The translation is bad, but the joke is good: people are being loving ridiculous with the "new" food fads, which are usually just something old and normal with a new fancy name.

Mrs. Squashy is plant-based chef, and the "overnight oats" trend is HOT, HOT, HOT right now.

I'm not reading Secret Empire because I have better comics to read and Nick Spencer is a Bad™ but isn't the plot that Captain America is a fascist now through shenanigans and using Hydra to conquer America or something, not that they're being painted as good guys?


IDGI

There's a secret progressive faction of Hydra that isn't racist (despite being lead by a character that was introduced as a Hydra member that fled to the USA after the war and joined the KKK) and is egalitarian and working for The Greater Good.

Really bad, especially considering that Jack Kirby was jewish and regularly received death threats from american nazis.

Lion of Judah protect you, Jah be praised.
Jeez, since everyone is talking about it so much:

I think Zelda does belong in the thread, just like any other cartoon that gets posted.

I usually skip Zelda because it doesn't include any news of the day, which is something I actually get out of this thread (I don't really watch any TV anymore so, just like a lot of you, this is one of the places where I get my news). The ones I have read are okay, maybe a slight chuckle at best. Despite its edginess to an American audience, the jokes honestly do feel like they belong in the funny pages.

And despite the artist being able to draw expressive, well thought out characters, I'm not fond of that style. Reminds me too much of Archie comics.

But in all this discussion, we've forgotten the real purpose of this thread:

One day, that Macron will grow up to butt-gently caress a south american politician.

It was a shame how he carried on
So these cartoons and people calling Dems hypocrites are completely missing the point like they did with the pussy-grabbing thing right? Like, my understanding is that the reason the Comey firing is suspicious is because he was investigating the president. So I really don't think it's an issue of "we used to hate Comey for what he did to Hillary" turning into "how could they fire Comey? I love that guy."

This is the Political Comics thread, not the Actually OK Comics Thread. :colbert:

My only beef is that Zelda seems political the same way that Dave Willis' comics are/were political: They generally aren't, but every so often they put out one that does make a political point that would be relevant to the thread on some level.

Of course he is. He's a wingnut rear end in a top hat; any "Trump is bad too, I guess" cartoons are weak attempts to seem broadly credible. See also: The National Review, various "Never Trump"ers, so-called GOP moderates, etc., etc.
