Two Panel Comic
1: [Blue background. A slightly overweight white man wears a camo bullet proof vest over a black t-shirt. He has a black baseball cap on his head and wears a red bandana over his nose and mouth. He wears a menacing expression on his face.]
Guy: I’m a Proud Boy and I will never stop fighting for true manliness!
2: [Pink background. The Proud Boy now twiddles his fingers, with an abashed expression on his face. His eyes are drawn in an anime style with an anime blush across his nose and cheeks.]
Guy: But I also gotta hide my face because I’m a widdle soft-as-baby-shit chicken.

The name itself is one of non manliness.
Maybe they should switch to, “Men with Pride”?
I thought they were a gay band or something when I first heard of them. I see now they’re just a bunch of hateful white pigs with nothing better to do.
PizzaCake is political Garfield
It’s not clever, it’s not funny, it’s not edgy, it’s not smart… it’s the predictable safe, tired, thing and for some reason people eat it up
“HAHA, Mondays do suck!”
“Right, why cover your face if you’re so proud?”
Genius level creativity here, definitely not the same tired joke everyone makes all of the time and have been making for years
Do people not like Garfield? I love Garfield.
Garfield is notorious for being lame to the point where there are no real jokes… Garfield comics are just Garfield saying the same thing everybody says
For instance, I googled “Garfield Comic” and the first one that showed up was Garfield walking up to a mirror, Looking in the mirror, walking away from the mirror, and the last panel had Garfield think, “when did the cat in that mirror get so old?”
There’s nothing to that comic, It could have been one panel if you really wanted it to be and that “joke” is the same thing my Grandma said when we walked past a store with a reflective window
And that’s all this PizzaCake comic is
Literally everybody was like, “if they’re so proud why do they cover their face?” – it’s the political equivalant of, “If it didn’t ring up it must be free”
This shit sucks
You realize humor isn’t always the point, right? Relatability is one of the biggest reasons people read comics like Garfield. It’s not funny that he hates Mondays, it’s relatable. It’s human to seek that kind of connection. People often enjoy reading Garfield comics because we enjoy finding validation of our desire to be lazy. That being said, they can also be hilarious; I remember rereading this one all the time as a kid, and just dying of laughter.
I’m not super familiar with this comic’s artist, but I can see why you compared them to Garfield - this comic clearly isn’t trying to be funny so much as it’s trying to connect with the reader about our shared frustrations with the state of the world. It reminds us that, while the world is stacked against us, we still have like-minded people to turn to for support. It’s nice to see that.
In other words, the average person is dumb and so they’re entertained by dumb things
“You like money and sex? Me too! We should hang out”
In other words, people often enjoy simple pleasures, and simplicity is not to be confused with stupidity.
One of the first things I could draw well consistently was the dog. It was/is a great strip to imitate to learn to draw.
This has to be the most accurate description of PizzaCake.
I’m convinced most guys like her because of her spicy content. Which, I mean, go PizzaCake.
I hate people defending her like she’s some sort of edge lord.
She has an onlyfans or something? (no not requesting the link/name/whatever)
She has a spicy tier on her Patreon where she releases nudes and stuff.
Well, that certainly explains a few things. Seems kinda… weird, to be mixing both things on the same platform. Usually people keep those separate.
Efficient, though. Fewer platforms to divide one’s attention means less mental labor.
true, but i dont know… feels like if your mixing your comics and your nudes on the same platform, that maybe you arent confident in your abilities and need tits to draw more attention to your art. Not a judgement, just an observation.
smell like bitch in here.
thats more creative than anything PizzaCake has ever written
You show up every single time someone is remotely critical of Pizzacake and defend her.
Why? What’s in it for you?
Not who you replied to, but reading all the haters’ comments has become part of the pizzacake experience for me. Personally, I’m not sure why so many people spend so much of their own time and energy making the same criticisms over and over, but I know I will see the comments every time one of her comics is posted.
Why comment? Just ignore the post. Others seem to like it. Why hate on it?
Genius level creativity here, definitely not the same tired joke everyone makes all of the time and have been making for years
You heard it here, Folks.
No more making fun of conservatives hiding behind masks. Velvets tired of the comments.
Make fun of them all you want, but maybe don’t go with the most obvious jokes of all time
This is the political version of, “it didn’t ring up? It must be free”
Says the isolated lonely otter hoping for any validation to keep away the reality that they are, indeed, a loser.
Sure. Yes. And also I do hate Mondays. I do hate shit heads who uproot our society.
Yeah, the joke is ‘tame’ but it’s good that this is what the norm is. Someone needs to state the norm. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ did I chuxlle reading it? No. Am I glad this content is normal. Yes.
Hey at least we don’t get banned here for calling out hackery.
Seeing them even in drawn form, makes me disgusted.
I love the idea of anonymous sex, but would never go through with it, but I can see the appeal of wanting to have sex with a cop. I like thinking of Chantel who worked with Portland’s social services programs when I was homeless. I like to imagine she forces me to suck her ENORMOUS cock on the regular to earn housing. I can easily transfer her empathy and authority to a cop and get off that way
All these proud boy people do is hate and fear monger maybe if they opened up to new ideas they wouldn’t be that way but I don’t see that happening sadly
They aren’t proud if they are wearing masks. Are even really boys either? Is it all a facade? …
they want to be approachable to the politicians in DC, so they call themselves “boys”.
they cover their face to keep the facade up that they are just “big boys”.
Hey look at that man! He’s got feminine hips!
It’s a large part of why he’s so angry at the world. Every night he curses his half Puerto Rican dad for getting with his PAWG mom.
Proud boys have those specific colors, no idea why pizzacake went with antifa colors here.
She probably just doesn’t have a copy of the antifa handbook they give out during orientation. Might just need to run down to the headquarters for a new copy.
So sloppy. How did she even graduate Antifa War College?
Hey, my alma mater. I still remember how my litter box smelled
Pick me to one when you’re there, please. I don’t want people thinking I’m profa like Hitler.
I mean,
Proud Boy:
Antifa:
If you’re gonna make stuff shared with thousands you might want to get your imagery right before you do the regime’s work for them.
Youre way overthinking this
I dont think so.
The only people who actually know the colors are those involved in the colors.
So, yes, you are wildly overthinking this.
If you dont know Patriot Front, Proud Boys, and Vanguard America on sight by now thats a problem. Our country is literally being taken over by them right now.
Did a quick edit after searching their colors, better?
Yeah, now we aren’t conflating anarcho-communists with fascists
Well it’s either that or they’re hardened criminals who know exactly how not to get caught.
awwww. poor chickens. don’t equate them with pieces of shit like Proud Boys :(. Chickens are loving and caring, unlike these pieces of shit.
Bro, chickens are not loving or caring. They’re vicious pieces of shit that will gladly eat their own. Go visit a chicken farm. There’s a lot of good in the world but chickens and proud boys are not part of it.
giggles from a farm that has free range chickens where some of them enjoy being picked up and cuddled
I need to meet better chickens. All the ones I’ve known are jerks and cannibals.
Wouldn’t you guys dox the shit out of them if they did show their face? Would it not affect their families which probably aren’t involved?
How would it affect their families?
Most of the time when these fucks get unmasked it’s their own kith,kin, and clan who outs them since usually their proud boy persona is entirely different from their personal one which pisses people off.
To paraphrase my friends, they would be surprised if I turned up a Fascist rally while being friendly. If I turned up at a Fascist rally covered in blood and trying to stab anyone with an armband they’d be confused for non-ideological reasons.
Not even sure what proud boys are, but you guys did answer my question…
Every accusation
I’m so manly I can’t wear a medical mask to save lives. But I sure am willing to wear one to be an absolute shitbag in cowardice.
Hate this genre because it comes back to us when we are criticized for being masked in protests when its nothing to do with “manliness” for either of us its op sec.
So we shouldn’t call them babies when they call us babies for the same thing?
I haven’t found that the high road leads anywhere I want to go.
Its not about the high road its about not normalizing both toxic masculinity and the idea that “why are you hiding your identity” when that’s a value op sec strategy.
It’s more highlighting that they are cowards. They refused to mask during COVID, but are perfectly fine with masking now. Truly the definition of coward.
Then that’s the comparison we/she should be using, because it’s far better.
I mean again hate to defend these people but those were two different reasons for masking its perfectly valid to believe some things call for masking like protecting your privacy, and to also believe other scenarios don’t even if you are wrong. Unsure how its cowardice and not just them having the wrong opinions.
First of, never under any circumstances do you have to give it to fascists.
Second, during the pandamic wearing a mask in closed spaces was done to prevent the spread of COVID, to help protect the young, old and sick or to say it in more simple terms, to do something for your fellow human being. For them, this was to much to ask for. But now when they march through the streets, waving confederate flags, trying to intimidate everyone who is not as fascist and as white enough for their liking, the mask are all of a sudden no problem for them because they now that they will get into to trouble and will be shunned by all normal humans when they show their faces doing this. This is what makes them cowards.
Yeah as someone who hates Proud Boys, this is obviously a bad faith attack on them which has the exact blowback you say.
People doing (or threatening to do) political violence are usually going to want to hide their identities from law enforcement and employers, and virtually everyone is afraid of getting arrested and/or fired.
I wonder if it would be more worrying if they thought they could get away walking around without a mask.
100%
This is why people are so intimidated by ICE agents - they have the law on their side.
Well. Lots of ice still use masks.
The smarter ones know the pendulum will swing back hard.
