Why is it that everytime I see this artist nowadays it's just a preachy kill-a-strawman comic? I remember them being funny back in the day, what happened? Did they change, did I? Am I mistaking a shite copycat for an artist I remember fondly? Is this what senility feels like? How was your day?

Is it really a strawman when we see actual headlines about public figures acting this way?

A strawman? What the fuck are you talking about?

He apparently identified with the arrogant man in the comic.

Why would I answer a self-avowed big stupid idiot who poops their pants and kisses their sister???

I just built a little model of a person! Let's call him lagoon8622.

lagoon8622: "I'm a big stupid idiot who poops his pants and loves to kiss his sister"

Whoa! You heard it here, folks. Sure it's just a model of him, but I am insinuating that this could be a real conversation that really happened. Everyone please base your opinion of lagoon8622 off of this hastily constructed model I created.

you see, when somebody says something mean to you online, spending your time on 4-panel is the best way to prove how not mad you are, consult some Dobson webcomics if you need examples.
