Comic #4757: propaganda
Description
Here's a detailed description and transcription of the comic:
Panel 1:
- A group of seven people sits around a large conference table. A man at the head of the table says, "WE NEED A WAY TO GET KIDS TO STOP FALLING FOR PROPAGANDA AND FAKE NEWS."
Panel 2:
- A close-up of a character who appears concerned, saying, "BUT WHAT CAN WE DO? WE'RE JUST A CANDY COMPANY."
Panel 3:
- The scene shifts, and a new heading reads "SOON…". A young child is sitting on the steps outside a house, looking at a small candy. The child asks, "THE SMALLEST SIZE IS CALLED 'FUN SIZE'?"
Panel 4:
- A close-up of another character, expressing outrage, states, "BY GOD YOU CAN'T TRUST THE POWERFUL!" Another character grins evilly in the background, saying, "GOOOD, GOOOOD."
The comic uses humor to comment on themes of manipulation and marketing, particularly in the context of children's products.
