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.

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

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

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

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

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???

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

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.

lol why is this downvoted.

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

Now downvote me for asking 🙄

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.

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.

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