    Nothing against you, OP. I just don’t enjoy these comics. They’re telling me things I already knew and they’re not particularly funny while doing it.

    If being relatable was the only thing you need to tell a joke, then “how about that airplane food?” wouldn’t have become the stand-in joke for a “bad comedian”.

      It is worth mentioning that the artist still draws silly comics that are not about politics; they just aren’t the ones that get posted here very often.

      Yeah they are pretty terrible. The problem is the op is a great poster and blocking them would block good content and this community has other stuff I like. I wonder if I can block by a multiword keyword…

        Iirc PieFed has a much more robust filtering mechanism than Lemmy, so it might do this if that’s what you desire

        I don’t believe that, comics are comics and can cross an entire range of emotional triggers just like movies or a TV show. Many opt for comedy yes, some make you sad, some are “preachy” etc

      I mean everyone has different tastes, it’s impossible for someone only to post things everyone likes

        Yeah, I know. It’s just this one broke the camel’s back, so to speak, and I felt compelled to comment.
