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.
This is the comic of The Onion, it's a satire of political cartoons
Satire sure, but also an actual political cartoon in its own right.
Really?
Why isn't it labeled as such?
Top right corner has it labeled from The Onion, actually, though it’s a pretty tiny font.
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.
Oh I thought there was an onion there.
The people down voting you are so proud of having spotted the satire in the OP, and yet...
...which was the style at the time.
Label maker 🅱️roke
Who is that lady outside?? I need labels!
How could you tell that was outside?
Because it's separated by a...uhh...what's it called? Dammit, why didn't they label it?
I thought this was purposefully making fun of Ben Garrison, but now I'm not sure.
Totally, this is the cartoon of The Onion. It's satire.
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.
*latest fad
I'm going to need a label to understand this comment.
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)"
What do they think we're geniuses or something?
They think we're in on the schtick.
