Axa is one of those comics in which I really love the art, but the stories are super strange and the characters are all completely insufferable assholes. (Except Mark. Mark is cool.)



Classic Kevin & Kell in: Lindesfarne starts a blog (August 9-15, 2004)










Hey remember blogs? I remember them. For those who are too young, the term was derived from "web logs," and they were literally online diaries, in which people just wrote whatever, from personal thoughts to other, more specialised stuff. Some became famous and launched their owners' careers, while most went nowhere. It was a weird thing we got in the mid-aughts. Once social media started getting popular, though, blogs quickly disappeared, replaced by Facebook and especially Twitter. They survive in some form as Tumblrs, but they're not quite the same.

Also, regarding the last strip: Holbrook's heart is in the right place. (Also gently caress fundies.)

Huh, I think I'm the one reading it wrong actually, I just know that Bootsie is rarely portrayed in a positive light: he's constantly bragging, getting into violent fights, straight up lying, ripping people off, etc. So it feels like this comic is saying "That Bootsie, doesn't he know commies are bad? He's just saying it because he doesn't understand how bad commies are, if he had a daughter I bet he wouldn't let her date a commie because deep down he knows it too!"

I was also thinking of this one, which I apparently misremembered:

Because the things that guy is saying are just flat out ridiculous at a glance, we're pretty clearly supposed to think this guy is an idiot, and of course communists aren't as bad as lynch mobs.

Also I looked it up and the creator, Ollie Harrington, actually moved to East Germany and lived in Berlin for the last 30 years of his life, probably not the sort of thing someone who's into Red Scare stuff would do. So yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm the one who misunderstood the cartoon!

Yeah, I think you are misreading it, but that’s because the joke is very American and of a certain time period, either of which you may not be connecting with. The joke underneath I think you’re missing is that “yes, but would you let your daughter marry one??????” was an common response to anti-racism in the U.S. in the 20th century. Im pretty sure the fact that in the cartoon a black person has internalized that and is using it as an anti-communist argument is supposed to be weary irony.

Also, Bootsie is often a terrible person in the strip, but his enthusiasm and efforts to support civil rights are often shown in a very positive (though occasionally humorously violent) light, so it doesn’t surprise me that Harrington gave Bootsie the kind of politics Harrington approves of.

The really weird thing about Wilbur and Pierre is that we've never been shown it. Pierre seems to look at him with the same cute face he does everything. Also he's a newly homed dog, give it more than two days. I thought my current affectionate angel pupper was a bit weird for at least the first week.
