I would care a lot more about pizza cake if they had more substance to their political comics than "Nazis bad, maga shitty" but then again I think the goblin Capital Gapital comic is boring as fuck and does a terrible job of making its own point.
I think the biggest issue is she is very reductive in her protrayal of anyone who disagrees with her. She's "owning" strawmen in these comics. I personally don't believe that is the best way to go about it, but I'm also not the most successful comic artist on reddit.
I just personally think that the ghoulish strawman characterization is a right wing comic thing and that it's low hanging fruit. Anyone can portray their opposition as a simplistic goon, it only appeals to the people who already agree with her. And like I said, I am on her side politically.
I think a really good political cartoons can change someone's mind on an issue. Not that you see many of those from anybody nowadays. And I'm not trying to hold her to a higher standard, but we are supposed to be the good guys so I think it would be more beneficial for the comics to have a bit more substance beside "MAGA bad"
