This was made, of course, in response to the backlash against Rashida Tlaib daring to boo Hillary Clinton. I don't think I need to elaborate on why that sucks, people smarter than me have probably written about it.
My favorite joke here is the 'hot sauce in my bag swag' refrain- truly a bizarre gaffe from the 2016 election, and probably my favorite, better than anything Trump said. I love the idea, as seen in this comic, of it being used as a sort of Lord's Prayer for Hillary stans- to be repeated to oneself as a form of spiritual comfort in times of distress.
I've always enjoyed the 'burst of jokes' style of panel. Are these all things she's saying in a row? Things she's thinking of saying? I view it more as capturing the general energy of the comedic reaction, from many different angles. Why settle for one punchline, when there is so much material to work with? This is a major part of what makes Virgin vs Chad memes some of the only really funny memes, I believe. Of course, this technique could grow tiresome if overused, but I think it adds an extra dimension to my comics that isn't seen in most typical 4panel webcomic punchlines, if you'll allow me to toot my own horn for a moment.
