Dear God, it‘s politically incorrect. No wonder I haven‘t seen any official CF mention of the cartoon.

Check out the character profiles:

Pte Lalancette: Linette Lalancette is a plug, enroled to give the credulous medias the illusion that women have their place in a regular infantry regiment. Although her work is limited to shuffling paper and drawing red tape, she gets periodically pulled out of the office and given a rifle when TV cameras are nearby. Private Lalancette is a crybaby incapable of carrying her own rucksack in the field but if you tell her she‘ll cry her heart out.

Pte. Zulu: ........ He held countless jobs before joining the army where, because he‘s black, he was made machine gunner. His motto: "The weight of the weapon is directionally proportional to the darkness of the skin."

Wow...

How about

"Captain Plon is the prime example of the Canadian officer: idiotic and incompetent"

or

"Here‘s something you don‘t see every day. Captain Rinville is a competent officer, well-liked and respected by his troops."

Is Scott Taylor writing this cartoon?

By the way, I like the Vandoo/PPCLI hybrid capbrass.

I liked the cartoon in the second .pdf file - the one with the medic hooking up an IV of ... Cepacol!

 

[mattoigta]

Hahaha yeah the Cepacol killed me. But those character profiles.. good lord

 

[wongskc]

What‘s with the military and cepacol anyway? When I was in cadets, a buddy of mine dislocated his shoulder on course. MIR gave him a sling and an unlimited supply of the stuff. Another guy broke his leg, they cast him up and yup, you guessed it, cepacol.

Wow, this stuff is great.
Love the March past. Its very catchy, sounds american inspired though.
Good drawing too, i wonder how they rendered the cadpat.

The March past is the theme from Monty Pythons Flying circus.

Dunno bout you, but I find this kinda sexist and racist....
I mean, Pte Lalancette is the only female character that is in uniform, and they portray her as a crybaby.
And with Pte Zulu.. "because he‘s black." I mean really...

It‘s called The Liberty Bell March, and it was written by John Philip Sousa (hence the American sound). The Pythons made it much more well known though...

Gotta learn to grow a little thicker skin then.

PS, look closer, there are more female characters with more appealing bios.

The cadpat was probably done with photoshop. I have drawn some similar cartoons (not of that caliber) but the end result looks similar. You scan the drawing you made and colour it with a photo editing program. Then take a sample picture of cadpat, shrink it to the appropriate scale so the camoflague pattern is small enough, then fill the uniform regions with it.

C‘mon Lexi, Lighten up.

The biggest problem with the army today is the BS political correctness. The CF is drowning in it!

My hat is off to them being brave enough to create something like that.

 

[tmbluesbflat]

political correctness is the most pernicious forms of censorship there is and also the most dangerous. It is one of the reasons the pedophiles in schools etc were able to avoid detection for such a long time. I attended a trial of one of these freaks about 15 years ago on Vancouver Island and in the trial the defense was trying to deny evidence based on the fact that bum ****ed and other discriptive accounts were politically incorrect therefore inadmissable, the kid in question was unaware of the correct words to use, so really the politically correct censors tried to use his ignorance as a defense, that anybody newspaper or anybody to use politcally correct for anything should be against the law!

I F‘n roared me arse off personally.
I found it rather refreshing.

Nothing wrong laffing at our selves is there?
And who say‘s it‘s all true?

 

[AlphaCharlie]

C‘mon... some of you guys need to lighten up.

That was fuggin hilarious... even if it is a bit "edgy".... I love it!

Laughed quite a bit at this. It‘s so true though.

Edit by recceguy
We‘ve been over this too many times before. The picture has been deleted, we post links , not pictures. Especially after the crash earlier because of memory problems. Last time.

Edit by AlphaCharlie
I didn‘t know that. :-(

 

[Avary]

Thanks for the kind words friends. If you have any questions regarding the Vandoos feel free to ask, I am at your service.  

 

[Baloo]

Good job, guys. That is truly an awesome site. Those cartoons are refreshing, and funny. Quite true in many instances...

Keep up the good work!

The March Past of the Hast & PER is "I'm 95", and it sounds suspiciously like that tune.  That's usually how I identify it at mess dinners.
