The ^%^%%&$ magazine is jammed in backwards!!!!!!

 

[Big Daddy Grim]

ahhh I can't see it

Takes in a presumably beater gun to a gun trade in program.

Takes the game he was given for his gun and hocks it on Ebay.

Takes the wad he made off of the game and buys a new & better gun.

It's a commentary on using "the system" and capitolism; or, depending on who is reading the cartoon, the stupidity of "the system."

Q

 

[armoredman]

Sounds good to me! Capitalism in action!

 

[Rellian]

Here you go Tommygun... it annoyed me too

The ^%^%%&$ magazine is jammed in backwards!!!!!!

Hence why it only cost $3.

All the other bills have colors other than green mixed in. Only the $1 bill is still all green.

 

[Hugo]

Bet the backwards magazine in the rifle is a "wink wink" joke/easter egg by the artist. Couldn't resist a joke I bet.

Not knowing the background of the cartoonist, I find the depiction of the original clerk at the gun buy back (glasses, balding, turtleneck... implications of an "academic", liberal, Democrat, unmacho... hey these are just random possibilities) versus the depiction of the gun dealer (fat, bearded with stubble, trucker hat, just kind of the "redneck" look.) interesting. I wonder if there is any deeper meaning there.

 

[The Lone Haranguer]

I have no idea of the authors' political leanings or the intent behind the cartoon. In fact, I rarely even read that comic - this one just happened to hook me. All I know is that it demonstrates - in my view - the utter futility and stupidity of these buy-backs.

 

[.cheese.]

I do think it's funny that the gun buyback guy is depicted as some nerdy kind of guy, whereas the gun store guy is depicted as some trucker/redneck or something along those lines. Maybe I'm reading too far into it.

 

[Rellian]

I just find it creepy that the entrepreneur's expression never changes....



He's like..... plastic

 

[Grey_Mana]

He's left handed in one frame, right handed in the other two. combine that with the expression, and it's clear he's a Terminator robot from the future, sent back in time.

First the came for the Conner family, but I did nothing, since I wasn't an Conner.

 

[Mot45acp]

Geese, its a cartoon. A funny one to boot. Next we are going to pick apart the fact that the bullets fired in Roger Rabbit still had the casings on them.
