    NOT ENOUGH LABELS.

    There’s things there that I don’t know what they are or what they mean and it makes me feel dumb.

        Satire sure, but also an actual political cartoon in its own right.

        Really?

        Why isn’t it labeled as such?

          Top right corner has it labeled from The Onion, actually, though it’s a pretty tiny font.

            On mine it’s actually low res enough that onion isn’t ledgable. I only know its Onion because I’ve seen his work before.

              The people down voting you are so proud of having spotted the satire in the OP, and yet…

      I thought this was purposefully making fun of Ben Garrison, but now I’m not sure.

        Totally, this is the cartoon of The Onion. It’s satire.

        I think the Kelly comics predate Garrison. Either way, most of them dig in hard to Poe’s Law. This is on the more obvious side of most of them.

        I’m going to need a label to understand this comment.

          That’s a pretty common joke Kelly’s comics include. It’ll be a totally normal part of modern life, like “social media” or “streaming tv” or something, and it’ll be marked with an asterisk labeling it “(latest fad)”
