Sinfest

He seems far left/Alt-Left. That said..... hard to say without talking to the guy, but the content of his comic bears that out.

And yeah, it probably would. Lauren was complaining about it, and she's a pretty tough lady, so it was bad!

In fairness, I believe I can come up with jokes at the man's expense that would actually be reasonably funny if I took the time to try. I'm just lazy and more interested in talking to people here and swearing at Capcom for Madhouse Difficulty.

Eh, to be honest, I don't really think that will happen. Could, but I don't see it occurring.

I don't typically concern myself with such things. What will be will be. I might not believe in god, but I DO believe in destiny.

In any event.... not a great joke. Inoffensive enough, though. I give it a "meh, bring back stoner Vainglorious"

I actually think Tats made more jokes about Trump right now than he did during Bush's administration. Then again back then he wasn't as hyper political as he is now.

True. Again, I mostly want stoned VG back.

That shit was hilarious.

If this was back in old Sinfest days, then we would actually see V be an actual good rival for the Devil's spot.

Veering off to another topic, I saw this spoof news item and immediately thought of Monique, the talented, successful, revered IT-Girl.

Does anyone revere slam poets? Do any of them become rich and famous? Can anyone even name one without resorting to Google or Wikipedia?

-crickets-

*tumbleweed blows in the wind*

Nope, got nothing.

We'd sooner find a Honest Tzeentch cultist

I think Trump-drone (does he have a name yet?) should get into Sam Bot, so he can annoy Sam/interfere with the robot.

That, at least, would be fun, and leaves plenty of room for more satire.

Hey, maybe he can fire Milton, somehow. :D Tats, make it happen. :D

I kind of want to see that!

Why do I have a feeling that joke about the Trump drone will eventually get worn out?

It already wore out its welcome, but it would at least be something different for a while.

This "LOOK GUYS, TRUMP HAS TINY HANDS AND NOBODY LIKES HIM" shtick isn't making anyone happy.

This is the same guy who made a satire on Iraq after the Iraq War ended.

Well Milton should already be fired for not making Sambot a combiner

That would be awesome.

"Wow, guys, we have like, the best, flying robot, it's — most people don't even know, how yuge it is, believe me, I've seen it, I mean of course I've seen it, I'm in it right now, hahah, but the people, I've seen the people who don't even know how yuge it is, the crowds, they — look, see, I brought maps to share, showing where the people who don't even how how yuge our flying robot is, you can see, how many people don't even know, believe me."

At least the Trumpdrone is satire rather than adoration.

Did Barackstar ever use a Tele Promp Ter?

Come to think of it, did Sinfest ever even mention Bush? If not, then thank you for that, Tatsue!

That's why I wonder why he never did it. On the other hand, it would have probably been the usual Bush criticisms seen throughout his administration.

Bush did shortly after Obama was elected. He was show as a very bad country music singer that's band was replacing him with Barackstar

I think you're misremembering the strip in question. Barackstar was about to follow up this band performing this part of this song:

And Barackstar just remarked that they suck and he better go on immediately.

See, Tats can have a song be the punchline to a joke successfully, without requiring the audience be able to read music!

While trying to find that strip, I just came across this one, which is maybe what you're thinking of:

Though I don't think that's supposed to be country, but rather, Michael Jackson:

That was the last time we saw Barakstar.

it was actually the first one I was thinking.been a while since I went back.

I'm going to be honest, I would honestly like to see Trump-Drone fly away, and like, a week later, Sam' Mech flies into a massivve fuck-off ultra secure wall face-first.

Trump Drone flutters over, sits on top on the wall "Told you I built the best ones."

Cue Sam rage.

Not really satire, but it would be funny.

More phrasing...

More awkward memeing.
