| Description*: | From the mad geniuses over at Right-Wing Riot! This is their satiric re-imagining of Doonesbury as it would be if the Washington Post and G.D. Trudeau had as much fire in the belly for illuminating the transgressions of a Democrat White House as they did for one run by the GOP. As The Right-Wing Riot likes to ask, “What could be the (D)ifference?” | ||||

It is entirely possible for right wing thinkers to be funny. Michael J. Nelson has been a Republican voter for most of his life. It just seems sometimes that there's an inability for right wing comedians to do Satire well.
Truesbury isn't going to disprove that. If you don't like Doonesbury, you might get a chuckle out of seeing it being turned into a way to relate a conservative message. But that's literally the one joke, and it's clearly explained and telegraphed that this is the joke. I mean, if it was intended as an art project, maybe it's almost on par with Garfield Without Garfield. But it's not, with each comic also including some political exposition text embedded in the image under the comic to hammer home the point being made about the evils of being liberal/democrat/a kitten. I can't even credit it with timely satire, as the most recent comic references a scandal from four years ago.
