Amazing how conservative punditry hasn't aged a day since Watchmen
I really dig this artstyle, hate the messaging of course. I don’t understand someone this good can be this smooth brained. Has that old-school 2000 A.D. British comic look.

That's because the same artist also did stuff for that. In fact, both the writer and artist worked on 2000 AD.

That panel in particular is satire: it's a comic from an in-universe fascist rag that's sort of tangential to the plot of a fascist incel anti-hero who's a bloodthirsty lunatic who's notably wrong about almost everything.
I don't know anything about the artist's politics, but the writer, Alan Moore, is a self-described anarchist who tore into Frank Miller over Frank Miller being a bigoted fascist weirdo.
Hold up, this is from Watchmen? Is don’t remember this panel, what it from a different edition? Am I being a goober, when does this panel show up? Am I forgetting an entire section? The website in the original post isn’t loading for me.
Oh okay. I pulled that link on the desktop and I see what’s going on. I remember now. I feel like this a sign I need to re-read the graphic novel I got on my bookshelf. I was hoodwinked by my own poor memory. Time to re-read Watchmen for sure !
This is because it's a fake political comic in a right-wing newspaper inside another comic (Watchmen)
When does this happen in the comic? I forget. Was this panel in a later edition of the comic?
No it's from the OG. It's just such a pitch-perfect imitation of the conservative soul that it's timeless.
@CARCOSA@hexbear.net cleared up my confusion. I was just being a goober and forgot this section in the comic. I am gonna re-read it as penance for my transgression against the gods of great comics
That's one of the comics within the comic. Or do you mean Watchmen in general?
Oh I didn’t even realize this was watchmen until the other user mentioned it. I don’t remember this panel on at all.

This panel might be satire, but Steve Ditko was a great comic book artist and he turned into an Ayn Rand weirdo.
So that's where Kelly got the tearful Statue of Liberty from.
Is... is the $$ glasses guy supposed to be simultaneously jewish and german?
