Mike Pence politely applauds, but just can't seem to get over the spiciness of the Saltine he just ate. Later that evening, an RNC intern was beaten for getting the salted ones.

Mike Pence wrote a very stern letter to Tums, when they started making flavors other than chalk.

Mike Pence's eldest son once remarked that the mashed potatoes could use butter, and was locked in his room for a month as punishment.

Mike Pence looks like someone taught a stick of deodorant to wince.

Mike Pence's favorite cologne is called Mormon Ennui.

Is this canon because I do not know poo poo about comics

TheCIASentMe posted:

Sorta. The Red Skull (nazi from the Marvel universe) and the Joker teamed up in a crossover comic until the Joker found out that the Red Skull was a nazi at which point he said something like "I might be a homicidal maniac, but I'm an AMERICAN homicidal maniac!" And then attacked the Red Skull.

Since it's a crossover, it's not officially DC cannon.

However as far as marvel is concerned, they literally have the "Crossover" universe so it IS cannon for them.

No, he's right, everything other year DC fires all of it's originally scripts into the sun out of an enormous cannon in the Nevada dessert in the land known as "Area 51", in order to save on costs for storage space.

It is, but with the Joker thing you can at least rationalize it as the Joker doing a "bit" because the Joker can do literally whatever you want and it's still in-character as long as you apply enough irony.



The Doctor Doom thing was just.... just unfortunate. I don't know how y'all feel about at Shmorky comic, but he did nail it:

They're also stand-ins for stunted manchildren eager to indulge their persecution complexes. Over the years there have been many, many stories that paint each as these misunderstood tragic antihero types and fans love to gloss over the many, many irredeemable actions they've done. Oh Doctor Doom once sacrificed his first love and wore her skin as a suit of magic armor? But he loves his Mommy and would go to hell to get her back! etc.

Magneto gets off way easier though because of the Holocaust. Speaking of:

Literally 2 months after this issue a gigantic fleet of Insect-Sentinels descended on Genosha (all-mutant country) and killed 3 million mutants in one day, including Magento (he got better, then tried to genocide New York again while high on super-whippets).

I remember during 9/11 I was working at Radioshack and our District Manager called and told us not to show it on the TVs and to keep the display DVDs running because "we shouldn't be adding to the sensationalism." Even Dr. Doom had a better reaction than that!

Not Nazi but now that I look at these panels again, Red Skull is being portrayed with even less sense and consistency than the Joker. "Oh yeah, you'd have made a great Nazi, what with the robbing, the laughter, and the whimsical clown-themed indiscriminate murder and all. Trust me: Red Skull, real Nazi, and expert on real Nazis."

Joker's attitude does make sense from aside that Nazis take a very dim view of the mentally ill, they have absolutely no sense of humour and no self-awareness. Also, it's funny.

The Red Skull actually has a hard time given the other major villains in Marvel include Magneto, a Jew and mutant holocaust survivor, Dr Doom, a Roma, and Kingpin, all-American crime lord.

I don't see the problem, that poo poo was sensationalized to hell and back. On the morning of 9/11 I was teaching a chemistry lab until noon. Two colleagues walked in after the second plane hit and told me about it. I relayed the information to my students and they had the healthiest reaction to it I have seen. They listened, nodded, and got back to work. These were mainly first and second year college students, showing more poise than the whole of the media.

If you were literally in New York when it happened, sure, freak out about it, it's a big event. But if you're in Bumfuck, Kentucky or Goatballs, Arkansas then there is no reason not to get on with your day after the shock wears off. Every day something horrible happens around the world, sometimes stuff worse than 9/11, but for some reason most Americans don't give a crap about any of it.

An atrocity is an atrocity, but the fact we as a country went insane over it is one of the big reasons why we have an anthropomorphic bag of Cheetoh vomit with a combover in charge of our nuclear arsenal. Bin Laden is cackling his rear end off at the bottom of the ocean.
