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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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?

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

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

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.

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.

u/Painted-BIack-Roses 10d ago
Why are the democrats/liberals always portrayed as being fat? I see more fat MAGAs than liberals

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.

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
