What the fuck is that
Someone get the T-rex
Could easily have mocked her childishness without stepping low enough for racist caricatures.
Everything he does is similar. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/237427/ed0ef6ef-9fe3-4ec5-8214-8a56ad44e62d/image.png Much adoo over nothing. Racism will never end while we still tug on our anger dicks every time something like this pops up and it's shoved in peoples faces over the news.
If his art style really looks like that all the time, it doesn't seem so bad. Context is everythig, after all.
Why is Osaka replaced with some blonde white chick tho. I don't know if it's a racist depiction or not, but I don't think Mark had those intentions.
Serena and the World Cup organization's actions were pretty despicable during this whole thing.
I mean the big lips are a bit suspicious given the stereotype. Though it could be more of an after-the-moment situation. And also the fact Political cartoonists tend to draw everyone as a caricature or being extremely stylized/exaggerated in appearance. I'm unfamiliar with the guy's work, but from searching it, he just seems to be a regular political cartoonist.
Welp, they ended up deleting his Twitter account over a cartoon. It was just a typical caricature cartoon. Amazing how people blow things out of proportion and context.
When it comes to political cartoons, this one is extremely tame. Do people not remember Bush getting drawn as a Chimp/Monkey every week and how that died out when Obama got elected (because oooooooooo shit that wouldve been a storm). This is making a mountain out of a molehill. Caricatures are a staple of dinosaur cartoons.
You're naive if you think this was like drawing Bush as a monkey
her opponent wasnt even white lmfao
Some of his other "totally not racist at all just his style" work https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/784/cb532aae-a415-4973-94b4-ba3a14a97a09/image.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/784/b3a296b4-791e-4ff2-8ebf-fee5db8742a8/image.png
