\"\"<\/a>After I posted this cartoon on Twitter, some folks assumed that the Youtuber was a caricature of a vlogger called “The Amazing Atheist.” That wasn’t my intent – I was just trying to draw a cliche of what right-wing vloggers look like – but after reading their tweets, I googled for photos of “The Amazing Atheist,” and damn<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Transcript of cartoon<\/strong><\/p>\n

This cartoon has four main panels, and also a tiny “kicker” panel under the bottom of the cartoon.<\/p>\n

PANEL 1
\nThis panel shows two men, in what looks like a kitchen. One is a bald man with glasses and a argyle sweater vest, the other is a man wearing a sleeveless shirt who has a full-sleeve tattoo on his left arm. Tattoo is sitting at a table, with a plate of food and a coffee mug in front of him, watching something on his smartphone. Argyle has his hand on Tattoo’s shoulder, and is leaning over to watch Tattoo’s smartphone.<\/p>\n

ARGYLE: Whatcha watching?
\nTATTOO: Some Youtube guy.
\nYOUTUBER (speaking on smartphone)L You know what Democrats really want? Socialism!<\/p>\n

PANEL 2
\nA close up of Tattoo’s smartphone. On the phone screen, a video is playing, showing a man yelling at the camera, a forefinger held up in the air.<\/p>\n

YOUTUBER: Can you imagine how hard it is to be a cop now?> If you so much as rough up a suspect – BOOM! You’re fired!<\/p>\n

PANEL 3
\nLike panel 2, a close-up on the smartphone. The youtuber looks aggravated and his holding both hands up in a “explaining my point” sort of gesture.<\/p>\n

YOUTUBER: You can’t make jokes about anyone anymore! Jews, Blacks, gays, trans, fatties – all off limits!
\nYOUTUBER: Racism was a problem like a century ago – but that’s all over now!<\/p>\n

PANEL 4
\nArgyle has turned to Tattoo is and is clasping his hands together in front of him, in a begging gesture. Tattoo is amused.<\/p>\n

ARGYLE: Can we please move to the American the right thinks we live in?
\nTATTOO: It does sound wonderful!<\/p>\n

SMALL KICKER PANEL BELOW THE BOTTOM OF THE STRIP
\nArgyle talks to Tattoo; they both look amused.
\nARGYLE: Getting in should be easy – I hear they don’t guard the border at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
