She also has a kid on each arm. He just passed them off to some wife/nanny.

He passed them to the same mom who competes this race against him. then once he wins the prize, he tells her to pay her equal share

What, no, that would be cruel! He rakes in thousands then magnanimously hands her the pre-agreed minimal wage for taking care of his kids. Isn't the trickle-down effect beautiful? 🥹

Wrong picture. There is neither in this one.

"also when the race starts, I'll start running but you gotta wait 400 years before you're allowed to run, ok?"

Ha! Good point. "For now just put these chains on"

He cannot complete the race if he cannot move. He is nearer to you than the finish line or the nearest obstacle. They attached a ~~mace~~flail to your leg. Perhaps today is a good day...

A mace is a club with a heavy end. What she's got there is a flail.

I'm pretty sure those are gang-related yoga pants

And don't complain about the ball and chain or else I'll penalize you for DEI...and don't tell your kids, future generations or anyone else about this either since we will be telling them that no such hardship existed and will fucking engrain it into their small impressionable brains

So the finish line is death right? Is the joke they are both racing towards it?

I like this better. It clearly identifies that the issues are financial, and that it affects some races differently.

The cartoon screams identity politics which is like cocaine to right wing talking points.

Someone find a GIF of the dictator running a race

(The distance is also different in reality.)

If the hurdles inconvenience him he can always stack up some corpses and use them as stairs
