why is death an angry guy but famine is a skeleton?
And Pestilence, not Famine or Death, has a scythe, while Famine has nothing when canonically he has scales. Also also the colors are wrong (Famine should have the black horse while Death has a "pale" horse). War is the only one who is close to accurate since he does correctly have a sword and the horse is at least close to being the correct color (red).
Not sure about death looking berserk, but I swear I remember some of the historical depictions of famine being either gaunt or skeletal. Because, you know, starving. Doesn't fit with the (slightly more) modern "Death is a skeleton in black robes" thing.
Its still weird, because Death being a skeleton is most common. Also Famine isn't the last horseman (its Death funnily), so having him say "and up next, our new guy" makes even less sense. Feels borderline like the author drew them left to right in order of how they remembered their names. But then just jumbled Death and Famine up?
Not to mention (as others pointed out) the horse colors are wrong. Should be pale > white > red/brown (correct) > black. Also #2 (here) being labeled Pestilence is debated, which I didn't know/forgot. Probably should be Conquest but it isn't clear. Fine for pop culture but just further evidence of laziness.
2/10, a poor attempt at reference to previous work. Points for trying to say something.
(Unrelated to the above: I know 99.9% of political cartoons are lazy, but c'mon. Easily could be improved by having one of them saying "The new guy is doing a great job" while a bright red horse labeled maga prances off.)
