What the gently caress? Like, seriously, what the gently caress is this supposed to be? This isn't set up, this isn't paid off, the characters weren't seen before or after this. It doesn't make narrative sense since the pandemic is supposed to be nothing and the vaccine is evil, so rednecks getting put in intensive care doesn't even make narrative sense as a thing. This is like he tried to cram "five things happened" into four panels, along with an attempt at a joke and a punchy punchline title, and then had a stroke halfway through.

I think back in 2020 some nurses and other hospital staff did a dance video; I forget the full details but considering Ishida’s propensity for outdated references it fits.

Remember that when the Woker was introduced he was anti-corporate and led an attack on the evil drone-making factory. But now he's an icon in the corporate owned America, I guess. Btw the attack was portrayed as bad and wrong because our heroes had jobs there and would be unemployed if the attack succeeded in stopping production of the flying authoritarian control drones that are always oppressing everyone VitalSigns fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Jan 23, 2022 |

They're presented as evil, but again the only thing we've seen them do is give out food and medicine to the needy.

That's affirmative action! They literally always assume it's affirmative action because in their mind a minority can never actually be the better choice. To them, a white person is always the best fit for any job or promotion, they're always the most qualified, because whites are better and to not choose that means that someone put their thumb on the scale. There can be no other reason. It betrays, nakedly, their opinion that whites are always better, and it's hilarious to see Garrison trying to project that as if it were the system's fault.

Well you see, criminals have access to special Criminal Only stores where they can illegally buy things no matter how many laws are passed. That's what only law abiding citizens are ever affected by laws.

Why is Tinsley - in all his swaggering disdain of effeminate pinko commielib weak-kneed manbunnery - trying to show his audience that criminals are so far beyond their hope of restraint that nothing can be done, only resign yourself to live or die at their whim? Sure doesn't sound like the kind of can-do all-American go-getter attitude he implores people to use when they're pulling themselves up by their bootstraps. There's another kind of criminal Tinsley hates and fears but usually he goes with a predator metaphor.

It is so weird that Ishida wants this running narrative but will just randomly drop whatever is going on because he saw a year-old youtube video about hospital staff dancing or just pivot into something another character is doing despite not being involved with the major ongoing story arc. Like, it’s been two weeks now since 2021 died while escaping prison. We have literally no idea if the rest of them made it back safely, got caught, or you know did anything with literal corpse in their car. Instead we got a week dedicated to Uncle Sam dying and another week of reactions to his death with some unrelated stuff sprinkled in. The only good news is that we’re in the last week of January and there’s been no comic about a baby 2022.

Reminder: nominations for the 2021 Kellies close February 7th. Read the 2021 thread for candidates and place your nominations in the nominations thread. So far we've only got one set of additional nominations, but tbf we have like three hundred from the previous year's thread, so I'm not lacking for candidates - but if you want to be sure a cartoon is in the running, please nominate it. Additionally, I need volunteers to help get wiki sours up to date. Let me know if you can help with adding material to the wiki; there's a lot of data entry to do, but individuals can tackle even a part of one page and make a huge difference. Participants who help out will get a free forums upgrade of your choice.
