I don't usually dabble with political stuff, and if I do, it's usually something that's a little subtle or subliminal. Rarely will I ever be on the nose about it ( I guess). But, I knew for the second strip, I decided to make one based on the ironies of society. TOOL songs such as " Eulogy", "Vicarious" and "Anemia" , Childish Gambino "Worldstar", Radiohead "2+2=5", "wolf at the door", Kendrick Lamar, EMinem and a few other things like Comedians of a variety always fascinate me in terms of how they deliver touchy subject matter, and reveal the sad truths about humanity. Comedians and artists tend to always tackle subject matter and address it better than the News outlets and politicians. Somehow they always present the bigger picture. Heck, They always admit things about society better than society ever does, and at the end of the day, when speaking about solutions, the same irony happens. Society rejects what they want most of the time.
I know, I know, what i said sounds so pessimistic.. So I made a strip representing those themes in a sense, and the irony of everyone of these themes and ideologies, that aren't meant to be taken to such extremes, yet unfortunately, by a marginal group of individuals, tend to take things to the extremes and make it the landmark poster child of mis represented, and tarnished images of once pure ideologies. Everyone is fighting for something, but don't realize that there are bigger things at work, laughing at what people are fighting each other for ,rather than fighting together in unison against the big corporations like Goldman and Sachs, The Rockerfellers, Skulls and Bones, etc etc, that NO Logo ,and Food Inc/ Fast Food Nation has talked about among other sources. I couldn't find the original file, so I had to make due. Here it is folks, I hope for those that have a reasonable sense of humor , enjoy. The rest, well.. uh.. do you.
