A reanimated monster that can't communicate and a creature that subsists by feeding on the essence of the living. This couldn't be more accurate.

You can read into this as deep as you want. I kinda like the witch who interacted with fetterman is happy, where as the pirate who interacted with Oz is a tad disgruntled.

Good cover though, I like it.

I took it as a crudite reference

It's referencing an Oz aide saying if Fetterman ate more vegetables he wouldn't have had the stroke.

wagsman t1_itzo398 wrote

Well it’s a veggie tray in its entirety so I think it’s still a dig at his crudités gaffe.

wagsman t1_itznyj3 wrote

That’s because she got candy and he got a carrot.

Is "interacted" a protracted way of saying trick or treated?

KentuckYSnow t1_itxmqk4 wrote

But the carrot is good for you, and the candy makes you fat and lazy.

Boring-Rhubarb t1_itxn6pw wrote

Lol I don’t think candy inherently makes you lazy and fat, but if that’s your excuse… how much candy you been eating lately my man 😂

Reading even further. The witch received candy. What she wants, but not what is necessarily good for her. The pirate received a carrot. Not want he wanted, but what he needs...

What does it all mean???

WhyHulud t1_itx0tqa wrote

It means Oz is an uptight vampire that can't even get the most basic social cues right

JAK3CAL t1_itw9mpu wrote

Haha I went the same. The witch got her free candy. It isn’t actually good for her, but she wanted it. The pirate got the carrot… which you can take as “working towards” a carrot, healthy, etc. it is definetly Not what he wanted but in the long run it’ll be the best for him.

Super meta 😆 probably just a cartoon.

Ancient_Boner_Forest t1_itx8t9j wrote

lol why is this downvoted.

Clearly there’s some significance to the candy and carrot. I too am curious.

Now downvote me for asking 🙄

Boring-Rhubarb t1_itxlc5d wrote

Probably a reference to this video, published by mehmet oz himself. It’s kinda highlighting out of touch this guy is with the general public, or really anyone making less than ~$150k/yr. Idk who watches that and thinks “ya know he’s right”

I am as equally surprised as not surprised by the downvotes you're getting for an accurate observation.

Boring-Rhubarb t1_itwlk7c wrote

More of an interpretation, but sure why not

BigHugeTime t1_itwnqtn wrote

Only a tad bit, the part about needing it vs wanting it is interpretation… but the part about vegetables and candy and the kids reception is not.

But it’s also a political cartoon, to brush aside something so blatant as just someone’s interpretation is either disingenuous or mind blowingly ignorant.

Boring-Rhubarb t1_itwp5bf wrote

Idk my man, political cartoons are open to interpretation, as with any form of art. Hopefully you can see past politics

JamesKLOLk t1_itwguau wrote

In the actual book, “the monster” isn’t actually the monster at all, society is the monster for perceiving him that way and he is fairly articulate. But I shouldn’t surprised that an ableist like yourself doesn’t read.

I prefer the Mel Brooks interpretation.

Holy shit, what a horrible thing to say about a stroke survivor. Please check yourself.

Don’t be such a sour puss. It’s obviously what the artist was going for.

zooline t1_itxf0t6 wrote

Yikes, there is no way this artist would take a jab at aphasia. Entirely more likely it's cos Fetterman is a big guy, Frankenstein's monster and is a good balance to a vampire .

lowesburritos t1_itxgijl wrote

It’s either intentional or tone-deaf. You choose.

He’s even drawn with cranial incisions/scarring.

Or you're reading into it. Sounds like there are lots of options!

He has scarring on his wrist and finger too. Is that indicative of his prosthetic hand?

Tattoo removal scars.

Avocado_Amnesia t1_itzurs4 wrote

From all the tattoos he had on his finger, yeah.
Sorry, it was foolish of me to assume you were doing anything but trolling.

lowesburritos t1_iu008iy wrote

Maybe it represents a ring? When worn on the index finger it reflects confidence, self esteem, and leadership qualities.

Duh, of course I’m not serious. It’s a cartoon magazine cover for shits sake. Lighten up, pal.

I can't wait until one day you're disabled in some way (which will happen to all of us) and people on the internet call you a reanimated monster that can't communicate. Bizarre.

Edit: This is a crazy idea, but let’s not be ableist against someone who literally just had a stroke.

Let’s be very honest here, you are giving him a pass because you support him. I sincerely doubt you’d afford Trump the same courtesy.

WhyHulud t1_itx168p wrote

We're giving him a pass because he's actually done things to help people. We tend to like that, and it makes us want to let people have a mulligan now and then.

I dont think there's anything "noble" about not picking on someone who just had a stroke, but go off.
