Boomer comics complaining about the kids and their damn cell phones
- Thread starter Sun's Resting Place
- Start date
Boomer comic logic:
Fighting for freedom is good.
Exercising freedom is bad.
The only thing you should do after war is make another war.
Where the fuck that boy get a left handed 6 button saturn pad at?
This works better if the belt goes right to left.
And this of course works better as:
"Socialism is like a drug you guuuuyz!"
Also, here's some laziness.
This guy won a Pulitzer. ... I think it should be revoked.

A Pro-Trump-turned-Boomer-meme facebook page "World USA" was revealed to be operated by Ukrainians.

Nostalgia and cheap shows of patriotism, pitched towards old folks susceptible to scams, conspiracies and actually-fake news sources.
Is Jesus American?So... millenials are ahead in the phone industry just like the Soviets were in the space race?
It's gotta suck when you're living in fucking Ben Garrison's shadow. And don't even get me start Jon McNaughton, the king of Gen-X political artwork:

This is the only message I can take from this if I'm generous enough to believe the artist had a point beyond hating Drag Queen Story time.
There's... a lot here that doesn't add up.
There are no labels on this, how are we supposed to know what anything is without labels!?!
In which Ben reveals he's totally into dictatorships, and tracing Archie Comics.
I think Ben is done pretending and has now fully embraced that he loves dictatorships.
The other day he posted a cartoon that he claims is anti-China but it can totally be seen as pro CCP propoganda. It's Xi performing a slam dunk on a basketball hoop (with the backboard saying Hong Kong and shattering) while he steps on a few apologetic NBA players while a coach says "please don't be mean to Xi". Only thing that's anti-China about it is Xi drawn as Pooh Bear.
If you recall the 60s, boomers didn't want to do that either.
Boomers are old people, the really old people are their parents. Just like teenagers aren't millennials.
I think the idea of the comic is that even Fox News has had to admit that Trump is a criminal. It isn't sarcasm, it's irony. It's a conservative household where the wife is assuming the husband is watching CNN because the sound bites sound like the "wrong side." Modern political commentary is super partisan, constantly pointing out the failures of the other side while never wanting to admit that the one you support could have done wrong. But Trump is so bad that the last bastion of mainstream conservatism, Fox News, has had to start admitting the worst things he does wrong. Orange man bad isn't the punch line, it's the premise.

Who doesn't love Archie Comics, tbh.
If someone shoped confused John Travolta into this one, I'd love them forever.
Winners marry Betty, chumps settle for Fox News and Veronica.
Legit lol on this one.Looks like a new set of parodies are starting to roll in.
OMG, now this... THIS is art. You've done it. You've earned eternal love. Thank you
Back in 2012 I stayed at a hotel in Oklahoma that had the first two framed and hung on the wall in the lobby, as well as some other similar pictures. It was pretty bizarre.It's gotta suck when you're living in fucking Ben Garrison's shadow. And don't even get me start Jon McNaughton, the king of Gen-X political artwork:
They also had a calendar that only went to November 6, 2012 because it was supposed to count down the days to Obama's defeat lol
Is that supposed to be Jesus or Aragorn in that first one? He's got the White Tree of Gondor on his breast.
I also wonder what mini-story is going on over there between John Quincy Adams and Abe Lincoln --"Lookit dis guy, huh?"
I came to post it lol
I know this thread isn't only for political comics, but I need help deciphering this Garrison masterpiece, because I have no fucking clue what any of this means:
That kid's drawing the elder sign, but that's supposed to ward off cosmic monstrosities.This works better if the belt goes right to left.
