NOT ENOUGH LABELS.

There's things there that I don't know what they are or what they mean and it makes me feel dumb.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 37 points 11 months ago

This is the comic of The Onion, it's a satire of political cartoons

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Satire sure, but also an actual political cartoon in its own right.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

Really?

Why isn't it labeled as such?

[-] GuerillaGorillas@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Top right corner has it labeled from The Onion, actually, though it’s a pretty tiny font.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

On mine it's actually low res enough that onion isn't ledgable. I only know its Onion because I've seen his work before.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Oh I thought there was an onion there.

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 months ago

The people down voting you are so proud of having spotted the satire in the OP, and yet...

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

...which was the style at the time.

[-] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

Label maker 🅱️roke

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 25 points 11 months ago

Who is that lady outside?? I need labels!

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

How could you tell that was outside?

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

Because it's separated by a...uhh...what's it called? Dammit, why didn't they label it?

[-] heavy@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago

I thought this was purposefully making fun of Ben Garrison, but now I'm not sure.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 15 points 11 months ago

Totally, this is the cartoon of The Onion. It's satire.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 7 points 11 months ago

I think the Kelly comics predate Garrison. Either way, most of them dig in hard to Poe's Law. This is on the more obvious side of most of them.

I'm going to need a label to understand this comment.

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

That's a pretty common joke Kelly's comics include. It'll be a totally normal part of modern life, like "social media" or "streaming tv" or something, and it'll be marked with an asterisk labeling it "(latest fad)"

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

What do they think we're geniuses or something?

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

They think we're in on the schtick.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 47 points 11 months ago

The best part is how this will be associated with him until he dies.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 25 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Or as long as he remains relevant. Which hopefully will be a short time.

[-] MermaidsGarden@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago
[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

Only complaint is a lack of Sicko, otherwise it’s a great Kelly.

[-] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 11 months ago

Sometimes after a hard day, all it takes is a Sicko to cheer me right the fuck up for a bit.

[-] Digital_man@lemmy.one 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Wow, these wayfair ads are 🔥

[-] GarrulousBrevity@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago
[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

He's standing behind the couch.

[-] Taco2112@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

People aren’t going to like this opinion but I’ll start by saying I think Vance is a crap Senator and a simp for billionaire oligarch Peter Thiel, that being said, this cartoon reminds me of one of Ben Garrison’s crappy cartoons.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 53 points 11 months ago

These comics are made by the onion. It's entire point is to make fun of comics like Garrison's

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 30 points 11 months ago

Yes, that's the idea. It's satire of political cartoons.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Probably should mention satire from Onion making fun on Garrison; it says so top right under Kelly but that text is gonna be too low res to make out.

Just saying satire people might think it's a right wing rag poking fun at the couch accusations. Many political cartoons are satire of politics, this is satire of political cartoons.
