    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.

    I don’t understand someone this good can be this smooth brained.

    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 !
