I wonder if anyone notices.
Hang on. This ain’t a real Kelly, there’s no crying Statue of Liberty.
Weird Al explicitly gets permission before doing a parody. Usually artists ask/beg him to do them. This comic is BS.
Kelly comics are intentional satire of the political comic style and topics.
Wait. So they’re not some right wing pundit?
It’s more like the Colbert Report back in the day, an exaggerated right winger who is so obviously wrong it’s funny.
The character “Kelly” isn’t explicitly right wing, instead he’s supposed to be as wrong as possible. As an example rather than “Pro-choice” or “Pro-life” Kelly is “Pro-abortion”, because he hates children and thinks they should be aborted before they have a chance to destroy their parents lives. Or the comic where Kelly opposed drug legalization… because police dramas wouldn’t have anything write about.
Oddly, Kelly’s “wrong as possible” stance does seem to frequently align with right wing politics, for some reason.
I hope Al sees this, because I think he’d think it’s hilarious.
