I always felt bad for the original artist, Matt Furie, who fought against his cartoon’s appropriation by the alt-right. The other post says there’s a documentary about his fight called Feels Good Man that I might have to check out. It won a special jury award at Sundance in 2020 and an Emmy in 2021.
