Good morning! Ever read comics by the American Nazi Party?
Wanna see their spin on Superman?
Today, we meet Whiteman. No new slurs, but a marathon of the classics. Brace your soul, itâs swastikas all the way down.
And part of a series! The Stormtrooperâa magazine I hope you donât knowâloved this shit. Hereâs John Patlerâs thoughts on hair:
Economic anxietyâs wild.
Traitors claim nothingâs uglier than hate. Patlerâs pen defies them. I respect alt and cape art more after watching him botch both. Thatâs how you keep bloodlines pure: an unfuckable back catalog. Like most enemies of mixing, Patler has no offers.
Outside-goers take this for granted, but hate melts your brain. Fades take less time than this sentence, and smart bigots upcharge. Yet Stormtroopers choose poverty. Baffling. Whatever color your robes are, I hope you see that labeling the âblood splotched operation room uniformâ ruins perfectly viable hate speech.
Put on your lunatic goggles: whatâs â50 Evil Facial Expressions to Make While Cutting Nigger Hairâ doing here? The power fantasyâs the jokeâwhy remind readers they pay for Mein Kampf picture books? Making faces behind the enemy is less Varg and more Vance.
Still, this has educational value. De jure segregation puts this in police stations, and de facto segregation keeps it there. Badges let Stormtrooper fans live off their passion. Helpful, after your barber shop defaults.
Per tradition, this strip follows wounded eulogies for White America. Fair, given the Great Purge of 1866. The last ten blondes cower in the gutters, fleeing the Million Sentinel March. To honor the fallen and his employer, Patler challenged censorship. With a little less subtlety than modern martyrs:
The noses only get worse from here.
Nazis havenât changed muchâit chafes with the premise. They only leave manji off todayâs hats to cut costs. The American Nazi Party chair, George Lincoln Rockwell, liked these strips enough to make Patler an editor. Weâll come back to that. For now, imagine the staff that couldnât compete with âLesson in Free Speech.â
Then thereâs Whiteman.
Thatâs Captain Marvel.
Yes, swastika, bleak hatred, ant genitalia, etc. But the fucking master race ripped off the wrong superhero. The rest of this stillbirth cites Superman, and we have Captain Marvelâs design and gimmick. Whiteman looks like Billy Batson with worse parents.
As for Whitemanâs day job: turns out that dairy supremacy predates imageboards. Radio, even. So your worst neighbors are dumb and dated. Fresh ideas are vitalâthatâs why they let Clarence into meetings. No one outside of real estate puts up his numbers. Iâll admit it here: weâre really stealing their jobs.
Evil Superman technologyâs peaked. In the present, not this shit. Patler left âUber-Visionâ on the table, so I wonder why weâre even here. After Stormfront, this isnât even the best nazi Superman gag.
Honestly, most dialect writing attempts read this way to me. Sissynecks are rare. Itâs the third rail of dialogue. You can do it, people have, and Iâll be impressed if it works. Just like juggling knives.
Our hero leaps into free speech.
White Jesus wept.
I shouldnât give Patlerâs heirs on the podcast circuit help. But Iâm stuck with their work for the long haul, and would love to focus more on their dead souls than craft. Put your innocence and murders on two separate pages. At least throw a beat panel in there. I know you have Billy Batson Clark Kent jokes to mangle, but âBlack people burn down their own churchesâ needs time to breathe.
Thereâs no gun throw gag, because thatâs a Superman thing. We do, however, name-check the Man of Steel. The joke has a Bizzaro sniperâs precision.
Thatâs our warm-up antisemitism. A quick lap to numb the spirit, before jumping to the âjew from outer space.â Direct quotes, not scare quotes.
Alright, the human decency filter isnât working out. From here weâre all in. Iâve raved about breaching hell for years, and now itâs time to dig. Hereâs the alien. Your imagination wasnât far off:
Remember the good times, back in âYou Can Cut Nigger Hair?â Brighter days. Maybe we can inch back to that innocence. Until then, we have the core of microthought: Jewish warlocks summoning Black people like the Putty Patrol.
I never got that theoryâs appeal. It weighs simple, ancient hatred down with a billion canon questions. Most race warriors treat hate like mountain climbing anyway. You do it because itâs there.
For parity: hereâs the more literal hate crime I cut earlier.
Fun fact about Patler: later on, he tried the changed man routine. It sounded like horseshit, but it stuck. Today heâs a lynchpin of the Southern Poverty Iâm fucking around. Patâs face turn lasted an interview. Today, heâs riding the Trump train right off a cliff.
Anyway, blood libel Zedd makes his monster grow.
Supercoonâs hard to describe. Iâll borrow the technique of an old master.
More on that conviction later.
Another tip for Freedom Caucus creatives: the same tip. Focus. Thereâs no reason a five-page screed canât just open on Megaminstrel or Space Scapegoat and stay there. The actual hook is a caped race war. Or rather, tap-dancing followed by a felony. I could get better Aryan tracts from black undergrads for a rec letter. I might make that a contest.
Whiteman and Supercoon face off for the fate of nothing. Iâm typing a lot of words for the first time, so Iâm hyped. The rest of this cafe is tooâ half the crowdâs spectating over my shoulder, and tense. Even the staff!
Ready for the showdown?
My demands? Bring back Uber. Itâs this conflict by sane adults. In 1945, a desperate Wehrmacht figures out Captain America juice. Forcing the US to use a black supersoldier they didnât even want to make. It whipped, and then died of Publishing Disease. Tons of great work dies young, while The Stormtrooper ran for three years. Now the world must pay.
Pat had three semi-coherent lines, and couldnât choose. Been there. Help me pick one:
A) Patâs really letting Walt Disney down.
B) Pat writes the way he thinks I swim.
C) If an Aryan president gave the State of Thule before a hundred Aryan senators and reporters from ANN, The New Berlin Times and Fox News, Patler would still own none of the Earthâs wealth.
Forget nukes, we have a more pressing issue.
Whatâs going on here? What in birthrate panic am I looking at? Supercoonâs drifted from racial insult to visitor from the ocean floor. Thereâs a line between caricature and cosmic horror. Unless youâre the OG, I suppose.
Back in the action, Whitemanâs in trouble. But also fine, because heâs a genius. But doomed, because the enemyâs extra-genius. Fascismâs a dense continuity snarl in dire need of a reboot. Sadly, the fans donât care for big changes.
Letâs see his perfect/futile plan.
Maybe psychic poison-tasting has warped me, but I expected more pop from this fight. The devilâs present, but Patlerâs a weak vessel.
Put your lunatic goggles back on. This was a campus handout; Patler wants to make young failures laugh. How do you botch racism plus golden age comics? Supermanâs funny by default, if you actually read. And bigotryâs loaded with stock imagery. Merging hate and dorkdom opens infinite gates to comedy hell. Whatâs the Beer Hall of Solitude like? What specific nazi/minstrel themed powers could these two have? What ends would Blackface Bizzarro pursue? I had answers to all of these before reading panel two.
I guess thatâs nazi effort. Lightning out the gate, followed by meth withdrawal.
âSplurpâ is great, leaving us with a final score of 1. I give comics five points for existing, but life finds a way. Somehow, Patler will die thinking heâs better at this than Art Spiegelman, or a child with chalk.
Unlike Patler, we have a punchline. Ready?
His semi-talent made Patler The Stormtrooperâs best and only cartoonist. But all submediocre things end. Did hackwork kill The Stormtrooper? Shame? The FBI? No, extra no, and raspberry noises.
The Stormtrooper was the private soapbox of George Lincoln Rockwell. Each issue opened with a prose poem against colors darker than porcelain. Or, for Stormtrooper insiders, darker than untouched toilet brushes. Rockwell liked white pride, but loved Rockwell. As his stock header demonstrated:
A birthday party Goebbels. Larper is our eraâs best insult, capturing the transparent performance infecting everyone but larpers. But Rockwell was rightâAmerica had a pack of mindless, subliterate chimps running wild. One killed him for his ideas.
I like a happy ending.
âThanks an awful lotâ shows real creative improvement. Right before John entered public housing in Supercoonâs striped uniform. Likely blaming aliens. While jurors didnât dig âmy boss wasnât enough of a nazi,â as a motive, I mightâve let it go. Itâs the best joke Patler ever wrote.
I feel you, failure hurts. But more anger wonât fix this. Only education. Iâll take the metaphorical/literal bullet for all of us.
