    There’s something in particular about their half assed art style and ham-fisted attempts at comedy that I find particularly annoying.

    And then people lap it up, not because there’s any humour in their content, but because it aligns with their views.

      Pizzacake is capable of communicating complex ideas using maybe four panels, minimal dialogue, and does not rely on cheap gimmicks.

      They are one of the most talented cartoonists on the contemporary scene.

      I understand their style isn’t your taste, but Pizzacake has earned every bit of praise & respect they get, not just because people are sheeple who like anything they agree with.

        Do you genuinely think this is a complex idea being communicated?

        And I’ve seen the same point made with just one panel, it’s not a new joke.

          Is this the best comic PC has ever produced? No, I don’t think so.

          But I’m trying to help you understand why they are so respected.

            Oh, I get it, I said so in my first comment. People post them because her comics share their views, not because there is any humour in them.

            Failing to understand that doing so here is like standing up in church and telling someone you’re a big fan of Jesus.

              I get it, but PC deserves the respect.

              There are LOTS of cartoonists out there I will happily tear into for being lazy &/or lame (I’m going to refrain), but not Pizzacake, they’re legit.
