The Coronavirus Debate
🕑 Added 2020-04-05 16:39:15 +0000 UTCThere isn't really any clever jokework here, obviously- just a low iq bit of timed political satire. Surely, with this double-sided blade of a comic I have fully lopped off the heads of both parties in one fell swoop. Of course, the 'both parties suck!' shtick has been around for decades, but I felt the need to make this after it seemed to mutate into a remarkably grotesque form after this latest pandemic, where so much has been laid bare- Democrats literally herding the elderly into the slaughterhouse just to drive a nail further into the already nigh-confirmed Biden nomination, as well as many of them being literally outflanked by republicans on their Covid relief bill. Even as a cynic, I was genuinely shocked by this level of death cult depravity. There was no sense of lesser-evilism, no band-aid thrown on a gushing wound-- just uncut sadism.
While brainstorming ideas for a brutal political comic, I had a vivid image appear in my head of Joe Biden, positioned contra Trump, turning the dial on a magical wristwatch, Ben 10 style, so that it says 'Rape Mode Engage'. For obvious reasons, that route was not taken.
