Boomer Comics Get Wholesome Twist On 4chan

Boomer Comics Get Wholesome Twist On 4chan

Boomer cartoons are the worst. You know what I'm talking about: the horrendous caricature-style comics made by aging newspaper cartoonists revolving around the premise that kids today are just Too Dang Stupid to understand the world. Sort of like this:

GARN MARKSIN 2016 C o C JACK AND JILL WENT UP THE HILL TO FETCH A PAIL OF WATER... TD FETCHA CRUMMY PAIL OF WATER THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN FETCHING POKEMON CREATURES!! POKEMON GO


On Monday, a thread in 4chan's /co/ board found users skewering this cynical, miserable genre of comics by completely inverting their premises, taking their usually-downbeat punchlines and changing them into genuinely wholesome depictions of intergenerational harmony. The thread grew popular outside the board when Twitter user @banannerbread called attention to it there, and since then, a host of "Wholesome Boomer Comics" edits have grown popular.

Please Greg

Dist y King Features Facebook.com/BizarroComies BIZARRO.COM Hou're holding that book upside down, Greg. I know you're not that stupid, but I also know that things are tough right now. I wonder if, potentially, this is a cry for help. You're not responding to me. I get it, man, honestly I do. We're kids. We don't know how to process this stuff. I know your dad specifically has trained you off of expressing your emotions. But it's okay to be sad. Honestly. I'm not going to make fun of you for holding that book upside down like I know you want me to. Exacerbating the pain you feel will do nothing to help you process it. You need to process it now, with the way that you're eling right now. It's okay, man. Please stop trying to 'click' that book I know that you TNE oter and the Climate BIRD Change Deniers RucH WHY PuPpy TONGUES oF THE WOR LD ADVENTURES Pie?

Honestly, 99% of boomer comics are just "REEEE KIDS THESE DAYS ARE DUMB AND STUPID AND I HATE THE WAY THEY DO THINGS REEEEEEE" in comic form. Like, you can just feel the boomer-seethe behind each one.
