Rall Vs. Tomorrow

Though Ted Rall's comic strip is more widely circulated than Tom Tomorrow's "This Modern World", I don't think it deserves it. Rall and Tomorrow are both "leftists", but Rall's cartoon is far more grating than Tomorrow's. It seems that Ted Rall frequently focuses on shock value, while Tom Tomorrow is more tasteful. The reason for this difference is pretty clear, I think, Rall is not as funny as Tomorrow and has to go for cheap over the top tactics while Tom Tomorrow is able to be more subtle and amusing.

Bellow is a sample of This Modern World and Rall's strip so you can judge for yourselves:
