Joe Biden has never gone on record saying he doesn't eat babies. Perhaps because he is too busy eating babies!

Edit: how come no Presidential administration thought to whip up a dark-money propaganda campaign correctly explaining he can't do poo poo to the economy in a term where everything sucked at the end of it?

Probably because it's a total non-starter compared to the other guy promising to fix everything if you vote out the buffoon who ruined everything. Even if it's right and all, even if it was perfectly on target and educational. Something something an entire lifetime of jokes about trusting in the inherent goodness and intelligence of the common man, something something Futurama/Simpsons jokes.

I'd also assume that like education about unions all the competing interests are producing dark-money propaganda arguing the opposite.

It's drat clear what the comic is saying and it's not this. I'll be sure to put even more qualifiers and acknowledgements before my statement next time.

I know a lot of these comics are dogwhistles for vile hate but a lot are also just as banal as they look, imo. "College sure is expensive." He really needs a pink/blue-haired professor with fangs in the frame to say more than that(you know, for the vile jackasses), or maybe I don't recognize the leanings of this particular artist who isn't in the rogues gallery of thread greats.

You can tell propaganda is working when I keep thinking that John Fetterman seems like a cool chill dude riling up the angry, bitter old dean of DC University. Keep it up cartoonists!

Googles "Most Popular Dragonball Z Villains."

Reaches past Frieza and Cell to select Vegeta and Piccolo. Two of the most famous reformed rivals in the entire genre if not the entire medium. No further research necessary.

I... I meant to do that. I'm not owned, I'm not owned!

How many generations does a family have to be born jn a country before they're considered "natural"? I mean, I know it doesn't matter to the man named "'Tatsuya Ishida" who has strong opinions on non-Americans entering the US, but Piccolo is a 2nd/3rd generation Earthling (I don't know if you start counting generations from the person who arrived in a new country, or their child). I mean, Piccolo was birthed by King Piccolo, who was created from a previous Namekian on Earth, so that's 2-3 generations of Namekians on Earth.

Also that is a pretty cute xenomorph baby.

Hell, King Piccolo was split from Kami. How does Tatsuya live knowing that the divinity that watches over humanity is a refugee?

It's a common conservative "gotcha" that the writers strike is a nothingburger because modern pop culture sucks so much because of the woke writers and that AI would be a vast improvement if you're Mad About Star Wars as a youtube career.

What I find most bizarre about Tatsuya is his work ethic.

To go so insane but to update continuously without ever lapsing on effort in his art for 20+ years is an amusing and well deserved curse. You'd think he could sit down and tell a few stories that aren't screaming at internet clouds. He has this steady drive but he can only use it to piss into the 4chan ocean. He gets the occasional artist note in professional comics page, one I could google and one I saw in this thread, maybe he has a pen name, but it seems more his style to "preach truth" and die in a box apartment on the $200 a month he has on subscribe star. Maybe he banked and invested some cash back when Sinfest was popular enough to sell collected volumes.

Tragic, but also pretty funny.

They were. It's a common "own" by conservatives that comes up whenever liberals suggest that islamophobia may be bad. "Ah, you idiot, you defend people who would kill you for your other beliefs, you are thiiiiiis dumb, lmao."

The man on the right is a fool, or a "turkey", despite not being a bird!

Thanks for the write up. It really does suck and would fit right into this thread as Dustin is almost entirely about how much Kelley hates young people but not enough to do so competently or consistently. It's just a random line of burns against a strawman he shits out daily.

Particularly stupid is the Christmas Past strip since Dustin is well-socialized. The entire strip tries to portray Dustin as rightfully getting what he deserves because haw haw, stupid lazy millennial, but it's also disgustingly mean-spirited. The Eternal Loser is a classic for comedy but this is a strip where Dustin will greet somebody and they'll immediately call him a stupid loser to his face. Everybody in this world can smell the "loser" on Dustin, a 20 something college graduate.

What really makes it political is occasionally Kelley will sneak in what he thinks a proper man is like, usually a 7 foot tall triangle torso'd guy three times as wide as Dustin is. Dustin wants to stay syndicated in newspapers as a normal comic strip so he always tip toes around just spewing "this is you, leftie losers, get a job."

Then there's his dad Ed, who is always a painfully thin self-insert of how Kelley saw something so wacky and god drat stupid these days to lance with his wit(coffee cups be having stupid names for their sizes! retail employees be not giving me as much respect as I want!) but is also a deeply selfish rear end in a top hat. You may be noticing a trend here with how Kelley thinks... oh well, I'm sure in real life he's a hard working sensible everyman built like a 6'4" steel-jawed conservative hero, unlike the loser beta men of today. :v:

Am I to try to imagine the cutting insight of "Trump bad but Biden ALSO bad" myself?! Uncle Sam, a look of resigned frustration upon his face as he studies the ballot, wit as razor sharp as drawing a Terminator with AI emblazoned upon it! Why, perhaps it could be suggested that the steady hand of cold robotic logic would outpace the folly of man! Those clowns, holed up in Congress, why they're certainly a bunch of clowns!
