jeriendhalYes, you read the title right. In this wacky comic, genocidal megalomaniac Adolph Hitler is recast as a foul-mouthed, latte drinking, flannel and ironic t-shirt wearing artist in horn rimmed glasses, who lets his artistic side get in the way of slightly more important matters, much to his straightlaced advisors' dismay. Yes, everyone can have a delightful chuckle as Hitler diverts forces from the invasion of Russia so he take out the Ukraine and get their rich fields for his avocado farm.
I honestly can't decide if this is supposed to be actually funny, or just an attempt by another webcomic to sell more wierd t-shirts ("You make feel like Danzig", "Save the Panzers", "1941: A Race Odyssey") than J. Jacques' Questionable Content. God knows the joke of Hitler the Pretentious Artist has exactly one note to it, and that doesn't exactly justify the 3/4 page worth of legal disclaimers needed to keep the neo nazis out.
