Agreed. The edge of absurdity is still funny though, the boundaries just shift over time, and new creativity finds it. I would argue that Sean Tejaratchi is one to chart such waters:
It’s sad he’s mostly devolved into pandering to right-wing memes, selling anti-SJW calendars and other stuff that’s really just beneath him, I guess to try and remain relevant or make a buck. His early zines were funny and fantastic.
