You said it, this wrong in so many ways.
It's art. It's meant to provoke. Now put yourself in a vegan's shoes for a moment and look again at this comic, and you see the grotesquerie of animal based agriculture laid bare.
It's social comentary. Really really good social comentary. Edit - not vegan myself, but I get it.
comic is ok but the offended comments really elevate it
Pervert.
thank you
Reminds me of Pig by Roald Dahl.
People expect some funny, maybe payback, at least for someone to do something. Nope. Just weird and sad.
You see, THIS is a far better example, than whatever you intended to do in my conversation with an actual asshole.
I am also partial to Animal Farm, because who doesn't love an allegory to bourgeois abuse?
You can evoke justifiable anger at the correct targets without grossing your readers away.
Unless you really meant to patronize me.
Are you trying positive reinforcement with my Internet etiquette? It doesn't work great when you do it with affective contempt.
I thought you were being ironic when you said you know art can evoke emotions but you were mad about the specific emotions this art evokes.
I am trying to comprehend your intent.
If we are both art enjoyers, that comprehend art can evoke emotions with comprehension of your audience in mind, why can you evoke disenfranchisement while I can't?
You can't? Have you tried?
I try to keep good company without trying to offend my income, so no, I am not going to attempt to disenfranchise my commissioners.
But you do you!✌️
I will. My dick-breathing dragon prints are a top seller with judge-judy tarot coming in a close second. People like being mildly offended, just look at these comments.
Good luck, truly. The world needs artists. I only downvoted you after you called our friend there an asshole, which I didn't think was cool, otherwise I enjoyed our debate.
Edit: Pig was about raising people to be disempowered by shielding them from negativity, and how it does them a disservice. I struggle to find a strong allusion to class struggle, since the primary theme is the danger of being naive.
>debating, in the comic strips community
’baitbro, you're in the wrong instance
You can end your grasps.
Did you not respond to me in a new thread to like... continue this debate? Almost like art can trigger strong emotions.
And here I was trying to be polite, following one of the rules of the comic strips community.
I am absolutely certain your definition of debate differs quite drastically than what this entire community qous it means.
I can justifiably name people by the behavior they act upon. Unless you like renaming actions we can witness on our own. Am I an asshole for calling an asshole an asshole?
That would be neat to see how the comic strip community defines a debate.
If anyone sees this and feels like answering, how would you define a debate?
Anyway, anyone can call someone an asshole, for sure. I didn't call you call you an asshole, I said it wasn't a cool, because one of the community rules is to be polite.
Ok, karen
he drugged her just so he couls finish her sandwich ? he could have bought his own, or asked her for a bite. Very upsetting comic
If the way you understood it was upsetting to you, be happy in your ignorance
How about fucking no.
usually love this dude's comics, strangely this one is viscerally awful
Love it
Contra does some great dark comics. This feels like it was rushed.
This is hurtin.
Bad taste
If klingerd & DaveContra wanted to exemplify compliance of [witnessing and doing nothing] evil, even then the humor falls flat.
On a retrospective, thank you @klingerd@lemmy.ca, you managed to attract the assholes for our community to ignore. On behalf of normal folks, we thank you for your sacrifice.
I think op is just another bot.

- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
