I thought comics were supposed to be funny or poignant.
I mean maybe, but there's a long history of political comics going back centuries and I think it's a good fit for the Progressive Politics community.
You can probably add a couple 1,000 of years to how far political comics go back. Graffiti on town wall was a way to pass knowledge and express political opinions during ancient Rome. I'm assuming even before then, but we just have knowledge of it being done then.
Now THAT'S perspective!
