I'm just poking a little fun at your earlier reductionism. You're right, it's just a stick figure. A real human has not been hurt.
My main issue with the comic is that it's not particularly funny. To me. The zingers don't really zing. It's just someone whaling on someone else for three panels. And since I'm not catching onto the humor, all I'm left with is the weird feeling that the comic is condoning that kind of behavior.
- autoreleasepool 12y agoYou're overthinking a cartoon in attempt to find malice where there is none. I'm sorry you didnt find it funny, but that doesn't mean it was written to be anything else but humorous. There's nothing sinister in this cartoon, no matter what you feel. You might as well accuse all cartoonists of condoning their characters' outlandish behaviors. (e.g. "The writers of the Simpsons must condone child abuse because I didn't find the humor in Homer choking his son" ... Give me a break.)
- chasing 12y agoThe cartoon was clearly meant to be humorous. The humor fell flat. So the cartoon just comes off as mean. It's not the end of the world. I'm not going to attempt to reconcile it with Pig Pen and Homer Simpson in some effort to create Chasing's Grand Unified Theory of What Is and Is Not Mean-Spirited.
