But a Jape

“I was willing to listen to him until he started accusing himself of being a Nazi! I just couldn’t take him seriously knowing he would throw a word like that around so erroneously.”

– Red Hoodie

I came up with this comic very shortly after I made the original. My intention with the original comic was to communicate the idea, “Even when Nazi sympathizers make their sympathies as obvious as possible, people will still make excuses for why they couldn’t possibly be Nazi sympathizers.” And yet, that comic still received comments of, “Well, the ‘Nazi’ could just be being ironic!” and “Maybe he’s just an actor playing a Nazi in a movie and the cameras are just out of view?” and “Well, maybe if people like Green Shirt never called non-Nazis Nazis before, Red Hoodie would be more willing to believe him?”

Anyway, Elon Musk Sieg-Heiled twice on live television in front of millions and people are still arguing whether or not he did what we all saw him do. And like, what do I do now? What is political satire? Do I do this anymore? Should I just make inoffensive cat comics now? I don’t have a cat. I don’t want a cat. Do I have to get a cat?
