lmao, the chicken next to general tso and Mao got me.

there's an onion video floating around as a "Behind the Pen" with Kelly about his "process" with visual examples of his drafts and editorial changes.

basically a gag is that he is a billion times more cartoonishly racist and stupid than you would think, and he goes back and forth with the editor who makes him tone it down in order to get published. it's outrageously oniony.

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago

oh wow... so.. all this time I thought this kelly guy was actually super racist and it was just a bit that hexbear likes to post it as satire.. but it actually really is satire?

[-] B00merMemes@hexbear.net 19 points 5 days ago

Kelly is an artist from The Onion who is a parody of Ben Garrison

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago

ok.. wow.. genius

[-] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 9 points 5 days ago

Kelly Comics are the best part of The Onion at this point

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago

His lib persona is actually crazy good deep cover satire, so much so that he himself doesn't even know he is doing satire.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I gotta acknowledge the effort that went into mixing stereotypically Japanese and Chinese elements with just the right amount of cultural ignorance.

[-] dead@hexbear.net 25 points 5 days ago

I believe the comic is depicting a Chinese restaurant in the US. Chinese food restaurants in the US often sell Japanese food or elements of Japanese cuisine because Japanese restaurants were shut down during the WWII Japanese internment camps. US Chinese food restaurants started selling some Japanese foods to fill the market gap and many of the Chinese food restaurants still continue that.

All the Chinese places where I live are owned by Koreans. You can tell when they have bulgogi at the bottom of the menu.

Also pretty much all Mexican places where I live are owned by Salvadorian. You can tell when they have papusa on the menu and it's better than the tacos.

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 9 points 5 days ago

my first job was at a Greek place owned and operated by a Vietnamese family.

Oh god the South Park episode

[-] dead@hexbear.net 3 points 5 days ago

I'm not familiar

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 5 points 5 days ago

South Park is an "adult" animated cartoon created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, two libertarians who have a "everything is dumb and caring about things is stupid" approach to politics and life in general. South Park often met controversy for its crude humour, and as a result, was very popular with teenage boys who uncritically adopted the smug nihilist attitudes of its creators. You could think of it kind of like the proto-Rick and Morty if that helps.

I'm pretty sure they lurk here because The Onion declared the Dali Lama as "interim pope."

Kelly has the right idea with Mao in heaven.

mao-aggro-shining : “Are you guys sure I did all that to those landlords? I can’t find any of them here!”

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 43 points 5 days ago

General Tso right where he belongs in heaven, next to Mao. Heroes of China.

[-] nohaybanda@hexbear.net 37 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Lol fuck, someone lathed the Tariff war (latest fad) thing earlier today, but I can't remember what thread it was

EDIT: not quite the same but here it is. @LocalOaf@hexbear.net lathe-of-heaven

[-] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 21 points 5 days ago

The latest fad is a pathway to many abilities some consider unnatural unlimited-power

[-] muirc@hexbear.net 36 points 5 days ago

Fuck, wonton cruelty got me.

[-] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 35 points 5 days ago

cooking-weary moms

it's me except of course even takeout chinese has never been but a splurge in this life.

Before anyone @'s me, I think there should be 15-min-city-esque big wok sites where a few guys with healthcare and safety nets provide 300 chinese takeouts at a time veganly and then if you want you can order meat on top

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 29 points 5 days ago

It's impressive how rarely Kelley's stuff veers past the uncanny racism valley into "ironic racism is still racism" territory

[-] Homer_Simpson@hexbear.net 26 points 5 days ago

Kelly's magnum opus

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 26 points 5 days ago

Countdown to the Mao crying in Heaven emoji.

Gonna need that crying Mao emote.

And the crying chicken

Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago

Ah, yes. I see that you know your judo well. Good one.

[-] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 17 points 5 days ago

Gonna need crying Mao and crying statue of Liberty hitting the gong as emojis.

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 15 points 5 days ago

We need the KUNG POW!

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago

Is the family sitting on top of a table? Cause if you look where the waiter's legs cut off as well as the door, they're on some kind of raised surface

[-] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago

I think it's supposed to be like (some weeb come help me out here with terminology) that stereotypical paper wall type-beat, and the dining area is raised relative to the ground outside

kind of like this

At some Japanese restaurants, there are raised floors with tatami mats and you're supposed to take your shoes off before stepping on them. It seems like the Americans from this comic haven't done that though. Here's a screenshot from Yokai Watch lol

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 5 days ago

That checks out.

[-] procapra@lemm.ee 12 points 5 days ago

[-] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 30 points 5 days ago

That's what makes him the best

[-] starkillerfish@hexbear.net 23 points 5 days ago

realest

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 15 points 5 days ago

To give a serious answer: no, Stan Kelly is a fictional character and all his cartoons are parody, made by a different cartoonist called Ward Sutton. Sutton is, unfortunately, a "Ridin' with Biden" lib, which makes some of his takes less cool.
