Sorry I don’t have a higher resolution version of this. It’s my favorite Kliban cartoon.
Generals gathered in their masses
Poisoning the brainwashed masses
Evil minds that fight with babies
Sorcerer of dark brain rabies
OH LORD YEAH
In the field the babies giggling
As the generals start their aiming
Never heard of Kliban. Noticed his work looks a lot like The Far Side. Looked up on wikipedia, Gary Larson’s main inspiration is Kliban. Crazy.
Kliban was an absolute genius. I have every collection available of his comics, but there are tons that were never collected. The only place I’ve found them being archived is a Facebook group.
What the hell?
You didn’t know that’s what they did in their spare time?
Spare time?
Its a metaphor
Duh, my confusion is what the metaphor is about
It’s a very direct metaphor for what generals do.
Young men die while old men grow rich and fat.
You saying it is not real game?
Ain’t war hell?
It’s so disturbing 😰
