    This is great.

    That’s the joke/point in many comics and comic book movies, too.

    Subversive ideas can’t always be communicated openly in children’s media.

    I think the world is a better place for having difficult disruptive ideas voiced in children’s movies, even when they’re only allowed to come out of the mouth of the bad guys.

      No, it isn’t.

      What the cartoonist is very accurately depicting is the super-creep genre’s typical practice of painting subversive ideas as inherently dangerous.
