how hard are new yorker comics even supposed to hit? they’ve always been just gags that make you blow some air through your nose. I didn’t know they’ve gone through some sort of slump…
You mean once in a blood moon.
I was initially really confused by this meme because Neanderthals were actually creative and rather culturally rich, unlike this administration.
Neanderthals were a lot like homosapiens (in fact they could breed, and they did) They could paint cave walls. They had culture and social structures. They were destroyed by violent invaders.
Almost a paradox.
i think you’ve got to consider the audience. roughly 1 in 5 americans are ILLITERATE. about 1 in 2 americans read at a 6th grade level. it’s easier to manipulate these people than a bunch of preschool kids.

Illiterate as in, they can’t read or write at all? I mean, how?
our schools have become child warehouses thanks to Bush’s dedication to standardized testing, Obama’s dedication to fixing the standardized testing problem not by saying “this didn’t work” but instead focusing on getting more kids into charter schools, Trump’s dedication to just simply ruining the whole thing by defunding and deregulating, and then Biden’s inability to address any of the things that really mattered, instead focusing on traditional economic indicators.
I still am. This comic (I don’t think it’s a “meme”) makes no sense.
He’s being told to stop inventing the wheel.
Your username is great.
I get that but what do Neanderthals have to do with it?
They’re comparing the current administration, which is canceling all research and progress such as the invention of the wheel (or other scientific development), to the Neanderthals, who are in pop culture stupid and backward people.
But it falls flat because Neanderthals were smarter than Trump and Elon combined.
Homo neanderthalensis probably had a slightly larger brain too.

Yeah, we’ve got to get rid of all of this Bronze-age crap they’re teaching our kids.
