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

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago

Really?

Why isn't it labeled as such?

[-] GuerillaGorillas@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

Oh I thought there was an onion there.

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

...which was the style at the time.

[-] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Label maker 🅱️roke

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 month ago

Who is that lady outside?? I need labels!

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

How could you tell that was outside?

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

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

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

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

What do they think we're geniuses or something?

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

They think we're in on the schtick.

[-] heavy@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

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

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 15 points 1 month ago

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

[-] frezik@midwest.social 7 points 1 month 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.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 47 points 1 month ago

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

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago

What mod took down a Kelly cartoon? That's a crime!

[-] OttoVonNoob@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

I posted a Kelly it another community ,the mod didn't understand it's parody:X...

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month 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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Wow, these wayfair ads are 🔥

[-] GarrulousBrevity@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago
[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

He's standing behind the couch.

[-] Taco2112@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

[-] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 month ago

The guyliner

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month 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.
