Web-cartoonist foisting their political beliefs on the reader

Justice4243 · 2012-06-10 15:07:08

I'm SICK to death of web-comic creators using their comics as a way to force a political agenda on an unsuspecting audience!

It seems to be increasingly common practice that web-comics are no longer about telling an entertaining stories and merely a platform for pushing the views of the creator.

Take is borderline Communist propaganda:

Good God, why don't you just invite Stalin to your little Communism party. Lenin, Marx, Engles...even Mao Zendong shows up in panel four to bestow "sustenance" on the character that clearly representing the people of China. Clearly, our character representing the people of Europe approves.

And let's not forgot the "All American" figure in the upper left-hand corner of the last panel also smiling and approving on this whole debacle.

As if that wasn't enough, the reader is treated to "Pat Buchanen" scrawled onto the page, a clear reference to reform party candidate, "Pat Buchanan."

We get it, already! You think American politics need to be "reformed". As to what I can hardly imagine. *eye-role*

Clearly, our character representing the people of Europe approves.

Wait, what?

Justice4243 · 2012-06-10 15:12:44

IKOWRITE?!

Such blatant political fantasy foisted on the reader!

Ace Rimmer · 2012-06-10 15:16:01

You're telling me its a political fantasy foisted on the reader.

I for one am sick of Andrew Hussie's systematic campaign against America's proud farmlands. "What pumpkin?" Only the pumpkin of our national pride, HUSSIE!

Justice4243 · 2012-06-10 15:27:47

It's like no work can go untainted from this blatant political jockeying.

WOW! Angry at military spending, much?

Tell us what you REALLY think!

I dunno. Use your really long tentacles or something.

Just look at this strip from Gunnerkrigg Court!

It's bad enough that the Court was already a straight-up utopia presented completely uncritically, but now the solution to all problems is privatized education‽

And robots? Teach the controversy, Siddell! There needs to be a representation of the other side in the science versus nature debate! Too bad there is absolutely nothing like that to be found in the comic.

Webcomics are destroying America.

Jay Naylor.

I guess he did some Lackadaisy fanart.

I do like his style, even if he isn't the greatest person.

Is the concept of "being silly" just totally lost on you?

Corporal Forsythe · 2012-06-10 23:29:41

Potlicks in comiks is th neu wavfe

Obā-san · 2012-06-10 23:34:46

^ ^ You need to ask

Justice4243 · 2012-06-11 02:01:34

^^ Pffft, tell me about it.

Get this! The same person who did the comic I posted in the OP has done a TON of these things, his art has improved, but he jams his comics with little statements.

*sigh* Yes, yes, we get it. Transhumanism is amazing. Geesh.

Ace Rimmer · 2012-06-11 07:09:21

No not really.

Corporal Forsythe · 2012-06-11 08:28:24

This guy is obviously a communist

Lunchbox seems bored by it, though.

Corporal Forsythe · 2012-06-11 11:44:14

I just realized that photo in the final panel background is backwards

Imipolex G · 2012-06-11 11:50:27

Fail.

You know you don't have to fess up to this sort of stuff, if someone catches it, you can tell them it was intentional and no one would doubt it. :P

Corporal Forsythe · 2012-06-11 12:40:09

Yes but I made the effort to drive out to the edge of town with all my photographic equipment to capture that picture. I wonder how I made it so that it came out backwards. Hmm

It is real, but a word salad. As best I can tell, that applies for pretty much every character (except, if memory serves that one-shot spider who spoke German).

Justice4243 · 2012-06-13 00:29:30

Wow, "The nail that stands out gets hammered." This comic is pro-conformist as well! But what would you expect from a borderline communist manifesto.

We get it, there'll be no "Roseanne Barr"s in this new utopia society.

What's great is that post almost makes sense... :P

Imipolex G · 2012-06-13 00:32:45

This one seems to be anti-TV.

Well, I can agree with that.

Justice4243 · 2012-06-13 00:39:37

^ It's only in there because he thinks everyone will to busy working "for the party" to watch TV.

Sure, bring up Mcarthyism, it's like he's not even TRYING to be subtle as the strip goes on.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-06-13 00:42:22

so....

Deco is Big Brother?

Justice4243 · 2012-06-13 00:45:06

American big brother!

Or a representation of the European nations when it's convenient to foist his communist fantasies onto her.

Justice4243 · 2012-06-13 20:03:46

Oh look, anti-capitalism. How clever.

...I think I need a new Web-comic to pick on...This surreal stuff is getting too easy to foist a political message on. :P

KJI · 2012-06-13 20:17:24

lol he literally made a comic justifying the war in vietnam, so fuck him

and this new webcomic thing is p. trippy
