Usually this would be were one of us relates this to woke culture and the author tells us that they don’t want this to be political or something. But you know what I think? I think that Gus Gilborn and the people under his sway are actually an allegory for not just the hypocritical pc bs, with the alt left, but the far right with the trump supporters as well, along with everything similar throughout history that has it’s basis on painting itself as good and heroic to get away with horrible things.
‘A story about a wealthy grifter who ruins people’s lives is of course readily comparable to WOKE and PC GONE MAD because of the ALT LEFT, but maybe this could even extend further than that in this case’ is certainly some kind of take.
I mean, yeah? You’re doing the very standard American moderate thing where you insubstantively take the tack of “perhaps the truth is in the middle and there are bad people on both sides” to appear to be a serious thinker as opposed to completely failing to engage with issues with any intellectual rigor. Gus Gilborn is archetypical billionaire fucking around and finding out, ie, capital. Capital is in no way associated with the “alt left” which is not a term that describes anything in popular political discourse.
I was more thinking that Gus Gilborn is similar to Donald Trump, along with every real life villainous movement being characterized by thoroughly painting themselves as the good guys instead of the proud to be evil cartoon villains, not to mention that those of us who are closer to the middle see the alt left and far right as basically the same, but you’re right, the shadow circus member’s self righteous attitude and hypocrisy is very reminiscent of sjws.
Man the silence from Binky at the end is deafening, that is the face of a man who just realized they were overly emotional in the exact wrong way for their demeanor.
You bastards gotta quit smoking crack, this cartoon clown man has held the same facial expression for the entirety of this page, and most of the entire comic hahahahahaha!
It’s fine. If dozens of people posted that at every update it would be annoying, but it’s infrequent enough that it’s fun. I just realized that I caught up about a year ago… that’s a little scary…
cancel culture has gone too far

It’s an impressive feat of gymnastics is what it is. Would be great material for a clown routine if it wasn’t entierly mental.
Wait, are you calling this theory mental gymnastics?

I take it you were home sick the day they were passing out subtlety.
Alpha, nobody asked, please stop talking about just read the comic.

Even worse, he might have to admit Anesthesia was… more right than he assumed.
