    No need to. He wasn’t always like this. He was always misanthropic but he was more of an equal opportunity misanthrope. The far right bullshit came later.

      He was always like this, but his comics weren’t that deep and the ideas in them were just things people sent him. They were vague enough that we all just put our own meanings into them. Rewatch some of the cartoon, and you’ll see the red flags. The Bob Bastard episode clearly comes from an incel mindset.
