Sinfest

I do agree as well that it is a step too far. Also, I think it is kind of a weak-sauce way to end it. Let him fail by complete and utter economical attrition. There are several bonuses for NOT shutting him down via the hate speech route:

1) You don't prop him up as a martyr. 2) You prove to the world that there is no audience large enough to sustain his viewpoints 3) By shutting him down via hate speech you are technically proving him right. He will forever have an excuse for his failure outside of himself. If his comic fails by loss of interest, perhaps it will give him the shot of humility he needs.

Besides, even if it is hate speech, the people who try to silence people by appeal to authority strike me as the thinnest-skinned people out there.

I just came to talk about how horrible Sinfest is.

Y'know what would be funny? If that isn't Lil'E and Tange on those cupcakes, just two generic devil-people Nana put on for Halloween and Xanthe is just seeing what she wants to see.

So, pretty much what happened with Alex Jones and his followers. Or pretty much any nutjob who gains a following.

Actually, yeah. After I watched this I just realized that Tatsuya is basically a feminist version of Alex Jones.

Hmm. I suspect that Muslims won't appreciate having the Star and Crescent appropriated by the Woke Wiccan community ...

It's a wiccan/neopagan moon symbol - it's 3 phases of the moon with a pentagram for protection in the full moon (and marking the cardinal directions).

I would only consider it a woke symbol in the sense a lot of wiccans believe in mother goddess primacy

Try this link: - https://explorewicca.com/wiccan-symbols/

The star and crescent is both a different symbol, apparently older than the foundation of Islam, and quite a few Muslims would probably disagree as it being representative of Islam in general

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_and_crescent if you're interested

Protective magics via the medium of symbolized cupcakes. It's halfway interesting at least

Wonder if that means Tats has started running around skyclad? Now there's a sight for the brain bleach

Well, like Christianity, Islam has a thing against witcraft as well. However, as you said that's a Wiccan symbol.

It's a wiccan/neopagan moon symbol - it's 3 phases of the moon with a pentagram for protection in the full moon .

Yes, that is a Wiccan symbol. You didn't notice the other one, the actual star-and-crescent in that comic? ☪ And unlike the labrys or the triple-goddess moon symbol, this symbol doesn't seem to be particularly associated with either feminism or witchcraft.

It's in yesterday's strip, too.

Kid, the Illuminati couldn't take control of a little league baseball team. How a group THAT inept conquered your world is another question, but Lil'E could only be safer from them if someone put him in Mother 3's Absolutely Safe Capsule. These stupid ass muffins are entirely pointless.

And of all things to represent the "threat" of the Illuminati, she picked those useless ass drones!? The only way those things could even be theoretically dangerous would be if they exploded upon activation, if only because the shrapnel could get in your eye or something.

Might as well be throwing jars of water and rusty nails for all the good anyone is doing anyone with these nasty ass muffins.

I must be going mad, I missed that cupcake motif entirely

If you stare too long into the Sinfest, the Sinfest will stare into you ...

RUN!

While I'm at it ... Lilith's ghost supposedly asked for aid in protecting Li'l Evil. This is the protection that Nana provides? Cupcakes?

Indeed. Why would you ever want to make a protection circle from something delicious just left on a table somewhere?

Fat load of good that circle is going to do if a hungry child comes along, especially in pumpkin spice cupcake obsessed Sisterhood country!

Perhaps Grandma is going a bit senile?

Nana is being very symbolic about her baking today.

Optimism is a duty.

In this reality, never underestimate the power of cupcakes. I would not be surprised if this is sufficient to cause problems in Satan's... plan?

Well, it's not an unheard of idea to put curses or the like in pastries. Remember Stephen King's Insomnia? That had a curse in a pie at the end.

Optimism is a duty.

Maybe the magic was in making the cupcakes, not in keeping them.

HA HA HA! GET IT!? BECAUSE TRUMP IS ORANGE! HA HA HA! SURELY NO ONE HAS MADE THAT JOKE!

Seriously Tats, do you have anything substantial to say, or are you such an absolute ignoramus that the only thing you can actually understand about Trump is how he looks?

Edited by Metalix on Oct 3rd 2019 at 8:13:54 AM

Y'know, I honestly forgot that drone existed.

As said before, three years of Trump jokes have become even more old hat than the George W. ones.

Mostly because, even when they were going for the obvious mocking of his intelligence, there was some at least some variety to it. They'd jab at his gaffs, the odd faux pas, and John Stewart's impressions.

Trump though? It's always his looks. His hands, his wig, his bad fake tan. I'm utterly amazed anytime I see someone criticize his policies!

Surely the cracks about W's gaffs and such were just another way of jabbing at his intelligence? As for Trump's policies, not exactly a lot of substance there to criticize. I do enjoy the mockery Mexico's making of his wall, though.

More on-topic, this strip os the first time I've seen anything suggest that Trump is woke.

Sorry for being late to the punch, so to speak, but... so Nana's cupcakes are supposed to protect Moron and Moron Jr. from the Illuminati, right? The Illuminati who are a branch of Satan's monopoly, right? Satan, who happens to be Moron Jr.'s dad AND IS CURRENTLY HAVING HIM AS A GUEST AT HIS VERY OWN MANSION, right?

Either Nana or Tats has gone senile. Two guesses who I think has.

Platypi hold the secret to happiness.
