    Why is she shooting ghosts with a gun?

    Are they silver bullets and werewolf ghosts?

        Yes, that’s what we are aware they are. But she’s saying “oops, it isn’t a ghost” after shooting it and finding out.

        If she initially thought it was a ghost, why is she using a gun?

        It’s like the theory of mind questions about moving a ball into a box when someone is out of the room.

        Does she just shoot things she thinks might be ghosts to test if they are?

        Is she going to murder trick or treaters when Halloween comes around?

        This comic raises more questions than it answers.

          No, not really. It’s not that deep:

          Daphne: sees klansmen

          Daphne: knows they’re racist, murderous pieces of shit

          Daphne: shoots them dead

          Daphne, tongue in cheek: “oops, it isn’t a ghost”

          END.

          That’s it, that’s literally what this is. You’re overanalyzing something very obviously intended to be anti kkk.

      She knows they aren’t ghosts. She always tells Shaggy and Scooby that there are no such things as ghosts. It must be about creating an alibi.

        The Hashtags. While browsing #Art I was able to find people who share old book illustrations, street art, museum rotations, comics, you name it. It also helps by sorting the posts by your spoken language, since the hashtag will be a word in your language.

      I saw it the other day here (‘here’ being relative cause I don’t remember the insurance it came from) so it’s probably just repost bots putting in work 🙄

        You mean, like this? Or this? I found better examples on my web search, but they appeared to be from personal sites, and I wasn’t broadcasting that.

        There are curves etc. around the belly button that will stretch and twist fabric like that, particularly if they’re somewhat tight. Weight doesn’t have a large bearing on it, but lighting will make it more or less obvious. If you can see it in staged pictures, you will see it in more casual settings. And it’s not too surprising an artist would notice details like that.

      But we’re fine with the gun and murder?

      Understand the way in which people commonly use iconic media figures in artistic, subversive ways to parody and highlight social issues. It’s a human thing, humans do it.

      You gotta try to fit in y’know.

          I’m pretty sure this is a rough draft. Artists use these markers for correct proportions and take them out with the finished product. But many things of this sketch look unfinished.

          I mean, they asked for it. I wouldn’t call it murder. She might have a really good case of self defense.

              Are you defending the KKK…? We’re all joking here, but the joke of the meme itself is that she shot KKK members. Do you know their history of racism and lynching black Americans? If you are supporting white supremacy so much so that you’re riding around in their klan outfit? Eh…

              That’s like claiming to be part of the Nazi party in Germany, you’re going to get what you Fucking deserve and I doubt anyone would bat a fucking eye at whatever you got for your Nazi beliefs.

                I didn’t even realize it was KKK. I thought it was just a dark joke about how the ghosts always being bandits in disguise in the cartoon.

                I think the joke here was that, like jimbob in the gif, Daphne wasn’t actually being attacked the Klanners at the time. The ‘its coming right for me’ is being used to justify killing the target(s), the ram(?) in jimbob’s case, the Klanners in Daphne.

                Also like Jimbob, no crime was depicted in either image, only justified self defense as would be recognized by a jury of their peers.

                  The jimbob gif isn’t an accurate comparison is what I’m saying. Klanners aren’t an animal doing animal things to defend itself from something it’s limited intelligence designated as a threat, or it just wildly flexed and jimbob freaked and attacked. The jimbob gif would be better compared to the police* officers jumping out of their patrol car and unloading their full magazines… after an acorn struck their vehicle.

                  My comment was she would probably be able to articulate a self defense claim against the klanners… because they’re actively trying to strip human rights from people and/or outright murder them. And, they have the intelligence of a man rather than some random animal.

        I’d have a full on hard on after mercing* 4-5 without getting shot myself. Daphne is rocking it, kudos to her.

    So I have a fake white supremacist Facebook account where I befriend Nazis and then report all their Nazi posts and get them banned. My Klan friends are extra hilarious because they’re so exquisitely stupid. One of them spent last weekend trying to pull a bad tooth out of his head with pliers.

      Just imagine the low IQ intrigue if one of them especially the guy with the bad tooth reads this. The witch hunt could be entertaining. You should figure out a way to get it posted there.

        Yeah. It’s more your Corpo Nazi. The ones wearing nice suits and complaining about high taxes and the cost of immigrant labor. The ones keeping that cost low by making them fight to get into the country and afraid they’ll get caught so they work for peanuts.

        Also they hate adult women because they can think for themselves so they take 12 year girls instead thank you very much…

        But yeah. Klan at heart but a tiny bit smarter

            Mostly about who should be in their group or not, who should lead, which colour of wizard robe they should have in particular, sometimes about paying membership dues. I’m serious when I tell you that algae has more intelligence than the Klan.

              One of the more prominent members of the gop primary election was the son of an Indian immigrant. I wonder if the klan is just the old guard of fascism

        I convinced them to vote for Joe Biden because it’ll kick off race war, which is something they’re obsessed with.
