thats not how comedic timing works. You can't just put that in the title. I would expect people read the title first. also I am slightly upset that cannibalism is framed as "evil" here, but you know, your opinion.

I like the Onion's cartoons, but they're also often confusing. At least for this one, I get what it's trying to say, though the meta-ironic huge labels, extremely bad puns, (in this case also a rather incoherent speech bubble from the dad) make this a fun experience too. But other cartoons like https://theonion.com/stars-and-strips/ also have meaning that I don't get, or the godfather references or whatever. maybe others appreciate this complexity better. Is it because I'm too young, do they put references to old media often? The Godfather is from 1972. Also, do you think they're doing this big literalness in the dialogue and the huge labels just to make fun of cartoons and how they influence what you think about the characters? Or is there some trend in other cartoons, where some Cartoons are seen as special for being very literal?
