I only just found out Stan Kelly made those cartoons for the onion. I'd assumed he was some chud that started off doing normal less explicitly satirical strips but really leaned into it after realizing people found it funny, but otherwise blissfully unaware who his audience had become.

Half of the humor was looking at one of his panels and debating whether it was actually satire or if :kelly: was just like that.

Rip to my childlike innocence

    I remember seeing this, but I definitely did not remember them saying that Chuck Schumer and Mike Bloomberg "must be eliminated" lmao

    Edit: on the other side of the coin with this, tonally they use a similar framing to Disney a al Killmonger in Black Panther when the weather presenter goes Kubrick Stare with a demon voice and a black background
