A thing that I often feel with pizzacake comics is that the message needs to be there regardless of wether or not we think the comics are funny.
We are in fact talking about nazis. Doesn’t matter if they’re from WWII germany or current day USA. Or wherever and from whenever.
There are still people who live as if it’s 6 years ago. Hell, I’m sure some still live in their heads in pre-2016 times. As if all of this fucked up shit isn’t happening under our very noses right now.
And for those, yes it bears repeating over and over again =>Nazis are not to be negotiated with<=.
It needs to be stated because the broad public opinion does swing back and forth on the whims of media.
So yes, punch Nazi’s. Make old timey Superman proud.

It’s propaganda you agree with. That’s not a dig, mind you, it’s propaganda I agree with as well. A lot of intelligent people fail their wisdom checks when they hear something like that because they feel that all propaganda is wrong.
However, it’s just a tool. A necessary one at that. Because if we’re not filling the media sphere with anti-nazi, anti-right-winged propaganda, then Nazi’s fill the space with theirs. It also improves morale, and steels the resolve of those that are also anti-nazi and anti-fascist. And encourages others to stand up and fight with both pen and weapon.
Really, no different than Donald Duck fighting in WW2.
Usually comedy only tangentially touches on what’s important, or it risks turning into lectures.
Lectures can be fine. People pay for them sometimes. When comedy becomes lectures, and keeps its old “comedy” sign out front, people, at minimum, comment on the change with disappointment.
Maybe the important thing is more important than the comedy. It’s still a loss of comedy and an unwillingness to acknowledge the fact.
And generally, the fewer nazis and fascists you have, the more comedy exists.

What about Indy?

Quite a knot.
To put it another way: don’t argue with people John Brown would’ve shot
Agreed. But use Superman. Or use Batman. Use a fork. Use anyone other than yourself, every single time, for every comic, ad infinitum…
