lmao, the chicken next to general tso and Mao got me.

there's an onion video floating around as a "Behind the Pen" with Kelly about his "process" with visual examples of his drafts and editorial changes.

basically a gag is that he is a billion times more cartoonishly racist and stupid than you would think, and he goes back and forth with the editor who makes him tone it down in order to get published. it's outrageously oniony.

Kelly Comics are the best part of The Onion at this point

His lib persona is actually crazy good deep cover satire, so much so that he himself doesn't even know he is doing satire.
