8. my take on the cartoon.....
.... is that it is simply remarking that cultural mores are at least in large part perspectival - in the eye of the beholder....

there may also be a sarcastic swipe at the right, to wit, playing on their fear that homos are trying to take over the country and make everyone gay...

3. It's suppose to be funny in a stupid physiological way...
In reality the artist needs to go back to school....(grade school)

5. Yes, irony IMO.
Turning the issue(gay marriage) on its head to show the absurdity of the opposition.

7. the problem is
this guy has drawn cartoons in the past showing a guy getting married to a plant arguing that this is down the line. i doubt he's arguing in favor of gay marriage.

9. LOL
Well then he's not a very good cartoonist. I saw the cartoon as a very clear swipe at the conservative groups trying to get the courts to stop gay marriages.

If that's not what he meant, then I'm sure he confused a LOT of people.

10. Ah, so it's like Johnny Hart's "slam" cartoon.
It's not bigotted at face value, until you consider the artists other bigotted cartoons.

11. He's making fun of idiots
1. idiots who think gays have an agenda to push their gayhood onto others

2. idiots who think beasitiality and marrying plants is equivalent to gay marriage

3. the riculousness of the term "sanctity of marriage"

4. and as said before, the absurdity of fighting gay marriage by showing how absurd fighting regular marriage would be



that's my take.
