She's countering our truth-like lies with fake-sounding truth!
This is gold. I might have to steal it slightly.
Feels like a classic Simpson's quip, author really nailed their comedy style.
Rueben Bolling's comics are nearly always just as on-point as this. Well worth following.
Never occurred to me that Ned Flanders would have sheltered Anne Frank, but it tracks.
Flanders is a devout Christian, but one that actually follows the teachings so he takes the love thy neighbour part seriously.
This is what I hate about religion. In concept it sounds great. A bunch of rules for how to live as a good person. Sounds great right?
Well the first rule of christianity is "Thou shalt not kill".
And then you realize that the leading cause of murder on earth throughout all of history is........religious wars.
And it's all downhill from there from a hyprcritical standpoint. Religion is used more as a tool to justify ones shitty behavior, rather than a guide to prevent it.
The only good christian I know of, is Ned Flanders, and he's not a real person!
But what if they are gay or worship other gods than us?

The centre image is sheer magnificent genius.
Agreed, very well done.
Using 45 as a swastika is well done.
Shes countering our truth-like lies with fake-sounding truth! Get her!
Lmao
I could see that line actually being in the Simpsons.
Kind of dark but idk why, the last column with Ned did it for me.
Cause at the end of the day, those people would still exist even in an insane world.
Well, not "kind" of dark, but really dark. I mean, the cartoon couldn't be more direct in comparing the "haitian Simpsons" to the jews and other racial minorities in Nazi Germany, with the last panel being a page from the life of Anne Frank.
Me seeing the swastika in the preview image:
"Welp......guess I gotta wait for nobody to be around me before I look at THAT!!!!"
Me after seeing it:
"Glad I waited until I was alone."
That's not even a swastika it's a 45. It just really feels like it's a swastika when you see the fanta fascist.
............wow. If you hadn't pointed that out, I would have never even noticed that detail. My brain just saw that as a swastica.
Not sure how this is a shitpost.
This is dead on. Tomthedancingbug, awesome again (as almost always).
I never realized until now why they use the "45" so much. Just move one of the black bars and it's a fucking swastika... And Haitians are really a stand-in for black people.
The real problem is that we allowed the plutocrats to control both the news and social media and the government. Basically the US doesn't have a free press any more but a quasi-government controlled oligarch media. As long as these neoliberal policies continue the degradation of institutions and politics continues.
Something drastic would need to happen to purge this incredibly power imbalance from the captured state. A kind of reformation or practically a coup.
That's almost too real
Ok fine but WHERE IS THEIR CAT?!?
Theyâre currently between Snowball II and Snowball V.
Nice touch that Trump has to keep notes of the complicated words.
Haven't watched the simpsons in a while.....did they do this?
checks notes
Oh. Well then. This may be a rare case where the simpsons DIDN'T do it. Real life did it first.
Yikes
Don't have a cow, man.
Have a dog instead
Put it all in don't have a cow
A BIG STRONG GUY WITH TEARS IN THEIR EYES ASKED FOR A BUCKET OF BLOOD!
explanation
description of this comic
Haitians put the Spring in Springfield tbh
Good at heart but easily twisted.
Thanks for that. Love that man.
I mean the points are all correct but fuck this comic sucks.
How does it suck? Is pretty much spot on throughout. Sucks that this is what we're living in, but the comic makes it easier to relate to the hell we're sharing.
