The seat is way too small for that bowl and I find that mildly infuriating

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago

Makes sense to me .... a seat small enough for a little asshole and a bowl big enough for someone who produces a lot of shit

[–] JesusTheCarpenter 13 points 1 year ago

That's because they had to put the Elon's Twitter sign. Which is why I am not big fan of this kind of old school satire. It's a little on the nose Everything has to have signs, subtitles and arrows so even the dumbest people can understand them. While I understand the need for that, it makes the jokes fall flat for me.

I've actually seen that kinda shit IRL in public restrooms pretty frequently.

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 59 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Is it just me getting unreasonably irritated when the artist captions the things they're depicting, as if we're either too dumb to understand or they suck at making subtle references?

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 68 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's a political comics thing that I believe originally started in England like 250 years ago. The comic is meant simultaneously to be funny and legitimate political propaganda. To ensure that the political propaganda message is not lost on the masses they label everything to make sure their message most clearly gets across.

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's actually cool to know, though I dislike the practice, they kinda look like previous century memes lol

For example, see this political cartoon from 1903.

That was lost on me either way, but I guess it's just my lack of knowledge on US's history 👀

[–] Phrodo_00@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The cartoon shows the US aligning with Panama separatist factions to break from Colombia so that they can permit the construction of the channel.

Panama was a separate colony from Colombia, but they joined when becoming independent.

I find it utterly hilarious that the cited purpose is clarity, but the referenced comic required explanation. Bravo.

Also thanks for the explanation because I wasn't getting it, either. Makes sense, though. Give it a few hundred years and English might be so different the labels wouldn't have mattered at all, let alone missing context.

Thanks for the explanation!

[–] vimdiesel@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's just the way political comics goes. It's expected and common. It's not a web comic, bruh; there's a tradition to maintain.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Not all political comics are like that though, the best ones don't need the labelling.

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 2 points 1 year ago

Well, I guess so, wasn't expeting a whole culture around these

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

This reminds me of a Ben Garrison cartoon. Way too heavy handed.

[–] Sarcastik@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's just you

[–] FormerlyChucks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ben Garrison does the same thing. It's pretty common

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn, now that's one that goes overboard!

[–] FormerlyChucks@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

At least when Garrison does it it's so over the top it's farcical and ridiculous which makes it funny unlike this comic

Ah yes, they're standing in x-crement.

[–] wheresmypillow@lemmy.one 18 points 1 year ago

Xitter.. pronounced like shitter.

[–] SuddenDownpour@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This post is difamation against goblins.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think that's a troll....

but agreed.

Also where's the crowd of khaki-wearing nazis?

[–] jossbo@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Supposed to be a troll I think, but that blatantly a goblin

Also the military cosplay guy has a swastika on his arm.

Nah this is just accurately stating the actual status of X as a metaphor, I like it.

[–] DarkDecay@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Lol i recently heard someone refer to tweets as xcrements now. Fits perfectly with this

[–] Prager_U@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

BRRRR skibidi bop bop bop yes yes

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Xitter, Jesus, you guys are amazing.

[–] vimdiesel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Shitter would have worked too

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That’s why you pronounce the X the Chinese way!

[–] pelley@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Who’s the guy on the right supposed to be?
