Tom Tomorrow Toon from 1994- he sees the future

[Ichingcarpenter]

Tom Tomorrow, penned the cartoon above in 1994 for Spin magazine.

The funny thing is that you could never print this cartoon today—not because it’s too subversive, but because it’s too obvious. It no longer reads as satire.

4. Under varius NDAA provisions, a person might not know

what crime they' re being charged with. And even once that person who is imprisoned does find out, the government impairs the attorneys ability to help with your defense.

5. Ask Padilla about that.

About speedy trial and jury by peers and right to an attorney. Ask all those people at Gitmo who have been cleared of all charges but will be held forever without trial or chance of gaining their freedom.

3. Food additives and cable TV

OBVIOUSLY.... We need more distractions in order to duck, duck the dynasty of our future reality

7. Wouldn't be prudent to forget Tom Tomorrow pegging a certain, eh, heritage.

I'd call them the BFEE, but a certain quarter on DU doesn't like it when I point out the multi-generational nature of traitors, warmongers and banksters who somehow seem to escape justice. Heh heh heh.

8. You need to be a sensible liberal not a left wing wacho

I started reading Tom back in 94 who was in alternative newspapers, I saw his genius back then.

10. This calls for another exciting episodes of ''Middleman!'' That's M-I-D-D-L-E-M-A-N.

Happy Holidays, Ichingcarpenter! TT is a genius and in you he has another genius for a fan.

9. Kicked and recommended.
