The Halifax-based satirical magazine Frank has announced its demise after more than three decades of publication. A notice on the publication's website says the publishers "regret to announce the death of Frank Magazine Atlantic... which occurred on September 14, 2022." (www.frankmagazine.ca) 

Good grief... thanks for the laughs Andrew Douglas, managing editor...

"In 2017, the magazine came under criticism for a cartoon that depicted El Jones, an African Nova Scotian poet who was attending a demonstration, as having a jutting chin and sloping forehead.

The magazine modified the image after critics described the image as racist and launched campaigns to remove the magazine from stores. Douglas also apologized to readers, saying, “In our mind, we didn’t use (a) racist character, but having said that we also understand that can be totally subjective.”

Jones, who is now the Nancy’s chair in women’s studies at Mount Saint Vincent University, said in an interview at the time she viewed the image as a throwback to racist images in magazines in the 1800s that depicted African men and women as having features closer to primates than Caucasians.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 15, 2022."

We need the memes if we are going to have a true battle of truth and mockery against those bootlicking scumbag politicians... whose only purpose is to interfere with the rights of humans to live freely and in abundance... amiright?  We will regain our Tartarian Golden Age again!
