I am 14 and this is deep.
I’ve literally called both of these dummy wrap to my coworkers.
Original by John Jonik without the shitty edits:
Thank you for the og
Really, putting in the EU flags to make relevant to the current situation is a “shitty edit”?
You seem like a shitty person.
First part was good.
The personal attack seems unnecessary.
There is a lot of egoistic people on lemmy.
I was mostly referring to the quality being shitty and less-so the content of the edits themselves.
- To start with, it looks like they used a row-resolution base and then possibly tried to AI upscale it (look at animal faces on the “protect kids” wrap and the artist signature/items on the table)
- The pointless circular blur near the collar of the box holder
- The weird clone/stamp action going on with the side of the box - just use a solid box if the goal is efficiency vs quality!
But also leaving the artist’s signature on an edited comic and not mentioning it’s modified feels shitty too. This isn’t a meme or political community so I’d think posting the original is more appropriate anyway.

Removing their signature would be way shittier 😅 And it’s pretty clear that it’s edited anyway.
It was probably done in a hurry to relate to the present situation. I don’t expect this being a masterpiece as it does convey its point.
It’s also edited in popular shitpost meme format
Edit only removed white border/Sam hat. Come on man.
Sourcing has value but denigration is a demerit.
?
I wonder how old the comic is.
According to Reddit posts where I first saw this linked it’s from 2000. Here’s the artist’s page, didn’t see a date attached to it there unfortunately.
I like both, but the original should probably be the main post. Then have the current/relevant edit(s) in the comments
Why not make the relevant one the main post?
The original feels more appropriate for the comics community, while the edit is more of a meme created from the original comic
Yea you’re right, I forgot I was browsing all posts instead of subscribed communities so I thought I was in a meme subreddit
That’s surveillance, not propaganda.
Selling the surveillance package to voters requires propaganda.
This is an edited version posted. But comic OP has some badass anti capitalist comics: http://jonikcartoons.blogspot.com/2011/09/general-cartoons.html
