It’s an election year, we’ll figure something out

Edit: also Charlie Kirk has stated that this year they’re going to focus TPUSA on telling everyone what an awful person MLK Jr was and how the 1964 Civil Rights Act should be revealed, so I expect Branco or Varvel is going to jump in that message soon

Speaking of deathbeds, let's see if we can get some closure on 2023 in this week's edition of...





It turned out the woke pimp was just dozens of FBI agent ghosts in a coat the entire time!

...which also means, based on earlier strips, that this whole porn enterprise is based on FBI ghosts selling things to other FBI ghosts. I'm not really sure how that's supposed to accomplish anything, which I guess makes it perfect for Sinfest.

It's a good thing those kids from that weird subgroup of Chabad knocked down some walls and hauled in some dirty sleeping bags were building mysterious conspiracy body-transport tunnels in the sewer or else the stork carrying Baby New Year wouldn't have been able to escape hell. Again, I'm just going to spend a few minutes staring at a sentence this comic has obligated me to write. (Also, hope you spotted the child abuse imagery AGAIN.)

poo poo going too deep into antisemitism dogwhistles for me to decipher. I thought the tunnel rabbis were carrying bodies wrapped in blankets or something. And lol at him getting bored with the New Year arc in just a week because the itch to be bigoted was too great

Also Ishida is a holocaust denier now, fantastic.

Yeah, while Stonetoss might be occasionally worth looking at just as an alt-right temperature gauge, I definitely wouldn't want to see it regularly posted. Like as lovely as Branco and the rest are, their main goal isn't to directly inspire mass shootings. It's why we don't really talk about people like Nick Fuentes over in the right wing media thread even though he qualifies, there's no real entertainment value or insight you can derive from someone who just nakedly wants to inspire hate crimes.

God I hate it when they just say "Blacks" like that

It's so off-putting

Speaking of Tatsuya Ishida... wait a minute. You did that on purpose!

A good cartoon.

(Also: Gandalf, notably someone that can be killed.)



I'm now wondering if he thought this pun up first and then wrote the whole rest of this arc to contain it.



I think Ishida has some serious misapprehensions about what most people would want heaven to be like.

In isolation, this one actually... isn't bad. It's not like the Israeli army is doing nice things, and I'm at least going to give him credit for depicting an actual atrocity this time instead of just having people engage in totally normal activities and then gesturing at them as if they're horrible. It's only once you look at the virulently antisemitic context that this joins the pile of poo poo that we must, for lack of a better term, describe as his life's work.

Going full alt right doesn't seem to have worked out for him, but maybe he will get more fans when Garrison kicks it and reddit nazis need something new to read.

Got to get a couple of panels about how porn is bad into this firehose of conspiracy theories and antisemitism.

Our hero punches her best friend in the the loving eye because she doesn't like his political speech. This is something the cartoonists thinks is good and that the audience should support.

Vib Rib posted:

He's been fully, fully mask-off for quite some time now, but every week he finds a way to be even more brazen with it. Like he's fighting to be the most comically overt, unsubtle dumbass possible.
Something about this strip is so jarring. I mean, obviously it's jarring because the punchline is "JEWS ARE DOING THIS!!! IT'S JEWS!!!", but the rare inclusion of Slick and a somewhat linear joke setup instead of vague doomsaying about LGBT people makes me flash back to reading this comic in 2004 when it was just forgettable and bland. To imagine this strip right beside all the other old ones is... I can't even find the word to describe it. I can't imagine the reaction I'd have clicking "view latest strip", after a bunch of comics about the dog and the cat musing about their owner or God putting on a silly puppet show for laughs, and immediately seeing this. It breaks something.

It's kind of crazy how fast he went from "Israel is doing some terrible poo poo" to "The Jews control the world at the bidding of their lord and master, Satan". It took him ages to get from feminist to TERF; I guess each successive hole is easier to fall down.

Guavanaut posted:

That could or could not be "just a joke man, like in South Park", same as how his years of circling the drain of galactic lizardman illuminati robot devils could just be the gutter conspiracy poo poo, which while fully adjacent to antisemitism, is not inherently antisemitic (as with Jon Ronson's investigations into David Icke and his fans).

Am I the only one who thinks those David Hitch cartoons that are just big dumb faces saying big dumb bullshit are just really unpleasant to look at?

Horrendous art style.

In Ishida's case, I think there's something more mercenary to his hate, similar to Garrison.
Like, yeah, they believe the poo poo they're peddling, but what they really want is for you to pay them to peddle that poo poo. For the right price, they would very probably "agree" with anything you told them to.

As Pants Donkey pointed out on Monday, Tats is just clarifying here that he doesn't give a poo poo about Palestinians, only hating Jews.
