A Cartoon for Some of You

 
...
 
This one sort of petered out, but I'm posting it anyway, because I'm tired, and I don't make great decisions when I'm tired. 
  
How do I feel this cartoon succeeds? 
   
My alcohol analogy seems well-founded. I was going to add something about how macchiatos are like White Russians, which should make them all right to mock, but only if you (as a conservative reader) refuse to add cream and sugar to your coffee. 
   
Where do I think this cartoon could be improved?
   
Probably if it was better. You'll note, as the panels continue, the drawing gets shittier. Also, the writing. For instance, cappuccinos have nothing to do with World War Two Soldiers, or maybe they do... I have no idea, but that's not what the cartoon lady seems to be saying. 
   
Also, it doesn't end so much as stop. This is because I stopped caring about it, and by extension, your enjoyment of it. This is what happens, readers; I demand your attention and then tell you to fuck off once I've grown weary of your expectations.
     
Additionally, I was planning on getting into the fetishized (and false) authenticity of ordering a cheap cup of coffee (false, in the sense that flavor crystals aren't all that authentic) instead of a fancy, expensive, Italian sounding something or other... but I didn't get around to it.
      
...........
   
Also, unrelated, I'm entertaining a new idea wherein I wake up somewhere during the middle of the night, work until noon, take an hour or two to be among the common man, and then sleep when everyone else is hanging out, being gregarious, and having sex.  
   
Society has rejected me, so I, in turn, reject its norms.

  1. I feel like this would be a great infographic about coffee, but the conceit of aiming it at conservatives (and thereby attempting to make some sort of political statement or another?) is a bit ... weak.

    (haha, it's a coffee joke.)

  2. I both agree with and despise your criticism.

  3. re: having pretty lady drawings be your mouthpiece (that was unintentionally dirty-sounding)
