Pilum is just standard armament for Roman soldiers.

The praetorian guard were the emperor's body guards who also played a big political role, for example helping Caligula to succeed Tiberius and eventually turning against him. Just like FBI and Trump :v:

Judging from the spear, I think Garrison is going for the soldier who pierced Jesus on the cross...

Some artists like to challenge themselves by drawing their favourite things from memory. Any alterations is Garrison wish fullfilment.

If this is Benny G challenging himself I'd hate to see what it looks like when he's coasting.

The only thing I could think was that some praetorian guards wound up killing their own emperors. Also, Ben, WOW, is that a TON of oddly specific detail on the Gestapo uniform. I wasn't aware they had little daggers, were you? I wonder why he knew that specific fact?

There's a whole discussion on the last page on how most of that detail is wrong \ SS uniform. Including the little daggers.

Which you can be aware of without being a nazi fan.

Well turns out that Stephen Miller said the FBI is like the praetorian guard, so there’s no evidence Ben thought about their inclusion as much as I did.

It has something to do with when he still pretended to take offense at being compared to Nazis, threatening to sue 4chan for the edits they made of his cartoons.
The edits were the ZykonBen edits. I'm assuming zykon was some sort of lethal chemical agent, but I'd be lying if I said for sure, and I'm about to go to bed, so I'm not gonna be googling it.

It amuses me that if you google "zyklon ben" it helpfully provides his wikipedia article in spite of the word "zyklon" appearing nowhere in said article:

Could be an earlier instance of the article had it and the search indices haven't updated, but it's funnier to think that google just has the association.

He gave an interview where he whined about all those mean trolls editing his cartoons to make them more (explicitly) racist. So you'd think he'd be in favor of respecting an artist's creative control over their work, but like all conservatives he's an absolute hypocrite:

It feels like "Banana Republic" should be a racist term. "We've fallen so far that we're engaging in the same sort of corruption as the Latinos!" No one seems to take it that way, though.

"Banana republic" as a term is a reference to Dole and their coup(s) unless I'm mistaken
