These comics are fucking awesome, so when are they getting cancelled? Soon I bet.

>>90335001
The comic gets shit done and the story is self-contained. It's also not afraid to portray rich business owners like Mr. Slate and Crod as just ordinary people with flaws like everyone else.

>>90335043
12 will probably be the last.

>>90334916
I don't really like this resolution because it didn't resolve the initial conflict
When you're at the top, it's easy to see the value of everyone getting only what they "deserve".
Slate only found that was wrong after he was no longer at the top.

But what if he really was at the top the entire time? Then he'd keep on being a bastard forever? Some people really are on top all the time, so does that excuse their actions?

Yes.

Just like real life.

Do you not like realistic resolutions? Should have America Chavez time traveled to punch out Mr. Slate in a Communist takeover of the quarry, and then opened their borders to the sinister tree people?

>>90335216

Because the good don't sell.

>>90335261
Just realistic, sorry.

>>90334370
That's the kind of discussion you get when you shoehorn social political commentary into a caveman honeymooner cartoon funnybook.

OP here. Well, this wasn't actually such a /pol/ bait like last issue, but hey, it was pretty good still.

>>90335279
I just didn't like how honest and true Slate's confession was
It was too on the nose.

It'd have been better if it subverted itself again at the end
Like, the lesson he learned wasn't that everyone has weakness relative to someone else, but rather "We gotta fuck the guys above us because they're inhuman monsters"
Then Slate tries to recruit Fred in toppling Clod

>>90334946
And the moral of the story is: always remember to unionize, so that your boss doesn't have to go through a self-humiliating journey of discovery involving an eagle and a dishonest dating partner.

>>90335417
But Clod isn't a monster, he's flawed just like everyone else.

>>90334370
IT WAS THE JEWS!

>>90335453
Yeah, exactly.
That's the joke

I didn't like how "true" Slate's revelation was
He should have still been a bastard. Just one that wasn't shitting on Fred

>>90335632

>>90335672
I agree in part. But when we have garbage like Gwenpool continue, while Flintstones is ending, it's pissing me off.

>>90335713
Wait, are you just assuming, or is Flintstones actually getting cancelled?

>>90334834
haven't laughed out loud at a comic in a long, long time

we don't deserve this book

Great book. Had small expectations pre-release but this is just great, will get trade when it comes out

So wait, the purple elephant thing is God, right? Is that where this is goin?

>>90335493
She was indeed being dishonest, but dishonesty is celebrated in Vorpianism, provided that you've personally benefited from said dishonesty (bonus points if you've inconvenienced or harmed someone weaker than you in the process).

>>90335742
I believe that issue #12 is the final one. Then Flintstones is going to be replaced by another Hanna Barbera title.

>>90335556
Shut up gorilla, no one likes you.

Fucking herbavoirs, I swear to Vorp

>>90335713
>I agree in part. But when we have garbage like Gwenpool continue, while Flintstones is ending, it's pissing me off.

It's better that Flintstones be short and sweet, and loved for as long as people continue to read comics, rather than wither and rot in its old age like The Simpsons.

>>90335791
His species was but then they found out he was a vacuum cleaner, go read the older issues.

>>90335832
I' m not saying to go on for decades, but a couple of years more, wouldn't hurt.

>>90335713
Gwenpool isn't that bad but she's worse on every other book. Plus I'm pretty sure she'll be Marvel-cancelled like every other Marvel book and be relaunched every year and a half with a #1.

>>90335874
12 issues is actually probably about right for a comic like this. Get your jabs in, tell some good jokes, give some satire on plenty of issues while you can, but don't over stay your welcome. 6 issues is a little too short, see Russell's run on Prez which could have used a second Arc. But I don't know if I'd stick with it for 24 or 36 issues. The joke (and this is very much a one joke premise, all the little things like the Homo Habowlis sign are all the same joke) would get old.

>>90334370
>Comic about modern politics told using cavemen as a metaphor
>People talking about the politics involved are in the wrong
Why even post the comic then?

>>90335991
Honestly, if they can keep up the good writing, they could do many more issues.

>>90336051
/pol/ doesn't discuss politics.

If anything his profit margin should have remained the same unless the new workers really are better than Fred and Him said.

>>90335991
>see Russell's run on Prez which could have used a second Arc.

Oh for fucks sake why did you have to remind me of that. I loved that book, even if it was just a comic version of Idiocracy.

>>90336224
The investment community liked State's gutsy move and so the stock value rose

>>90335713
We're getting Jetsons in its place, though, and that could turn out great, too, so I'd say this is for the better. Flintstones have a satisfying ending and we get a spiritual successor.

>>90334556
So is that garbage truck also being moved by the drivers feet?

>>90334597
Have you ever noticed how bizarre it is that the media generally always depicts the rich as hating the poor and doing everything in their power to hurt them when in reality the rich are the same people perpetuating this myth while also being the biggest supporters of charity literally cannot stop tripping over themselves to say positive things about the less fortunate.
After a while the trope just starts looking like self deprecation.

>>90335111
His position never really changed, though. He just found out there was someone even higher above him, and experienced essentially what he himself did to his workers. He realized that if he has the attitude that everyone can be replaced, that means everyone's replaceable, including him. Because there's always someone more rich and powerful than you.

>>90336229
I forgot it was the same guy until I was looking for the date the trade was coming out on Amazon, but it's really not that surprising. This and Prez have a lot in common as far as political satire and in panel background jokes.

>>90336370
Because it's what people want to hear, simple as that
It doesn't matter what the rich really believe.
You don't get rich by being honest.

If you tell people what they want to hear, you can do anything. Even be voted into the Oval Office

>>90335132

But any political discussion on /co/ is labeled /pol/ as a kneejerk response.

>>90334509
What an arm

>>90336370
Charities are for tax deductions and everyone in the public eye wants to look like they care, do you think their charitable donations are even a fraction of their net gross? It seems more like they know they can't be stopped, and any negative depiction the public cooks up just makes them seem silly, shallow and opportunistically greedy. It's easier to rip someone off if they think you're foolish

>>90336443
The media are the rich though.
The whole idea of the evil rich person spitting on the poor is a story told by the rich to the poor to villainize the rich, shit makes no sense.
That comic was probably drawn by somebody that was quite wealthy.

>>90336514
>You don't get rich by being honest.
Who did Oprah kill?

this is a good book, as someone who hates marvels politics I can safety say i love this book because it deals with things smartly and fairly

>>90336666
>do you think their charitable donations are even a fraction of their net gross?
Do they have to be?
Also didn't Bill Gates donate his entire income for a couple of years to charity?
Also if charity can only be a facaade why be upset if someone doesn't donate to it?
Wouldn't this make a rich person that doesn't donate to charity more honest by comparison?
I just don't see how this is a game where anyone doesn't end up the bad guy.

>>90334447
I giggled.

>>90336699
Honesty has nothing to do with murder.

If you want to know what lies Oprah has told, a quick google will give you hundreds of fucking news stories in hundreds of different publications over the past few decades.

Now you're understanding why communists call their footsoldiers "useful idiots."

Class consciousness is a high-class construct that the rich dangle in front of the poor in order to trick them in to doing their bidding.

(That's not to say that some leaders don't preach a "classless" society for the same reason....)

I've never cared for The Jetsons all that much.

I mean Flintstones was always meant to be a spoof on modern times so it was always full of material or characters.
But Jetsons was just future antics, so it was just "crazy technology" "pushing a button is hard work" kinda jokes that I felt got tired way faster.

Stock value is based on how good the stock traders think your company is doing, not how your company is actually doing.

Slate cut back on expenses, which makes his company look more successful, thereby increasing stock value. The fact that he also cut profits in half will not matter until they report it (at the next fiscal year probably).

>>90336677

That doesn't mean they don't have a point.

>>90337640
Steve Jobs donated 0 money to charity throughout his lifetime, and there are numerous anecdotes of him abusing his wealth, my favourites are when he denied parenthood claiming he was sterile and when he bought a new car every few months just so he can drive it around without a license plate (there was a law saying that new cars have x months to get a new license plate, so he bought a new car whenever the limit was up).

Maybe workers keep dying and there's no health plan. So he hires more workers without having to pay them because they're dead and replaceable.

>>90334531
This comic is perfect.

>>90337640

There's a few very charitable types, but there have been several studies just dedicated to comparing the charity within different income brackets.

It typically follows the trend that richer people give more in raw monetary value. However, they give less money in proportion to what they actually make.

In other words, if you compare a guy who makes 60,000 dollars/year to a guy who makes 2,000,000 dollars/year, the former is more likely to give a larger percent of his income to various causes, even if he can't give as much as the latter. Unless the wealthier person has an extra incentive/chance of reimbursement.

The reason for this is largely psychological. If you have 100 dollars and you want to give 20% of it to someone, that's easy. You still have 80 bucks. No big deal.

Now let's say you have 1,000,000 dollars and you want to give 20% of THAT. You're no longer a millionaire. It seems like a massive chunk of change.

The more you have, the more inclined you are to hoard it. Even more so if you've never actually been without, before. Someone born into affluence has never had to struggle, so they're terrified of losing cash.

>The more you have, the more inclined you are to hoard it. Even more so if you've never actually been without, before. Someone born into affluence has never had to struggle, so they're terrified of losing cash.
It seems like the exact opposite would be true, A person that has known hardship isn't going to be so willing to part with money and will be frugal while a person that has never known anything but wealth will not understand the true worth of money and spend it flippantly.
I say this as a person that has been poor most of my life and even as I am starting to work my way out of poverty I can't bring myself to even consider wasting money I don't absolutely need to spend even if I was a millionaire I would be frugal.

>>90338388

Yes, but the other side of it posits that someone who struggles is going to more more sympathetic to other people who struggle, and be more inclined to help them. The Golden rule and all.

There's a limit, of course. People in the poverty line don't give as much as people in the middle.

>>90338388
I know how hard it is to break out of the "hold on to every bit habit." But then there are also the rich people who do things like go out, abuse the waitress, and leave a scanty tip because lol she was lazy. It has a lot to do with personality and empathy as well as sheer wealth class.

>>90335632
I think it's great that he's leaving at issue 12, on top and with a good run under his belt, and going over to Snagglepuss. It's not being dragged out and it's going to stand as an excellent, jam-packed with content run.

That's part of the psychology at work.

Spending huge amounts on yourself is considered better than giving it to another. Even if it's something you're bored of in two days.

A person not raised in wealth is not used to living in a way other than paycheck to paycheck so they have very little relevant skills/experience when it comes to maintaining that wealth long enough to be donating in the first place.
For example. Did you know that all business lunches are for free after the tax deduction? So long as it was an official meeting for business purposes you don't have to pay shit for food.
A person not born into wealth is going to have no goddamn idea that he/she could/should be doing that to save money in the first place.
Or yachts.(my memory isn't perfect on this one so this is more of a guideline) You can get the US government to give you money for a second house at the cost of something i can't recall since it's negligible after you do this. So what you do is give a boat a kitchen, bathroom, etc to have it technically be considered a house. Then you rent that fucker out to the yacht club for free money. And you can still take your yacht out for a spin during the times you decided to not rent it out instead of gathering barnacles like people who don't know of this trick would be doing.

But that is exactly wrong, a person that is used to being frugal will continue to be frugal even if they suddenly find themselves with money, the ones that you see quickly blow through money and end up back where they started are people that were usually on welfare or so ridiculously poor that they had as little understanding of the worth of a dollar as a rich person, but working poor people that live paycheck to paycheck are not as likely to be so careless with money they have.

The company gave away the car to the audience. The company then went on to pay most of the local and state taxes that would be owed. The 7k or less left over is out of her hands and doesn't benefit her in anyway.

So what did she lie about? Not predicting the gov would pull obscure tax laws out of their ass?

Obscure? It's the fucking difference between a gift and a prize. It's not obscure. It's about as basic a tax detail as you can possibly fucking get, especially when you deal with television. She could have paid the taxes and had it filed as a gift by her show's accountants. The recipients would have been in the clear. Instead, it was categorized as a prize.

Game shows as far as I know offer you to trade it in for cash value. Thats it. And the lottery taxes still catches people to this day. Its why you here about people going bankrupt and other stupid shit.

Her company went out of its way to pay off as much as it could for people. Its the exact damn opposite of showing spite and greed. Bitching about this is looking a gift horse in the month.

I get the gist of what you mean, but its just the worst possible example you could pull.

>>90334916
This resolution feels too facile to me. Slate has one setback and he suddenly turns humble and everything is fixed? He suddenly doesn't care about his profit anymore instead of trying to maximize his profit even more to one-up Clod? Not to mention that the moral of the story falls rather flat when guys like Clod and that blonde are still living the high life with no consequences. Rather than showing Slate did something wrong, all it showed was that Slate was too weak to be part of the elite so he fell back on the "weak" religion. It literally proves Vorp's point that only losers need mercy and compassion.

>>90343571
>It literally proves Vorp's point that only losers need mercy and compassion.
Because it's unfortunately true. It's just that many more people are losers than they realize. But the actual wealthy and powerful could not give a shit mercy and compassion, and never will. Which is why it's up to the rest of us losers, even those more well off, to pick up the slack.

Have you not been reading the comic? This is something like the third epiphany Slate has had. He's still an asshole, he's just able to recognize that he's screwed up. This is the first time we've seen him make an actual positive change.

I'd hate to be a buzzkill, but sauce on previous volumes please.

You're problem is that you're looking for a comic to shove some idea of morality down your throat in the most hamfisted way possible, rather than tell a story about characters written in a believable manner.

That's such an iconic image I wouldn't be surprised if it's being saved for something special. Though since the issues are running out, ending on Fred being locked out of his own house might be a little too dark a note to go out on depending on how it's portrayed.

We don't deserve this comic.

Anyone know if it's going to get a deluxe edition after the final issue #12 comes out? What're the odds that if it does it'll also have the Booster Gold/Flintstones Special in it? Otherwise I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and buy that as a floppy.
