Jonas Albrecht posted:"Is that [thing]?" No, my point is that they're not trying to make Hydra look like heroes (though Tom Brevoort's denials that they have anything to do with Nazism are hilarious, yes they're basically the forerunner of Cobra in terms of being a cartoonish, stateless international terrorist organization but the Red Skull, a Nazi, was still a founder and Jack Kirby, a man who killed Nazis, 100% intended them to be a metaphor for fascism) but make Captain America into a authoritarian monster to do some sort of cackhanded "even the best goodness can be corrupted" story. It's worse than what Improbable Lobster was saying basically.

How is that comic about porridge being porridge (what's wrong with eating porridge) political anyway? Is a weird looking slice of life strip the side career of some hack?

I thought porridge was pretty funny. JRose, Tinsley, and Mac probably do more apolitical latest fad/some gizmo strips in a year anyway. Heaven forbid we see one that's actually good. E: beaten like a smelly hippie.

I guess it's mocking the practice of giving fancy names to fad foods, but strictly speaking it wouldn't be porridge unless it has been boiled. Another strip, apparently a feminist attempt at gross-out humour:

Hihohe posted:Theres such a thing as menstruation cups? What do you do? Catch the menstruation? Yeah. Silicone, usually, you just shove 'em up there and catch the blood with them and boil the poo poo out of them when you're done. Sounds weird but if you get used to them they are way more convenient and less trash than pads or tampons. They are generally about the size of a shot glass, as it happens.

Zesty posted:Do we need every non-political comic of hers? Why not? The comic is a nice relaxing step away from the constant, crushing right-wing hacks that normally get posted. It's not like the comic is ever all that far away from a political message, even when it's just dealing with normal day to day stuff. I just don't understand the people coming out and complaining about it.

I like it because it forced me to have a conversation with my girlfriend about what Menstruation cups are.

So goons were happy to tolerate dbd for years even though it wasn't political half the time but cool swedish femitoons are right out? There's a Stockholm syndrome joke it there somewhere, I just know it.

Cause if Zelda doesn't meet it, we should probably not be posting JRRose or Prickly City, and maybe not even drinky duck, since they aren't political all the time either. Edit: in case it isn't obvious, this is a dumb argument on purpose

The cutoff I'd make if forced at gunpoint is that a political cartoon comments on current events, not just general ideology stuff I like Zelda though and if it moved to another thread I probably wouldn't follow it so keep it here please

I like Zelda, and I also like the horrible text formatting. In a way, it's very fitting. If we're gonna get something good, we should at least suffer a little for it.
