Imagining an alternate universe where Communism won the cold war and enough boomers would get this joke to justify putting it in a newspaper
This is my all time favorite boomer comic. The artist demonstrates a passable ability to represent a human, and then creates that unfathomable cubist representation that we clock as a disdainful human face despite it lacking any form or signifier that would mark it as one. Baudrillard is spinning in his grave at the fifth level of abstraction that this comic artist has blindly stumbled into. The juxtaposition between human and other is shockingly stark. It should immediately be clocked that something is wrong with the father's appearance, it shouldn't even register as a human, and yet our brains leap across the uncanny valley between the two and go "Yeah, human, checks out" without consciously realizing the abomination should not pass the most basic tickle of pareidolia.
Literally lol’d reading this. And it’s also so true - before reading this comment, I thought nothing of the father’s appearance, but the more I look at it now, the crazier it becomes.
truly this guy is up there with duchamp among artists that makes statements about art
I can't stop laughing, omg someone help me, it's the fourth time this day that I see this post and start laughing uncontrollably
I do self-criticism constantly because I’m trapped in a ML family where my comrade (dad) criticize me mercilessly. He won’t let me read Settlers because it's Third-Worldism and "vulgar anti-imperialism" is "anti-proletariat"
Your dad is based

Communist Kelly comics would be a hit around here. Have a chain smoking vodka drinking bolshevik dad freaking out that his son is a sober vegan*

Fixed it
I used to think Gramsci was some ancient mathematician who coined the measurement “grams,” and Bookchin was an insult for nerds
2 Chainz has a verse about this
Grams to Gramsci, two guns Yosemite
I thought that Gramsci is some sort of an abbreviation, like newspeak or politburo
God damn, this hits
Read Settlers? Back in my day we would "read" our local party paper before "settling" into our local slumlord's office for some direct action. smh kids these days.
