Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 10, 2016
Transcript:
Rat: Who are you? Man: Humor police. From now on, I'll be deciding what's funny and what's not. Pig: What do you think is funny? Man: Everything. As long as it doesn't involve race, ethnicity, religion, politics, sexual orientation, gender, transgender, obscenity, body-shaming, age-ism, the disabled, little people, vegetarians, the gluten-intolerant, opinions, truth, or cruelty to dolphins. Rat: Wouldn't it be quicker to list the jokes we can make? Man: The chicken crossing the road one. Pig: Hahahahahahaha I love that one!

There is a name for this man, and he just got put into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for the next four years. Oh, and Rat is surely about to live there in the Pearls world, for that matter.

Why did the chicken cross the road? 1. To see a man lay bricks. 2. To prove to the possum that it could be done.

Are you kidding, Stephan? Did you write this strip before the events of this week? We’re SUPPOSED to make fun of people because of their race, ethnicity, religion,politics, sexual orientation, gender, age, and disability. That’s what the best and brightest do now. It’s the New American Way.

The problem with a lot of humor is that too often, it is inviting people to laugh at certain people, usually those with the least amount of power. Now, many of those groups are just plain tired of being the butt of everyone else’s jokes.
I wonder if it is at all possible for humans to laugh with each other instead of picking out a section of the group to laugh at?
Probably not. We do the best we can,

Being offended is a choice people make, nobody can force anyone to get offended.
I will say this humor police dude is pretty funny if he thinks he can enforce all that.

Sisyphos about 8 years ago
I am offended by Humor Policeman’s stereotypical outmoded uniform and mustache.
I am also offended by chickens, if they are not cooked properly; too often I’ve had to send restaurant chicken back to the kitchen because it was inadequately cooked.
Whatcha gonna do, Cartoon-Boy, when the Humor Police come for you?
