Don't forget the actual artist believes this unironically

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's probably why he can channel Kelly so well

How is this not Ben Garrison

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

I gave it a good honest try, but I cannot find this dude's actual opinion on anything. His social media is just 99.9% reposting things other people said, and they're also all deeply irony poisoned, so I cannot discern where the character ends and the man begins.

Do you have something specific I can link to people? Everyone needs their feet held to the fire sometimes—even real sickos.

Than we would he make this comic when the entire joke is how stupid he seems

Ward Sutton, who writes the Kelly comics is a huge lib. This is probably the farthest he's ever let the mask slip on a Kelly comic in recent memory.

i think this comic from a while ago was the moment of disillusionment with sutton/kelly for many of us. as @glans pointed out, most of his stan kelly cartoons are so satirical it’s difficult to pin him down on any positive stance

I dunno, I think that one is more of a jab at how conservatives don't have any material critiques against Biden, and also that these shows are wildly unfunny and use this exact joke dozens of times per episode. I think he's somewhat more radical than your average lib, although likely not a full blown commie either

hmmm I think all of these are very smartly done because you can kind of read them in multiple different ways and take from it what you want. the tone of smug superiority toward the reader is conveyed in any case. which everyone (including me) loves and is susceptible to. It's a question of how you read them on the scale between literal and ironic.

commented on the wrong one, whoops.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

They've really been ruined for me ever since having to consider what parts of the comic are his actual beliefs.

zizek-theory ward sutton here reveals himself to be a true believer, deep down in his heart, in the ideals lady liberty represents. that while he'll present some americans as tacitly condoning the genocide in gaza, he cannot bring himself to represent the spirit of america as truly condoning the atrocity, even through his satirical persona of stan kelly. he did not forget. her absence was intentional, although perhaps subconscious.

Pretty blackpilled to have that Palestinian family looking down from heaven

[–] Blep@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

It would be if he didn't have living people in the heaven corner all the time

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

It's a citique on maybe-later-honey chiding protestors for being disruptive and how it's "disrespectful" to the dead. How liberals shame you for giving a shit instead of shutting up so they can have brunch in peace.

The white family is satire of the "law and order" frothingfash right wing.

"Vandalism-deploring Palestinians" holy shit how is this not satire

[–] robinn_IV@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

It is, in fact, satire

[–] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looking at this with a massive grain of salt lol, feels like an ally baiting some insaneo agreements
