TranscriptTwo Panel Comic

1: [Blue background. A slightly overweight white man wears a camo bullet proof vest over a black t-shirt. He has a black baseball cap on his head and wears a red bandana over his nose and mouth. He wears a menacing expression on his face.]

Guy: I’m a Proud Boy and I will never stop fighting for true manliness!

2: [Pink background. The Proud Boy now twiddles his fingers, with an abashed expression on his face. His eyes are drawn in an anime style with an anime blush across his nose and cheeks.]

Guy: But I also gotta hide my face because I’m a widdle soft-as-baby-shit chicken.

PizzaCake is political Garfield

It's not clever, it's not funny, it's not edgy, it's not smart... it's the predictable safe, tired, thing and for some reason people eat it up

"HAHA, Mondays do suck!"

"Right, why cover your face if you're so proud?"

Genius level creativity here, definitely not the same tired joke everyone makes all of the time and have been making for years

You heard it here, Folks.

No more making fun of conservatives hiding behind masks. Velvets tired of the comments.

[-] VelvetPinkOtter123@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Make fun of them all you want, but maybe don't go with the most obvious jokes of all time

This is the political version of, "it didn't ring up? It must be free"

[-] Signtist@bookwyr.me 22 points 2 days ago

Do people not like Garfield? I love Garfield.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

One of the first things I could draw well consistently was the dog. It was/is a great strip to imitate to learn to draw.

Garfield is notorious for being lame to the point where there are no real jokes... Garfield comics are just Garfield saying the same thing everybody says

For instance, I googled "Garfield Comic" and the first one that showed up was Garfield walking up to a mirror, Looking in the mirror, walking away from the mirror, and the last panel had Garfield think, "when did the cat in that mirror get so old?"

There's nothing to that comic, It could have been one panel if you really wanted it to be and that "joke" is the same thing my Grandma said when we walked past a store with a reflective window

And that's all this PizzaCake comic is

Literally everybody was like, "if they're so proud why do they cover their face?" -- it's the political equivalant of, "If it didn't ring up it must be free"

This shit sucks

You realize humor isn't always the point, right? Relatability is one of the biggest reasons people read comics like Garfield. It's not funny that he hates Mondays, it's relatable. It's human to seek that kind of connection. People often enjoy reading Garfield comics because we enjoy finding validation of our desire to be lazy. That being said, they can also be hilarious; I remember rereading this one all the time as a kid, and just dying of laughter.

I'm not super familiar with this comic's artist, but I can see why you compared them to Garfield - this comic clearly isn't trying to be funny so much as it's trying to connect with the reader about our shared frustrations with the state of the world. It reminds us that, while the world is stacked against us, we still have like-minded people to turn to for support. It's nice to see that.

In other words, the average person is dumb and so they're entertained by dumb things

"You like money and sex? Me too! We should hang out"

[-] Signtist@bookwyr.me 2 points 10 hours ago

In other words, people often enjoy simple pleasures, and simplicity is not to be confused with stupidity.

[-] Sir_Premiumhengst@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Sure. Yes. And also I do hate Mondays. I do hate shit heads who uproot our society.

Yeah, the joke is 'tame' but it's good that this is what the norm is. Someone needs to state the norm. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ did I chuxlle reading it? No. Am I glad this content is normal. Yes.

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Why comment? Just ignore the post. Others seem to like it. Why hate on it?

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago

This has to be the most accurate description of PizzaCake.

I'm convinced most guys like her because of her spicy content. Which, I mean, go PizzaCake.

I hate people defending her like she's some sort of edge lord.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

She has an onlyfans or something? (no not requesting the link/name/whatever)

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago

She has a spicy tier on her Patreon where she releases nudes and stuff.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Well, that certainly explains a few things. Seems kinda.. weird, to be mixing both things on the same platform. Usually people keep those separate.

[-] Gork@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Efficient, though. Fewer platforms to divide one's attention means less mental labor.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

true, but i dont know.. feels like if your mixing your comics and your nudes on the same platform, that maybe you arent confident in your abilities and need tits to draw more attention to your art. Not a judgement, just an observation.

thats more creative than anything PizzaCake has ever written

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

You show up every single time someone is remotely critical of Pizzacake and defend her.

Why? What's in it for you?

[-] orlyowl@piefed.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Not who you replied to, but reading all the haters' comments has become part of the pizzacake experience for me. Personally, I'm not sure why so many people spend so much of their own time and energy making the same criticisms over and over, but I know I will see the comments every time one of her comics is posted.

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

For me personally, it just annoys me that such a profoundly bland and mediocre artist gets such a ridiculous amount of support.

And over some very bland, middle of the road takes no less.

[-] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Hey at least we don't get banned here for calling out hackery.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss
  3. GPrime85

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
