I really don't get the people who think this is a Fascist cartoon, of that it's a cutsey version of Stonetoss.

This isn't even the first comic they've had expressing hope for world peace, ending hunger, or stopping climate change... Yep people think it's fascist.

But yeah the messages of comics overall are mixed. Some have a really nice message and some... Not at all the way they come across. I think OP probably needs a break.

whoa that one is like 4000% worse than the others. Jesus. they're not all bad though, just wildly inconsistent. it's giving radical centrism.

It's a joke that a democracy of the whole universe would be painfully slow/inefficient... I think that's the entire joke (hence the protagonist saying"you inefficient mad man).

...maybe you need to take a break from comics of you're misreading them so easily.

Honestly, if it were published 10 years ago, I'd agree with you. But since it was published literally 2 days ago, it's at best tone deaf and a bit ignorant or at worst... well, you heard what others have said.

Not everyone lives in America though.

Thanks for clarifying. Didn't come across like that to me and many others but due to the artist having mostly wholesome comics I believe you.

That's not fascist; that's just car-brained.
