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.
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...
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.
...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.
The best part is how this will be associated with him until he dies.
Or as long as he remains relevant. Which hopefully will be a short time.
What mod took down a Kelly cartoon? That's a crime!
I posted a Kelly it another community ,the mod didn't understand it's parody:X...
Absolute perfection.
Only complaint is a lack of Sicko, otherwise it’s a great Kelly.
Sometimes after a hard day, all it takes is a Sicko to cheer me right the fuck up for a bit.
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.
These comics are made by the onion. It's entire point is to make fun of comics like Garrison's
Yes, that's the idea. It's satire of political cartoons.
Wow, these wayfair ads are 🔥
But where's the child?
He's standing behind the couch.
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.
