TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON
This cartoon has four panels.
PANEL 1
We’re looking at an open laptop. On the laptop screen we can see a Fox News show, where two hosts are speaking with a guest.
HOST: Thanks for joining us on Fox! Now, you’ve written a book about woke liberal echo chambers?
GUEST: I have! You see, woke liberals spend all their time in places where only liberal opinions are heard.
PANEL 2
The Fox show is showing an image of a book. The title is “Inside the Woke Bubble Wrap Safe Space Echo Chamber Bubble.”
GUEST: They have their own websites, their own cable networks. They’re aware that other opinions exist, but they don’t trust any news source outside their own bubble.
PANEL 3
The guest author shrugs.
HOST: Is there no way of changing liberals’ minds?
GUEST: Not while they stay safe within their echo chamber.
PANEL 4
We see a woman watching the laptop; she has an amused expression.
HOST: So sad! Good thing conservatives aren’t like that.
GUEST: Yes, exactly!
HOST 2: I agree too!
CHICKEN FAT WATCH
“Chicken fat” is an antediluvian cartoonists’ term for little details that are unimportant to the cartoon but which are amusing, at least to ourselves.
PANEL 1 – There’s a cat asleep behind the laptop. On the front of the laptop, the branding just says “LOGO.” The Fox News logo says “Faux News channel.” The chyron (the line of text at the bottom of news shows) says “Study: Your ears look kinda funny.”
PANEL 2 – The Fox logo now says “Lox News on bagels.” The chyron says “Global Warming: myth, plot or scam?”
PANEL 3 – The Fox logo now says “Over Look these words.” The chyron says “Oprah uses time machine, kills Christ.”
PANEL 4 – The back of the laptop has the planet sticking its tongue out, from the front cover of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, on it. The cat is now wearing glasses and smoking a cigarette. The woman’s coffee mug has an illustration on it of a handgun firing; below the drawing are the words “Get it? It’s a mug shot.”
