Still not a fan of pizzacakecomics. The ones that are supposed to be funny aren't, imho, and the political ones are way too heavy-handed for my taste.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I agree with the content, but for a comic that's on the reddit frontpage all the time it's an incredibly crude way of getting the point across.

i think it’s a fairly good satire of the situation… of course musk didn’t say he was a nazi, but he did give the contemporary neo-nazi salute of hitting his chest first… twice in a row, the same way….

and there’s actually an argument as to whether or not he meant it… even though it’s not ambiguous at all, and he’s had a history of promoting far-right content, the AfD, and his wealth originates in Apartheid South Africa and is obviously soak in blood….

it’s pretty absurd that anyone would deny it.

True, but then again it's exactly what you'd expect from them these days. And even if it wasn't – this comic is so darn plump I have a hard time seeing it as satire.

Plus, the creator drawing both caracters as ugly braindead idiots makes up half the 'joke' here. If ones satirical abilities are so non-existant they need to degrade the physical appearance of their opponents (however vile their views and actions may be) in their works, maybe it's just time to give up and do something they don't completely fail at.

completely fail.

i wish i was completely failing at comics like that… i could handle that level of success.

i’m sorry you don’t like it, it’s a webcomic though, don’t lose any sleep over it.
