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 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. Panama_canal_cartoon_1903.jpg
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.
I’m guessing you just don’t know History very well, i didn’t need any sort of explanation to understand the comic.
Good for you! Totally and completely irrelevant to my point.
The comic already required explanation … while it had text on it. Nothing you say, do, or believe will EVER change the fact that the comic required explanation about as soon as it was posted.
Grow up and realize you are not the main character. Your beliefs or knowledge do not change reality.
Thanks for the explanation!

I don’t necessary know about the intelligence part, I’ve seen plenty of braindead political cartoons
I’ll have you know I put a lot of effort into my own memes
I’m not seeing too many labels. You get an F for this political meme, good sir!
… I know it’s not political, but how am I to know without labels??
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.
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.
Not all political comics are like that though, the best ones don’t need the labelling.
Well, I guess so, wasn’t expeting a whole culture around these
This reminds me of a Ben Garrison cartoon. Way too heavy handed.
It’s just you
Ben Garrison does the same thing. It’s pretty common
Damn, now that’s one that goes overboard!
At least when Garrison does it it’s so over the top it’s farcical and ridiculous which makes it funny unlike this comic
Well, his audience seems to pretty obviously need things spelled out for them. In very, very short words.
Ah yes, they’re standing in x-crement.
Xitter… pronounced like shitter.

Not enough labels
Also it would have to get everything wrong with complete confidence.

Yeah, who’s the man and the toilet and the child holding the sign?
they forgot the saudi king sitting on a throne of dead migrant bodies
This post is difamation against goblins.
I think that’s a troll…
but agreed.
Also where’s the crowd of khaki-wearing nazis?
Supposed to be a troll I think, but that blatantly a goblin
Also the military cosplay guy has a swastika on his arm.
yes.
Lol i recently heard someone refer to tweets as xcrements now. Fits perfectly with this
Truly a shitpost.
Nah this is just accurately stating the actual status of X as a metaphor, I like it.
𝕏itter
BRRRR skibidi bop bop bop yes yes
Xitter, Jesus, you guys are amazing.
Shitter would have worked too
That’s why you pronounce the X the Chinese way!
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.

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