Belongs in A&P. *places gently on the A&P shelf*

Personally I would have prefered to put them in the N&P thread but apparently the fact that they are artwork trumps anything else they might have to say, which was why I stuck them in Off Topic because I get the impression that fewer people look through all of the threads in A&P than N&P or Off Topic.

Oh well.

If you originally wanted it in N&P, why didn't you post it there in the first place? It could probably go there just as easily as A&P. OT is supposed to be more for the stuff that doesn't really fall into any other categories, which is why I moved it to one of the two other places I thought it belonged. If you really want it in N&P, PM Beowulf about it and ask him to move it there for you.

I didn't post it there because the last time I put political cartoons in N&P it got moved here as well, even though in the past we'd had threads with political cartoons in N&P.

I was basically trying to split the difference between N&P and A&P by putting it in OT since in a way it kind of fits in both. I think because of what they are saying political cartoons have slightly more reason to be in N&P than in A&P but then we do have a lot of lot of pictures that people post in the funny picture thread that take shots at political figures as well.

It's kind of a no win situation I guess so here's as good as any place.

Okay, I didn't set out to stir things up and see if I could get a thread moved to the most areas of the board so wherever it ends up is fine with me.

With the way this thing is moving you might want to clarify where "here" is. :D

Aha! I am victolious!

Ok, now maybe you'll get some comments on the cartoon. And sorry for all the chaos, GR & Beowulf.

It'll be interesting to see how many people have even seen the old Charles Atlas advertisements to even compare it to.
