    Why do you consider this an advert? Because it mentions Sidewalk Bubblegum, which is “Clay Butler’s self-syndicated weekly political cartoon”? I hardly think that by drawing cartoons such as God Bless America, Or Else! he belongs to the racket of greedy profiteers who manipulate people into buying stuff they don’t need.

    God Bless America, Or Else!

      Being part of the racket has nothing to do with it. It could be an advert for anarcho-communists and it would still be an advert.

      I specifically said I have no problem with it. But a signature is still a form of advertising and there was a complaint that it wasn’t shown, which I just thought was funny considering the premise.

      I think it should be the norm to display a discrete signature on comics. I just thought it was a funny comment in this specific scenario.

      What a way to kill the fun.
