...although isn't that what satire is? In satire, there are one or more elements of irony, sarcasm, parody, burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre. So, in a sense, satire "enhances" reality. From my perspective, the cartoon could have been an actual conversation between two people in the real world. A few years ago, while the United States was a still a free, largely capitalistic nation, such a conversation would have been considered satire. Today, more than two years into the era of post-capitalism, it simply reflects a normal conversation between two people living in our very grim reality. -ng-
