Mike du Jour by Mike Lester for October 13, 2022

Perfect summary of the “me too” movement.

I’m calling Gov. DeSantis.

I say, "GET A FREAKING LIFE! "

Time to load the next blueberry muffin with laxatives.

What if they are both women?

Annnnd the trumpling-right-wing-fascist loses a reader!

OMG. This is weeks strip has got to be one of the best sendups of the improper use of a word, in this case the word woke I have ever read. Funny…..Too Freaking Funny.

In my mind, I live very far away from Woketardville, but even I can see that this cartoon is tasteless. Women have had to fight so hard for so long to have someone, anyone, actually listen to them when they’ve been sexually assaulted. I thought our country was beyond the days when “she must have deserved it” was an all too common a response to a woman’s plea for help and justice. I understand that absurdity is a fundamental element of satire and that the extremism is inherent in the “Me, too” campaign, but this cartoon goes too far to be funny.

This is not amusing at all.
