I think about this comic all the time, even though it’s seven years old. (No reason.)

Ah yes, Brexit.
There’s an old saying: never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.
Laser sharp.
Is this an anti-democracy comic?
No, it’s about politicians who knowingly court dangerous and extreme voters.
And now that’s all they have left, and that’s how we ended up with Donald Trump and these fucked up weird Republicans.
Some of them leaned into birtherism to keep their seats back in '07 and '08. Now half the people at their rallies are carrying around swastikas and Confederate flags and clamoring for a race war.
Not quite. Let us not conflate “criticism against one issue in a system” with “being against said system”.
Can one not form criticism of something without being opposed to it?
I don’t find it particularly funny but the art style is cool.
Wondermark is rarely laugh-out-loud funny, but funny is only one thing comics can be. I like it because it’s smart, zany, and artistically interesting (every comic is made from Victorian woodcuts).
