I don't understand the kelly slop. Is his work supposed to be satire? am I missing something or just stupid? His stuff gets posted all the time and I dont know why anyone likes it.

it's the onion. it's a parody of right wing cartoonists. it's like parody Ben Garrison.

the comic in the OP is meant to being making fun of the way that conservative men view women. the same people are in both panels and the adult son resembles the man, same clothing and hair. the comic says "forge a relationship with my adult son", however it safe to say that the son belongs to both of them. the comic portrays the man as the victim, despite him being an absent father to his own son.

The guy who draws them (Ward Sutton) is a LIB though.

wow that's the first time that I am learning this. I had assumed that the random american cartoonist was a radical marxist based on cartoons that they had drawn for a satirical internet newspaper. (me if I was delusional)

it's an internet comic. sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's not. it's safe to say that 95% of web comics are made by liberals. it's okay to laugh at comics.

Weirdly aggressive response. I had assumed he may have been further left than he actually was, since in some of his cartoons he, for example, mocks anti-China hysteria.
