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
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.
hold up
I’ve actually seen that kinda shit IRL in public restrooms pretty frequently.
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 I believe originally started in England like
250at least 350 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.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 👀
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!
These sorts of comics have been captioned like this for decades. I’m not sure if they were ever not captioned.
If anything I think they were even more obvious back then… The Troll would have had “Troll” written on their laptop and so on…

Definitely just a cute little goblin hanging out in the toilet, annoyed that all these chumps have rocked up and interrupted his computer time
I’ve seen some done in the 1800s. Captioned.
At this point it’s a staple of the genre.
This reminds me of a Ben Garrison cartoon. Way too heavy handed.
It’s just you

Not enough labels
Also it would have to get everything wrong with complete confidence.
Ah yes, they’re standing in x-crement.
Xitter… pronounced like shitter.
they forgot the saudi king sitting on a throne of dead migrant bodies
Lol i recently heard someone refer to tweets as xcrements now. Fits perfectly with this
Truly a shitpost.
𝕏itter
BRRRR skibidi bop bop bop yes yes
Who’s the guy on the right supposed to be?
De Santis
Of course!
4chan edgelord convinced that his shit don’t stink made this possible.
Xitter, Jesus, you guys are amazing.
Errrrhmmmm, it’s X, actually
But Xitter will make Elon fanboys mad, so it’s worth the misspelling.
I love the fact that everything must also be labeled for the stupid libtards.
Unlike the label free work of Ben Garrison.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Ben Garrison. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of political philosophy most of the jokes will go over a typical reader’s head. There’s also Ben’s perennialist outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Nouvelle Droite literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Ben Garrison truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Ben’s antimodernist catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Solzhenitsyn’s Russian epic Gulag Archipelago. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Ben’s genius wit unfolds itself on their phone screens. What fools… how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Trump tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
