          There was no attempt at humor or even cleverness, it was just “They are stupid and corrupt and we are right” in the comics page. It was editorials pretending to be a comic strip.

            Thanks for elaboration, also I feel like that may actually be worse than Chick tracts since I’m pretty sure even Jack Chick attempted to mix in some intentional humor in some of them. Sure it usually didn’t hit quite right since it’s within some of the most surreal batshit content from the era but still.

      They were about how much more capable the working class was than the ruling class.

      It was always political.
