Boomer Comics Get Wholesome Twist On 4chan
Boomer cartoons are the worst. You know what I'm talking about: the horrendous caricature-style comics made by aging newspaper cartoonists revolving around the premise that kids today are just Too Dang Stupid to understand the world. Sort of like this:
On Monday, a thread in 4chan's /co/ board found users skewering this cynical, miserable genre of comics by completely inverting their premises, taking their usually-downbeat punchlines and changing them into genuinely wholesome depictions of intergenerational harmony. The thread grew popular outside the board when Twitter user @banannerbread called attention to it there, and since then, a host of "Wholesome Boomer Comics" edits have grown popular.

Jack and Jill isn't a story, it's a nursery rhyme. Not sure why the book is that big, unless it has a sentence on every page and it's the extended version of the story… which I seriously hope it isn't, because nobody needs to see the ending of the extended version of that rhyme illustrated. Especially not before bed. May as well just read your kid "The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty" at that point…

I think it's a book of nursery rhymes.

Things change, and some of us don't like it. I don't have hard feelings for those people, but they shouldn't express negativity in these kinds of forms. These revised versions are a great way to turn the tides and actually show positivity to these changes. I like these and they should continue to flourish.

Honestly, 99% of boomer comics are just "REEEE KIDS THESE DAYS ARE DUMB AND STUPID AND I HATE THE WAY THEY DO THINGS REEEEEEE" in comic form. Like, you can just feel the boomer-seethe behind each one.
