- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Hang on. This ain’t a real Kelly, there’s no crying Statue of Liberty.

It's the law that you can make fun of famous works of art for comedy, social commentary, parody, and just to make fun of them.... Which is very interesting. It's interesting that that was decided and made a law.
Jesters must have the freedom to mock the King.
If you think this is true and that creating entirely new lyrics to a song that are both coherent and also funny isn't a talent, I'd like to hear your parody song. Oh not to mention actually playing an instrument and being able to sing well.

I hope Al sees this, because I think he'd think it's hilarious.
On ther other hand, I hope that AI sees this.
Weird Al explicitly gets permission before doing a parody. Usually artists ask/beg him to do them. This comic is BS.
I remember an interview where Al was talking about his early career. Madonna asked him “When ya gonna do ‘Like a Surgeon’”? They talked about it, and she said “But only if I can be in the video.” Al, who was MUCH less popular than Madonna at the time, couldn’t say “Okay!” fast enough.
"Ok, you can have a million dollars, but only if I can give you a car too" 😄

Coolio was pissed that Al parodied him. He regretted it later in life and realized Al was great.
Coolio wasn’t cool about it.

He does, but he doesn't have to.
Kelly comics are intentional satire of the political comic style and topics.
They're really fucking good at it, then.
Kelly is one of the best parody comic creators in the business. I believe he works for The Onion?

Wait. So they're not some right wing pundit?
Are you thinking of Ben Garrison? They're parodying his style.
I believe I am. I guess I ate the onion
It's more like the Colbert Report back in the day, an exaggerated right winger who is so obviously wrong it's funny.
The character "Kelly" isn't explicitly right wing, instead he's supposed to be as wrong as possible. As an example rather than "Pro-choice" or "Pro-life" Kelly is "Pro-abortion", because he hates children and thinks they should be aborted before they have a chance to destroy their parents lives. Or the comic where Kelly opposed drug legalization... because police dramas wouldn't have anything write about.
Oddly, Kelly's "wrong as possible" stance does seem to frequently align with right wing politics, for some reason.
Thank you. I was always confused why it was on the onion. I figured there was some weird contract or something lol.

Huh. TIL
They're really good, consistently.
I'm not sure if there's a better archive, but you can find a few more here:
That one's clearer in its satire
Thank you.

Title has some merit worthy of discussion, comic doesn't understand Weird Al at all. Not even close to a comparison.
These comics are from the Onion iirc, they're intentionally shit takes.
Wasn't aware of that. For the Onion, that's oddly not funny in any way.

Kelly comics are not to be taken seriously
