Not one of these comics is funny I genuinely do not understand how this guy regularly gets to the front page from drawing the dumbest faces possible and making the elf a massive racist. Maybe the first or second time I saw it I gave an upvoter and laughed but it's been years and it just isn't funny or shocking at all. Dog shit drawing and memeable moments are pretty much it.

Imagine an artist improving? Or making something creative? Nah just give massive attention and support to see the same God damn joke 4000 times. Literally 6-7 type of a joke. And he makes money off of merch with this low-tier of effort. Guys, it isn't funny at this point, I don't really think it ever was honestly.

Same with pizza cake, literally pointless shit that every sensible person agrees with but the artist has to self insert herself into owning a trump supporter or seeming smarter than others for disagreeing with a racist stupid argument that... Everyone already agrees with? Not exactly creative and doesn't require any explanation because it is obviously a reasonable take. But got a draw the same thing happening 300000 times to get some up votes and attention I guess.

Be liberal, support human rights, I agree! How about as artists we actually improve! Or move on from our one singular joke?

I wouldn't even appreciate seeing the same set of Mitch Hedbergs jokes 300,000 times if it were THE SAME JOKE REPEATED OVER AND OVER. And that man is a god damn legend, not a lazy unimaginative internet comic maker.

You ever consider that maybe you just have a crap sense of humor and are grumpy for no god damn reason?

Like c'mon man. your account is 12 years old and you're bitching about 67. You are entirely too old to even give half a shit about the nonsense 12 year olds find funny.

Other people laugh at it. Probably the visual gags at the elf's exaggerated faces, usually done in the style of popular memes. It's pandering to the audience, but it gets upvotes because they find it funny. Not a crazy concept for most to wrap their heads around. But not finding it funny is also fine. Plenty of people probably don't like their style, but usually just... scroll past.

It's takes significant layers of crust and misery to go on a 5 paragraph rant and compulsively respond to every comment about it to complain more. Like why be so dedicated to hating something...

Oh fuck wait. It just hit me. You're the elf. Sweet merciful fuck that's hilarious. lmao.

When someone wipes dogshit on your car window on a nearly daily basis you would be bothered too. This isn't front page worthy and is not funny regardless of how you imagine my life may be.

I understand people laugh because face. It isn't funny. There isn't a joke. And it is incredibly repetitive. If someone earns income off of being funny can I not expect they make more than ONE JOKE in their entire lifetime of work?

yeah but thats it. you could just block the artist and never see it. But you don't. You just wanna make a huge performative act about how much better your taste is than the artist while obsessively focusing all your attention on them.

You're the elf.

Wow. Just like the creator of the comic, you have one total insult in your inventory! And any other insult is too much effort for you to make! Proving my point.

I'm not even trying to insult you. I'm underlining the absolutely hilarious irony that is flying directly over your short elf head.

"you should just wipe the dogshit off your window every day forever if you don't like dogshit on your window"

You are the author of your own misery and you can't stop writing.
