What's up with The Onion's print edition comic strip? I can't seem to locate it online, but it runs on the opinion page and it's horrible. It's seemingly heart-on-sleeve, a little red-statey, and without humor or irony. This week it basically blames the spinach contamination on illegal immigrant workers who don't know enough english to read the "employees must wash hands" sign.

Perhaps it's trying to be way over the top red-statey as an ironic statement. But these days the Right is so far out there that it's hard to lampoon them by going even further.

What is this strip doing in The Onion?
I wish I could see it now. I have never heard of it.

iirc different city versions of avclub carry different comics. do you know the name of it? in madison we just have 'red meat' and then another one (cant remember the name of it... crudely drawn, single-panel, uhh irreverentish).

That's the one! I guess you're right... they must be trying to go over the top. I'm not sure that really works, but I'm glad I'm not crazy.
