StoneToss

StoneToss (full title: StoneToss: A Political Cartoon is a webcomic put out by its titular author on a bi-weekly basis. Its humor is generally oriented around American Politics, social critique, and being offensive in the name of humor.

It's typically drawn using a 4-panel comic format, using a simplistic art style composed of black and white characters with colored background set-pieces. Each comic is very short and typically meant to be a quick read, generally making a simple if the offensive point about something and letting the art ask the question "Why so offended?" to the reader.

It has often been accused of extreme political bias, particularly being Nazi or extreme right in tone, which the author has consistently denied, and maintains, like any other comic that makes jokes about politics and other touchy subjects, it's offensive in the name of being funny and nothing more.


 * And That's Terrible: As shown here.
 * Banned On TV Tropes: Despite the author's own admission they'd make a terrible Nazi and many strips where they are willing to mock both sides of the argument, TV Tropes has banned their page on this web-comic because it's "alt-right Nazi propaganda". Ironically enough, despite the author often presenting proof to the contrary, he also admits anyone who honestly believes this about him merely proves the point of many of his strips.

 * Irony: If race is a social construct is there any point to making it more diverse?
 * Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: As shown here.
 * Kill It With Fire: Didn't just happen during the Holocaust.
