This comic goes from 2020 to 1984, was this comic originally about idiots that compared wearing a face mask to wearing a jew star?
There was a reddit sub where they take in unfunny comics (usually sexist) and then edit them to be funny. That's how this actually became a meme.
I think that was r/bonehurtingjuice
Nah, I'm pretty sure it was r/comedynecromancy. They took unfunny comics/memes and made them funny. They were an offshoot of r/comedycemetary, they just reposted unfunny comics/memes to poke fun at.
Could be a case of parallel evolution.
