Yesh, and i thought the police deploying pallets of bricks in areas before protest were bad.
Also the disinformation campaign were seeing now also happened during the 1918 pandemic.
Is that an Anarchist symbol on that guy’s sleeve?

@ Half-Life-Zim:
The police put out bricks. Wow, the way people fall for propaganda is frightening.
@ Novil:
Funny part, nobody involved will get persecuted because even Congress and Politicians are completely complicit.
Seeing as the poor anarchist looks like he’s living in a wood shack…
I bet he’s gonna upgrade his house.

That would be a lovely turn of the comic 🙂 Especially after those “far left fascists” statements.
I’m a bit disappointed TBH. After reading the title, I thought this would be about a different Mr. B:

His last name starts with B, that rhymes with T, and that stand for TRUMP!
@ Don:
Friends! The idle brain is the devil’s playground, trouble! Meaning that the devil has a lot of fun in the president’s head!
@Don @Drumpf
It can’t be Trump. Hands are too big.
@ Don:
Um, pretty sure this guy is a stand in for one of Trump’s archenemies.

@ Novil:
In fact only some of them. The A in a circle and the K for q are symbols of the more militants and, usually, violents of us.
El anarquismo científico utópico, or in your language utopic scientific anarchism, don’t use that and we used the force in defense of people.
I suppose that novil want to show some elements in the youngers, somes in the olders too i’m afraid, that used the symbols without idea what are and only search the violence for the violence. There are many in all the spectres of the ideology.
PD: What? You don’t think no anarquists read a good strip like this, do you?

As for who “Mr. Bozzos” is, isn’t it obvious? This is a parody of Jeffrey Bezos, head of Amazon.com. Who else would love to see local retail destroyed, so that you are forced to shop exclusively online?

I could be completely misreading Don’s comment, but I got the impression it was mocking people who’d make that completely ridiculous leap while completely ignoring the far more obvious guess of Jeff Bezos.
Dart man looks awful young to be George Soros…

My thoughts exactly.
“With all these free building materials, I can fix up this place right! I might even have some stuff left over to help others. Got to pay it forward.”

Can’t help but think that the portrayal of the riots as of late is… concerning to say the least.
In several instances where people have posted “caches” of bricks to social media, alleging they’d been placed their by either police or protestors, it’s been found the “caches” could be found in place pre-lockdown as part of construction projects; while some were miles away from any known protest sites (so likely also part of construction projects). Meanwhile, a video of police loading bricks into one of their cars turned out to have been taken at a university, where the bricks came from a damaged sidewalk so were being removed for public safety (from tripping, not lobbing!) and taken elsewhere within the university campus.
Shockingly, not everything you read on the internet is true…
Bunch of clay bricks? Just what he need for his new shed?
I love it! Anyone is an anarchyst these days
Blowing up the government’s wall is a revolutionary act.
Taking the bricks from a wall the government put between your neighbours’ kids and any chance of education and a good future and using those bricks to build a school for those kids is an even more revolutionary act.
A parcel full of bricks?
Better build a bank!

Propaganda my ass.
To be honest, I’m just surprised that “Mr. Bozzos” was represented with so much hair.
I’d squee, too, for my very own pallet of Giant Pez!
@ Mogster: Aha, I see you are a chap as well. Good taste in music. 😛
Is it interesting that this strip used the real name of Elon Musk in another parody strip, yet feels it has to use a slightly different name (and likeness) for Jeff Bezos?
Saying it now, he’s gonna fuel the lava moat
@ Cosmacelf:
This might be because Elon Musk actually likes being included in various cartoons (he even had a full eposode in the Simpsons), while Bezos usually just sues.
On the other hand, i’m pretty sure this time he is actually clean as he seems much smarter than to sponsor communists posing as anarchists. You dont’t really see any circled A-s around protest sites (aka. looting and demolition sites), but lots of red hammers and sickles and black workers fists, both well known communist symbols. The latter was also being used for black power by the black panther party, a well known maoist (chinese far left) organization. The only thing i dont’t get is who’s sponsoring them? Anyone doing it must be at least maoist (so not a capitalist), have access to lots of money, have lots of foreign students at US universities and have some serious grudge with the current US president. Who could be that person or state?
@ Don:
More likely, it begins with B and contains an e, and a z.
Did you internationally give that guy the helltaker suit?
@ Half-Life-Zim:
Man, is that how you unload a pile of bricks undercover? By very slowly and lazily putting them on the side of your car from the side? In uniform and a marked car? I mean, american police are not the most competent police force in the world, but give them some credit. If they wanted to do that, they could pull up in hoodies in masks in a normal car. Not linking police to the brigs, and even giving them exactly the propaganda footage that they wanted. The official story seems way more likely.
Haha that was exactly what I was referencing.
@ David Nuttall:
If he wants to improve his house, I think he’s going to need more bricks than that.
@ Half-Life-Zim:
I’m not sure if you read the that link you posted, where they go on to explain that the police were collecting broken and loose bricks, not stockpiling before a protest.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/pallets-of-bricks-protest-sites/
Try researching your conspiracy before posting it
@ Half-Life-Zim:
Do you have provenance for the claim police deployed the bricks? I found that some of the bricks were near legitimate construction sites.
Given how the author’s been handling this series of comics so far, I fully expect to see a twist on this in the next one. Whether it’s a different side acting nefariously, or a subversion of the bricks (“rebuild his house” is a clever one that’s already been guessed), I would be very surprised if there was anything straight-forward about the portrayal of this once we see the next installment.
I sure hope that he has Amazon Prime, the shipping on a pallet of bricks would cost more than the bricks.
@ Segev
Or maybe its one of the very saddening “you burned down my store you bastards” clips going about the internet (with owners from both sides of the riots)… but instead “you used my bricks to build me a house you bastards!”
I am sooo glad I don’t have to deal with this bs, Yay Canada!
Sam Walton already did the job. Look at any small town Main Street and see how many local businesses still exist. If “Mr. B” eats Wal Marts lunch, I won’t be shedding any tears. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Do people remember when Sandra and Woo was about a teenage girl and her talking racoon ?
Well, the author doesn’t…
@ can we stop the politics:
Do you said like the relationship of Brandon and Larissa, or Sid, Shadow and Woo talking about democracy? Maybe when Zoey say he was homosexual?
And, how not, the lists of strips with the tag politic. The 55 of them
Maybe we not like the politics on strips or the use of them but i don’t see where the author have left his style
Bricks are a shell for the GPS and cameras hidden in the middle :>
@ Alan Richmon:
Sorry but I remembered the Sandra and Woo series to be a colorful story about a teenage girl and her peculiar talking racoon doing crazy and heartwarming stuffs.
This is not the case anymore and it hasn’t been for a long time. It seems to only be a place for the author to rant about what he doesn’t like instead of bringing joy like he once did
I came here for the laughs but the only thing I seem to encounter now when coming here and reading this is a grumpy old man in front of his porch with a disappointed and exasperated face
@ Half-Life-Zim:
Here’s a left wing journalist that doesn’t lie, shows newsguard verified sources in his videos, and refuses to lie. Even calls himself out if he’s wrong.

You DO realize that what you’re doing here IS politicking?
Trying to raise a fuss about an issue and getting others to agree with you in order to persuade someone to talk/draw a certain specific way, ESPECIALLY about a political hot potato topic, is the bare minimum of what politics is all about.
