Is it just me getting unreasonably irritated when the artist captions the things they're depicting, as if we're either too dumb to understand or they suck at making subtle references?
It's a political comics thing that I believe originally started in England like ~~250~~ at least 350 years ago. The comic is meant simultaneously to be funny and legitimate political propaganda. To ensure that the political propaganda message is not lost on the masses they label everything to make sure their message most clearly gets across.
For example, see this political cartoon from 1903. Panama_canal_cartoon_1903.jpg
That's actually cool to know, though I dislike the practice, they kinda look like previous century memes lol
For example, see this political cartoon from 1903.
That was lost on me either way, but I guess it's just my lack of knowledge on US's history 👀
The cartoon shows the US aligning with Panama separatist factions to break from Colombia so that they can permit the construction of the channel.
Panama was a separate colony from Colombia, but they joined when becoming independent.
I find it utterly hilarious that the cited purpose is clarity, but the referenced comic required explanation. Bravo.
Also thanks for the explanation because I wasn't getting it, either. Makes sense, though. Give it a few hundred years and English might be so different the labels wouldn't have mattered at all, let alone missing context.
Thanks for the explanation!
These sorts of comics have been captioned like this for decades. I'm not sure if they were ever not captioned.
If anything I think they were even more obvious back then... The Troll would have had "Troll" written on their laptop and so on...
I've seen some done in the 1800s. Captioned.
At this point it's a staple of the genre.
This reminds me of a Ben Garrison cartoon. Way too heavy handed.
It's just you
