I can see it. He seems the most likely to be the problematic one at Mario bros Christmas meals.The colors here just make me think Luigi is depressed that he can't catcall women anymore.
In case anyone forgets the sheer hypocrisy of the boomers:Boomers love extolling the virtues of wars they never fought in.
Every generation has had their stupid "challenges". I remember the "choking game", for one, people have been jumping off bridges for dares forever, and then there were teens with cars in the '50s and '60s playing deadly games of chicken.
I wonder how Generation Xers feel about their generation basically not even existing in people's mind now.
It's because they haven't but like to pretend they have and steal glory from the generation before them that actually made the world a better place unlike these selfish bums.Why do I always have the sneaking suspicion that cartoonists and writers that complain that the current generation doesn't enlist and that makes them weaker haven't actually served in any wars themselves?
That demon is pretty good, he should do concept art.
As if more proof was needed that (with some exceptions) newspaper comics are generally the lowest form of humor.
Especially political ones.
I always want to point this out, but I'm always worried that if I go, "I don't eat Tide pods, it's those damn Gen Z kids!" then I'm doing the same thing Boomers are.
I suspect you don't know very much about newspaper comics.If you take Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, and maybe a dozen others out of the equation, would newspaper comics have any validity as an art medium?
I'd say no.
That marriage one turned out to be real though, except with Sonic the Hedgehog and DS anime dating sims.Some vintage boomer-complaining about videogames from the early 1980s, around the Pac-Man craze:
This is back when parents were super scared about the evil Pac-Man machines that were turning their daughters into degenerates that hung out at arcades with shady boys.
The backwards controller gives him hax.
I don't have any obvious examples but my favorites are the ones drawn by the actual "kids" to criticize their own generation. The ones that criticize how "soft" and dumb his peers are in comparison to previous generations.
This one is particularly obnoxious. The Greatest Generation was drafted into mandatory service. Voluntary enlistment was even banned in the second half of World War II.
I don't think any of the boomer veterans I worked with ever saw combat. At least the couple that actually talk about being veterans. One joined the national gaurd during Vietnam, and another was only there prior to war breaking out. They both have some great stories, but they're all about funny ways they goofed off.Why do I always have the sneaking suspicion that cartoonists and writers that complain that the current generation doesn't enlist and that makes them weaker haven't actually served in any wars themselves?
To be fair I bet that balloon has a pitiful amount of RAM, and it doesn't even look upgradeable
I suspect you don't know very much about newspaper comics.
You should find this book:
No it wouldn't. Boomers were born right after WW2. This would be boomers complaining about Gen X.
If you take Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, and maybe a dozen others out of the equation, would newspaper comics have any validity as an art medium?
I'd say no.
Even though the comic itself is shit, the message is absolutely true. These things have been designed to keep you addicted and dependent on them. That's why the execs of these big tech companies don't allow their kids to use it until they are much older and many times are stringent about limiting their own use, as well.
The first one had me dyingYeah, this. It's why it became a minor meme and people edited the shit out of it.
A couple more:
If we go by the "90% of all stuff is crap"rule, this line of thinking would invalidate any other "art medium" as well if you took out all the good bits and left in the fluff.If you take Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, and maybe a dozen others out of the equation, would newspaper comics have any validity as an art medium?
I'd say no.
Right? And who do they think ended the draft?This one is particularly obnoxious. The Greatest Generation was drafted into mandatory service. Voluntary enlistment was even banned in the second half of World War II.
Meanwhile, the modern US military is 100% volunteer-based.
Yes, because they were the most prosperous middle class in history which gave them the economic ability to sustain that now distinct phase between "childhood" and "adulthood".Unless I'm mistaken, isn't the boomer generation typically seen as the one which really culturally solidified the notion of a distinct teenage/youth culture which they now love to claim represents the absolute degradation of society?
I thought so, just wanted to make sure I had a solid grasp on their completely lack of self-awareness.Yes, because they were the most prosperous middle class in history which gave them the economic ability to sustain that now distinct phase between "childhood" and "adulthood".
That's a bit much, don't you think?Even though the comic itself is shit, the message is absolutely true. These things have been designed to keep you addicted and dependent on them. That's why the execs of these big tech companies don't allow their kids to use it until they are much older and many times are stringent about limiting their own use, as well.
I'd like to live in the mythical world where the library is accessible 24/7, and comes to me rather than me to it
