I know far side isn’t exactly political, but I’m an arts guy so I’ll say that absurdism is an inherently political choice.

They don’t have to be old school either, but since the form has mostly fallen out of favour, the golden era of the top quality stuff is in the past.

I just love reading funny little cartoons. I guess they were the precursor to memes. I don’t even care if they’re lib or right wing bullshit, I recently read a collection of Pat Oliphant’s work, and even though most of it wasn’t very politically accurate, nor was it particularly funny, it was still enjoyed ironically.

Any picks?

        For future reference, how are you posting that link? Is it exactly like I see here with the exclamation, or was it done as a c/community_name, or…?

        And thanks for posting these comics. It’s been a real treat seeing where the characters started out.

          That communitylink is just exclamation mark, community name, @ instance.

          I’m not the one posting these, but your initial link somehow morphed into a mention of my username.
          Anyway, credit to MrSebSin for posting these.

      Ha, nice. I totally forgot there was loads of communities on here. I’ve seen all the far side stuff before but it’s good to see them again. Thanks, good call.

      How do you subscribe to it from hexbear though?

        The user who posts these actually answered this question several hours earlier. See their reply right below yours for the correct link (since I apparently don’t know how to post Lemmy links yet).
