Political Cartoon
By Alex Hoffman
When Falls The Coliseum - 1/20/12

It’s a bit too easy to pick on alex, but I woon’t let that stop me.

I mean come on. Lady tied to the train tracks, how cliché can you go? And why is there a mountie in the comic? And why are the speech bubbles arranged so that it’s not clear what order they’re supposed to be read?

Maybe this is a manga!

…do.  Do people not get this?  Is the reference actually that obscure?

Because, holy shit, no it’s — it’s a reference.  It’s not just random.  Snidely Whiplash?  Dudley Do-Right?  Ringing any bells?  No?  Remember that really terrible-looking CGI horrorshow a few years back Rocky and Bullwinkle?  It was based on a cartoon that was actually funny.  This, this is a reference to a series of shorts that aired within it.

…if I’m explaining a joke you got, I AM REALLY SORRY.  I legit can’t tell if people aren’t getting it.

I grew up in a house without a television. I recognize this reference.
