Roland Jones posted:No, I get the joke, I was just wondering if it was started here or elsewhere. It seemed like it could be a joke/reference from some outside source or a running gag the thread started, so I wanted to ask, and, if it was the former, get a link to the original. It's a pretty bog standard comedy pattern, normal normal weird normal.

But they can just use their smartphones to look up funny pictures online, though. I've just never seen a kid ever look at a paper for almost any reason, even back before smartphones were a thing.

Lurdiak posted:The fact that it's so easy to find so many cartoons and thinkpieces and lovely tweets calling the Berkeley students who think fascism is bad "THE REAL NAZIS" in complete contradiction to the actual facts is why Trump got elected. Everything can be twisted into "other side bad, my side good" and you can find thousands of 'sources' agreeing with you. Reality has ceased to matter. It infuriates me to the point I've just stopped engaging with most people when it comes to political opinions. Hank Green made a video recently talking about his frustrations with people choosing "opposite of reality" opinion pieces, much like the comics we love to hate in this thread, over actual experts and journalists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvBRe5IuRBU

Well I grew up to post incessantly on a moribund comedy website's political forum, to the point where they made me a mod of the lunatic-fringe meltdown subforum that emerged from it, so maybe I dunno maybe there were unintended consequences?

I read the newspaper funny pages as a kid. Of course, it was waaay before the internet and it was usually on my way to the box scores. Fortunately, there was no Mallard then. We had more wholesome fare, like Sarge assaulting Beetle, the Wizard of Id's frolicsome torture scenes, and Andy Capp stumbling home drunk.  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Johnny Walker posted:A lot of little kids don't have smartphones and they do enjoy reading the comics. Or at least looking at them for a minute. I think it's just a novelty for them. To them they are cartoons that don't move that they hold in their hands. My younger brother used to get very upset if you suggested he read the black and white comics if he liked the color ones so much.

I guess it's the artist of that comic above (which I rather like) but I dunno if I have seen her work before today. I guess she writes other comics that are awful or something?
