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?
It’s a political comics thing that has its roots in England around
250300 years ago. The comic is meant simultaneously to be funny (and therefore disarming) 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.For example, see this political cartoon from 1903.

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 👀
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.
Well, I guess so, wasn’t expeting a whole culture around these
Not all political comics are like that though, the best ones don’t need the labelling.
It’s just you
This reminds me of a Ben Garrison cartoon. Way too heavy handed.
This post is difamation against goblins.

Supposed to be a troll I think, but that blatantly a goblin
Also the military cosplay guy has a swastika on his arm.

Xitter, Jesus, you guys are amazing.
Shitter would have worked too
That’s why you pronounce the X the Chinese way!

Errrrhmmmm, it’s X, actually
But Xitter will make Elon fanboys mad, so it’s worth the misspelling.
