brandeis' articles on how bankers use other peoples money, written around 1910.
Only a nazi peice of shit would enjoy seeing those symbols superimposed on each other and I doubt WB7 is one. Maybe if you play with your muslim friends on photoshop for a few hours you might succeed.
You are a little mixed up about what passes for Naziism these days:
Time was when Nazis used to slather swastikas on synagogues and Jewish businesses to prepare the local population for expulsion or much worse. It’s sad that this sort of behavior persists around the world, as a new study by Tel Aviv University shows. But it’s even sadder to see Israelis regularly defacing Palestinian property with Stars of David with equal glee and with what appears to be the same brain-dead mindset.
Your local paper might not have covered it, but in the wee hours of Wednesday morning a gang of Israeli settlers attacked the West Bank village of Hawara. “Palestinians reported two torched cars on the village’s central road early yesterday,” Haaretzwrites. “A small village mosque, used only on the weekend, had the word ‘Muhammad’ sprayed in Hebrew and a Star of David. Haaretz also found graffiti with the Jewish prayer ‘Praise be onto him for not making me a gentile.’” The attackers also took the opportunity to destroy some three hundred olive trees, a major source of local income.
In February of 2009, a Canadian writer by the name of Marcello Di Cintio witnessed how “earlier this week, the IDF raided Jayyous. Soldiers entered the village at night, seized about a hundred young men and penned them in the school gymnasium. The troops also occupied several village houses and spray-painted a Star of David over a pro-freedom mural on a school wall. The IDF took about a dozen men with them when they left, and the men are still in custody somewhere in Israel.”

I owned a first edition, William.
"Spy vs Spy" was always brilliant.
Spy versus Spy still is ;-)

That's your own choice to make.

Gee, Bibi looks a little, well, 'irritated'. I guess his 'HNIC' wasn't who he expected it to be.
Just saw you on Max Keiser! Keep up the good work from Hong Kong!!

Merde!
CH Cartoonist Bernard Willem Holtrop: "We suck at all the people who suddenly call themselves our friends,"
"CH Cartoonist Bernard Willem Holtrop: "We suck at all the people who suddenly call themselves our friends,""
NOT "CH" cartoonist. "Willem" is Dutch and he is as vicious a pen as you will find in the Western World.

No Swiss political cartoonist can be compared with any of the people who were murdered on Wednesday and not with Willem either.
Check out his work.
He works there. That is all we need to know for this purpose.
No. The facts are the fucking facts Banzai.
You had no idea that Willem is Dutch. Get over yourself. Your ego will bankrupt you - it needs too much feeding lately...
Both Willem who is Dutch and Robert Crumb who is American are great cartoonists and they both live in France. I will not let Banzai7 off the hook - he is talking through his ass.

Speaking of untimely hypocracy. This episode of the German version of the Daily show was banned in free speech Germany.

I believe this qualifies to be called a meta-satire, i.e., a satire of a satire magazine.
OT but too bizarre not to mention. Dad has cops oversee him dicipline his daughter, cops say not the first time.
He literally asked the state for permission to teach his kid.

This site is what first attracted me to your work:
http://williambanzai7.blogspot.ch/
I managed to pay homage to the Berlin Dada movement and the Neue Objectivists. Its very difficult to fit it all in when you are working off of someone else's script.

Thoughts are changed by visual, written or spoken images. Governments need mass media hype to control thinking, while WB7 succeeds without the hype.
Nice, can't wait to listen to this. I've been trying to find some of your older stuff from before I started reading Zerohedge. Really love your art.
If you go to the right side of my Flickr Stream there is an option called archive where everything is arranged by calendar month.
WB7, great interview with Max. This current charade really does mimick the financial fraud and wealth harvesting from 100 years ago. Read Louis Brandeis' articles on how bankers use other peoples money, written around 1910.
I'll be there soon to purchase a print.
WilliamBonzie7, now worldwide mildly famous!! Congratulations!
I don't know about famous. But I know I have lots of genuine friends around the world. What could be better ;-)
Indeed...it was good to see, and hear, the man behind the magic.
Awesome!
Thank you William, ZH, for peering in to the darkness and shining some light on what I would prefer to avoid.
They are looking up so see Dick Cheney waving or maybe an ObamaDrone circling.
They spotted HellinYellin in her HELLicopter. Expecting her to start tossing out cash...then they got an upskirt glimpse.
Love to see a Star of David/Swastika flag...can you create one or has it already been done?
Only a nazi peice of shit would enjoy seeing those symbols superimposed on each other and I doubt WB7 is one. Maybe if you play with your muslim friends on photoshop for a few hours you might succeed.

Didn't you get the message from Victoria? Nazi's are our butt buddies now, as long as they hate Putin.
BTW seen this?
No wonder Obola didn't show up. His fly entourage would have well outnumbered everyone else that attended, even without Kerry being there.
Why is Frau Merkel-Hitler looking up? Expecting a drone delivery?
She is dreaming of her days as Secretary General of the UN...which also explains why she has been a neocon slave bitch.
