Hey, it's the Media Crowd from the 2008 Elections! edit: for those who don't remember, Cagle used that exact crowd in no less than four seperate cartoons during the last presidential campaign.

I'd imagine drawing a crowd of diverse people may be a bit of a time-consumer.

I'd probably be stupid enough to try to draw a unique crowd each time, if I were a cartoonist.

I imagine it's not uncommon to copy+paste in this day and age.

I imagine it's not uncommon to copy+paste in this day and age. Artists have been taking shortcuts since forever. Mowgli and Wart getting glomped by wolves/dogs respectively Snow White's dance with the Dwarves and then furry Maid Marion's dance with Robin Hood's Merry Men. Mowgly and Christopher Robin both goofing off with a random stick they found part Baloo and King Louie's dance and... well, I know that dance was used elsewhere.

Used in Disney's Robin Hood.
Ironbite-Disney did a lot of recycling of old sequences back in the day.

Well at least that's the scenario with ethanol produced from corn anyway. Hint: EVERY energy source requires more energy to produce than it will provide. This is called "entropy", and it is the law. I believe the point here is that it will take more human-provided energy. The reason we have energy sources despite entropy is that the sun does most of the work of providing that energy. If, however, we need to provide more energy we would otherwise use directly than the energy we can use from ethanol, then it is a waste. Though I don't know which one is the case, I'm not familiar enough with the subject.

Though I don't know which one is the case, I'm not familiar enough with the subject. Right, and that was basically my assumption too. I've read that corn ethanol is a highly inefficient fuel relative to its production costs, and creates more carbon in its creation than it saves over regular gasoline. Nevertheless, just saying that it requires more energy to make than it will produce is irrelevant.

Nevertheless, just saying that it requires more energy to make than it will produce is irrelevant. However, if we can produce a fuel that is compatible with the existing transportation infrastructure and avoid being forced to rely on other nations, the extra cost may well be worth it. Unfortunately, I really doubt that we have an abundant enough domestic source of energy to convert into ethanol so basically all we are doing is wasting more dead dino juice.
