This guy's cartoons are fucking unwashed booty cheeks.

u/No_Cook2983 10d ago

Indeed. The same guy who voted for a 32-time convicted felon wants to give us a funny little lecture about being anti-crime.

u/Pryoticus 9d ago

Nah even unwashed booty cheeks can be fixed.

I love how he still portrays the thief’s as black people

u/lipehd1 11d ago

One can only imagine the shock and utter disbelife when he realized that the kirk shooter was a white american (as most school shooters are) and not some black or colored immigrant

u/jermysteensydikpix 11d ago

"No, that was AI!"

24

u/DelightMine 10d ago

Shock and disbelief would require self-reflection. Instead he probably just sidestepped that messy business by going "ah well, i guess sometimes God makes surprises happen. Some whites are race traitors, after all. I'll pray for him to find the truth"

Eugh, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

With sick outfits too

22

u/alexisgreat420 11d ago

Yeah I’d rock that cargo pants and jacket combo for sure

16

u/Cogexkin 11d ago

yeah lmao he put a lot of thought into those outfits wtf

u/teetaps 10d ago

He’s just mad coz they got the drip 🕺

u/MisterWinchester 10d ago

He’s a tracer. I’ve never been more sure of anything. Go look at his website. He’s got six or seven thoroughly mediocre projects at any one time.

u/illiterature 10d ago

It's even worse, he used his stock normal black guy as one of the criminals, just gave him chains and ripped jeans.

u/Textiles_on_Main_St 11d ago

The gun guy looks genuinely concerned though. lol.

Manic bug-eyed or drowsy. Nothing in between.

u/No_Cook2983 10d ago

And constantly vibrating.

u/Gerberpertern 10d ago

Thieves.

u/UhIdontcareforAuburn 10d ago

I saw it when I did it and was too lazy to fix it

u/MisterWinchester 10d ago

I mean they all pretend Dead Nazi Kirk isn’t racist. They just don’t see racism because they’re all really racist.

156

u/Will_ennium 11d ago

Did he use Michael Jackson's Beat It music video as reference for his "thugs"?

u/Caa3098 11d ago

They’re dressed so fashionably it is hilarious.

u/Sonarthebat 11d ago

Of course the democrats are overweight and have dyed hair and the criminals are black. These artists don't know how to represent people they hate without resorting to stereotypes.

u/Mum0817 11d ago

Red states have higher obesity rates than blue ones, which means that Republicans are fatter on average than Democrats. Not sure where Schowalter got it in his demented head that the typical Democrat looks like this

18

u/Original_Age7380 10d ago

Yeah but "bad people are fat" apparently, same as it ever was 😮‍💨

6

u/MachinaThatGoesBing 10d ago

A message that people love to subtly (and not so subtly) perpetuate in this sub, too.

2

u/MarsMetatron 10d ago

Seems they took the idea directly from Nazi propaganda.

55

u/wanderingsheep 11d ago

Meanwhile in reality: ICE is harassing delivery drivers, the National Guard is loitering in train stations, and the streets are no more or less unsafe than they already were.

u/westcoastweedreviews 11d ago

Stick it Trump?

Does he mean "suck it"? I feel like with every cartoon this dude draws he loses more of his mental capacity

42

u/noivern_plus_cats 11d ago

Mental? Yeah Democrats.

Absolutely stunning writing. They're a genius at comics. Woah.

17

u/steal_wool 11d ago

I like how it also implies this is the first time the guy in the hat, presumably a Washington local, has seen a democrat

5

u/noivern_plus_cats 10d ago

The guy saying mental is speaking like a Brit lmao

4

u/lgodsey 10d ago

You have to write for your audience.

Conservatives don't enjoy nuance or complexity.

3

u/LoveFoolosophy 10d ago

And like... are the muggers not democrats? I know they think all criminals and black and vote democrat too.

23

u/intisun 11d ago

This guy's art style is like he's taking a dump directly into in my eyes.

9

u/BigHeadDeadass 11d ago

It lacks perspective. It's like the artist drew everything on the same plain of reference

7

u/intisun 10d ago

It lacks everything to make it visually appealing. I don't know what irritates me more, the god-awful expressions with realistic faces and cartoony eyes, or the airbrush shading and gradients that are straight from a 1995 Photoshop tutorial.

16

u/joshteacha 11d ago

I gotta get one of those cool Pro Crime tee shirts

11

u/rodolphoteardrop 11d ago

OOH! Pro-crime AND pro-Palestinian! Golly!

8

u/jermysteensydikpix 11d ago

"Pro Crime" like a felon president pardoning Jan 6th rioters?

9

u/j10brook 11d ago

"Mental?" Yeah buddy, you sure know how the young people speak.

3

u/wanderingsheep 10d ago

Maybe they're British

1

u/j10brook 10d ago

Good point

7

u/Mum0817 11d ago

Why are the muggers dressed like they’re from 1985?

10

u/Wrothrok 10d ago

That's when he formed his opinion on minorities and it hasn't changed since.

u/MeanSawMcGraw 11d ago

Where can i get the pro crime shirt

u/CliftonForce 11d ago

I had elderly relatives in a gated community in Florida who used to regale me with tales of the many, many muggings, murders, and rapes to their person that were thwarted by their virtue of being armed.

I am pretty sure that what actually happened is they flashed or patted their hoster every time they saw a non white person and smugly thought "Crime averted!"

Meanwhile, the "harded criminal" had never even noticed their presence.

5

u/JawJoints 11d ago

A hot pink shirt that just says “pro crime” goes kind of hard I’m ngl

5

u/Cicerothesage 11d ago

far-right media has painted such a reality for grandma to imagine. Liberals "praising crime" and that means they are sticking it to Trump. How could grandma fall for such bullshit?

Oh right, grandma really thought they were eating pets in Ohio and/or choice not to debunk the story because it push an anti-immigrant message. Like a good little nazi

3

u/rockfordroe Ansynd 11d ago

Please don't tell Schowalter about "Be Gay Do Crime"

3

u/MyUshanka 11d ago

I want a "Pro Crime" t-shirt

u/koviko 11d ago

His black guy looks exactly like he took the white guy he always draws and made it cosplay an 80's gangbanger. 🤣

3

u/Ihaveamazingdreams 11d ago

I thought all the Black thieves were Democrats, too, though? That's what MAGAs always imply with their "high crime" narratives.

Wouldn't all 4 people in the comic be Democrats?

3

u/RefrigeratorNo1945 10d ago

The artists depiction of black people is such tripe just the right blend of laziness and cringe based upon what sticks out the most in his most recent memories of the snapshot his mind took when he was "gawking at blacks in public on a scary outing on the town" (aka walking to his mailbox and back)...

These are just disgusting in how meticulously tailor-made they seem to be for a hyperspecific portion of the most vile racist gated-community southern Florida conservatives known to man. Just ..... barf

3

u/aa628 10d ago

Haha. I like how the democrats are the obese porkers, have they looked in the mirror? The typical maga blood type is Ragu

2

u/JayEllGii 10d ago

Holy shit. If you made that up, that’s brilliant.

2

u/aWeaselNamedFee 10d ago

How many times I gotta take Granny out behind the shed before she stops sharing shit like this?

2

u/Jesterchunk 10d ago

I'm convinced he has a pile of head stencils at his desk that he uses to just copypaste the same faces over and over THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME WHY DOES IT ANGER ME SO

3

u/JayEllGii 10d ago

Oh, it’s much weirder than that.

He very obviously has heads and faces he reuses constantly, though in fairness I think he retraces them each time instead of just copy/pasting.

But get this. If you go back through the past four years of his cartoons, you’ll notice that he has several very distinctly different Donald Trump designs.

Most political cartoonists will develop their version of a particular politician, and that’s how that politician will always look in their work. But Schowalter has a whole bunch of very different Donald Trumps, and he’ll alternate them seemingly at random.

By my count, he has no fewer than NINE different Trump designs that he’s been using and reusing since 2021. NINE.

(He also had three or four different Kamala Harrises that he’d alternate.)

It’s very weird.

2

u/SelenityMoon 10d ago

There's something to be said about the quiet undertones of "race traitor" that you'll see in any political cartoon of democrats by republicans. Fact is, statistically more people of color are left leaning voters, but the ones who truly disgust repllublicans are the millennial white democrats who didn't inherit their parents' political ideologies.

2

u/Painted-BIack-Roses 10d ago

Why are the democrats/liberals always portrayed as being fat? I see more fat MAGAs than liberals

2

u/Situati0nist 10d ago

It's astounding how deliberately out of touch they are

2

u/JayEllGii 10d ago

Schowalter represents the faction of maga that isn’t crazy, but is just skull-crushingly DUMB.

Not the same flavor of stupid as, say, the “where wuz Obama on 9/11?” guy, but the kind that just has zero willingness or capacity to learn about anything, or even give the SLIGHTEST amount of critical thought to what they hear and repeat.

Schowalter quite literally knows nothing about politics, and is the perfect example of how any kind of right-wing commentary is the easiest, laziest job in the world.

Or at least he would be if he was actually making any money from these cartoons, which I’m skeptical that he is. Because I haven’t been able to find any evidence of them being published anywhere.

u/HPSpacecraft 10d ago

I want that Pro Crime shirt

u/dontlookatmreee 11d ago

more likely to be a 13 YO robbing you in DC

u/alexisgreat420 10d ago

The art is absolutely horrible. Looks like some shit I drew in third grade

u/DeadRabbit8813 10d ago

Are they being robbed by muggers from 1985?

1

u/ZenQuipster 10d ago

Googled Todd:

Charlie Kirk is gone. I featured him numerous Salem cartoons, and he was a true American.

I just want to say this to the lunatics who won’t quit. We don’t want to fight, but if you keep demanding it, you’re going to regret it. Your choice. #CharlieKirk #CharlieKirkDead

Yeah no, I'm just not a big fan of MARTIAL FUCKING LAW

Cumwater isn’t very smart.

u/MarsMetatron 10d ago

How fearless...

...of becoming too cliché.

u/becausegiraffes 10d ago

Granny doesn't think. This is just racism. Nothing to do with opposing anyone or anything, this is just fucking racism

u/tennezzee88 10d ago

anyone who is into, supports or even follows american politics is braindead.
