JP Morgan isn’t that bad… they would first interrupt translation…
So… Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was killed by…?
It could possibly be considered a jungle.
Yes, that figures. J. P. Morgan got his start in 1861, buying a warehouse full of Colt six-shot rifles from the US Army, then selling it back to the Army. Cheating is in his and its blood.
@ Trimutius:
You mean transmission? xD

Yeah… Put the wrong word in there…
And now for some other random political comic.
And it’s not that I disagree with it! – Heck, I might even agree with the punchline. If only I would get it… 🙁
In the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps with the fishes tonight!

There is nothing to get JP Morgan is just a very powerful worldwide corporation… They are extremely influational and stuff… Also have some accusation about obstruction of justice…
So who is this lion ? The one from zootopia ?
So… can someone explain it to me? I dont quite follow

A lion is inexplicably wearing a suit and giving a newscast about wrongdoing by financial company JP Morgan Chase when he’s assassinated.
Why a lion? Who knows.
I ordered a side of context with my comic, but it’s not in the bag! Not even under the napkins!

The context is thin air and was delivered in the package. You might have overlooked it.
The man with the golden hair meets the man with the golden gun. Big Money don’t want any other kings but themselves.
Okay, so a lion is taking blood pressure medication.
In panel 2, he’s cleaning up his appearance to appear on TV.
He starts talking about the 3 main stories of the night.
Student Loans.
TARGET2 (A banking system that helps to maintain monetary policy in the EU. I think.)
Then in the last panel, before the lion can implicate JP.Morgan Chase in something newsworthy, likely a scandal, he is assassinated.
So is this related to the Wellness rewards that Chase is offering?
Is it related to the JPM Coin that they’re going to release? (A crypto-currency that’s not a crypto-currency in the way that Brutal Legend (2009) was an RTS game that wasn’t an RTS game [But was very much an RTS game])
Is he a lion because that’s the logo for another prominent bank?
Am I reading too much into this and it’ll be revealed as part of an ongoing story tomorrow?

Well done, ING is an international rival of JP Morgan with a lion logo. I too couldnt think why it was a lion.
Given the author’s interests, it’s likely the bitcoin. Though TARGET2 is likely to get people shot too…
I like how in the German translation he says ‘student loan crisis in the US’…
@ An Cat Ꝺuḃ:
Yeah, it wouldn’t make much sense otherwise. There isn’t a student loan crisis in Germany. Some people have to pay back part of the governent funding they got (Bafög) but it’s usually way less than a Student loan in the US and they have to pay it to the german government that probably didn’t kill any journalists the last few decades.
I read the shooting of the lion as the information about JPMorgan Chase been hidden behind a shocking flash news about yet another trophy hunter killing endangered species in Africa.
@ Dazkey69:
Reminds me of a sign in a NYC clam bar. “The fish you eat today, last night slept in the bay.” Someone wrote in under it, “Next to the Gambino brothers.”
I thought his head exploded because of the news.
SINUS CLEARING
You’re doing it wrong.
…
For random panels with absolutely nothing to do with each other aside from the character (who is apparently now dead, so we shouldn’t expect to see him in any future strips either.)
Is this what happens when cartoonists write comics on magic mushrooms, but don’t have the good sense to tear them up after they sober up and start drawing?
@ Hinoron:
This is what I’d expect more from a comic created by one person. Maybe the author was high, drunk, overworked or just agitated, so they made thing and posted it before anyone could stop them. But this is a comic written by two people collaborating with each other, so they had to plan it all out together and make a conscious choice that yes, this makes perfect sense and is a good direction for the comic to go.
This is still not as bad as Suicide For Hire or this one Undertale fanfic that started with 10 perfectly normal chapters before Frisk suddenly started burning books about social justice… still, I hope Novil and Powree give up on sociopolitics before it gets any worse, cause I have little faith in it getting better.
Is it just me or the lion looks like the bullet is just a minor inconvenience making him nothing more than a bit grumpier?
Someone have writers block lately? 🙂
small bit of history, student loans didn’t use to be so predatory, they also could be defaulted on by declaring bankruptcy, but the people who did that in mass then became people in power with investments made student loans a exception so that people under em can never get out of em.
He’s a sacrificial lion guys.
Hopefully this isn’t a one shot comic. If it is, it’s missed its target and I have come to expect a higher caliber of writing than this.
@ demarion:
Tesla’s most foolish decision was to trust that man.
<He got off easy compared to what happens when you try to be a decent person to everyone equally. I=ve seen people mugged by mobs just for smiling the wrong way. It=s disgusting what this country has come to./>
@ Hired Agitator:
That statement is so obviously flame war bait. I wish Novil would get his hands off the landmine that is internet politics. More raccoon kits would be lovely. Heck, seeing Cloud in that outfit I’d take over these baity filler pieces. Even a hiatus would be better than encouraging the fanbase to polarise and asplode.
Wow. Funny to Not in one easy step. This is gonna be interesting.
So one major bank is a lion who reads the news, and another is a hunter who shoots him because he talks about student loans.
What does this have to do with a girl and her talking raccoon?
Enough of the cat videos. That newscaster is lion.
Are the creators really mad about people who come to work sick perhaps?
Lion has a cold and gets shot for trying to act like it’s nothing, is my guess.
It feels like something you’d publish if you’re out of it from a cold…
I didn’t get this either (and also thought of the hunting endangered species scandals). Maybe I just don’t know enough about financial institutions except to avoid the big ones. I still don’t understand even after reading some respondents’ explanations and even had to look up Target2 to know what that was…
Cecil, no!
Honestly, if I wanted to see a stupid political cartoon by somebody that thinks themselves to be some kind of wise (ass) philosopher I’d get a copy of the New York Times and throw away the other pound and a half of paper. I come here for comics about teenagers and animals being generally socially inappropriate in humorous fashion, especially when adult supervision/encouragement is involved. Stick to that and leave the political/financial/etc crap to the people who are paid to not entertain people and stick to the actual entertainment, please.
Yet another one of those esoteric strips. :/
Hey Novil, IK its a lot to ask but could you take down any comments by a Micah Mlyniec. Im really sorry for asking but they come up when you search my name and i rly dont want that coming up. Lots of luv
I don’t get it but whatevah…

Maybe, or just the version of some other medication for creatures with high blood pressure. I’ve seen a cold & flu medicine like that, for example.
