I'm sure this is meant to be on the nose satire, but it's in awfully bad taste.

Wait. Is this meant sincerely without an irony?

No. All of these comics are satire. Note the lady liberty crying in the background. There’s one in every comic.

Also the “Onion Syndicate” in the top right.

Is it supposed to be funny?

[–] FourPacketsOfPeanuts 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I didn't find this one funny but some of the others are funny through absurdity

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes. And it succeeds.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I see. I will commence laughing shortly.

You will be graded by a panel of randomly selected peers, so make it count.

Ha ok, seeing some of the others makes the context perfectly clear :)
