You can tell this is after the election, because the red bubble doesn’t show the egg prices.
interpreting “equal opportunity” as “no whites” is an extremely impressive form of mental gymnastics
Bro fuck this both sides bullshit. The “liberal” bubble seeing hungry people as victims, equal opportunity as equitable and Trump as a fucking Nazi is all accurate to the reality we are all living in.
Equating that to the misinformation bubble that sees EEO as anti-white, poor people as lazy and Trump as the next coming of Jesus is actually insane.
These are not comparable.
Probably isn’t an intended part of the comic, but I can’t help but notice the hungry person is still hungry. We are failing those who are most in need.
Can’t agree with this. It presents an unhelpful version of “both sides” and if only they could understand one another. I’m sorry but no. Such a thing as objective reality does exist and while US Democrats and those adhering to their general ideas are flawed, there is absolutely no comparison to the chaos generating madness and erosion of democracy the entire world can see easily.
Excellent comic showing how worldviews shape the information received! And it doesn’t try to dictate which is the more correct perspective, but let’s the viewer decide for themselves. And ultimately they both fail to interact with the world or each other in any meaningful way. Great work OP!
This just makes me feel like I don’t fit into either bubbles.
Does he not like eggs?
It’s pretty obvious which “side” is in the wrong. I’m tired of the both sides narrative when the right is very clearly wrong on a multitude of issues.
I’m a huge fan of your work, so cool to see it on Reddit. Kzoo represent!
If this takes people ‘a minute’ to get, I can see how we’ve fallen this far.
Damn, that’s a good one.
I think there are victims and people who truely do not want help and enjoy living free on the fringes of society.
As prescient as this cartoon is, I give it 30 days and 100 reposts before someone draws them kissing or fucking.
What was your intention with the way the liberal bubble changes “equal opportunity employer” into “all are welcome?” Does the liberal see the business as more of an ally than they actually are?
I get what this comic is TRYING to say, but the blue guy is so far up his ass he’s almost worse than the red guy.
“See, the right would simply see this homeless person as LAZY where I have enough compassion to know that he’s merely another victim of our current failing leadership. I’m still not gonna do anything to help him though, but what’s important is that I know his struggle. I am such a good person for that!”
Giving off serious “I didn’t vote but I’m still going to complain about the results” vibe.
This is more like progressive left = blue lense, other 85% of the country = Red lense (minus the Trump/Jesus poster).
The sooner ppl learn and truly realize that we are all in our own realities based on our level of consciousness, the sooner we stop wasting energy around the confusion not recognizing this simple Truth creates. The guy in the blue circle is at least at the level of willingness and acceptance. The guy in the red bubble has yet to move past some of the fundamental selfishness of pride and grievance based perception.

One of these points of view are very accurate…
I love this.
This comic is right on the money if you ask me.
I hope that guy is labeled as “Normal Person” and not “Liberal/Leftist”
If anyone walks by me wearing a maga hat that shit is getting smacked off your head
Yep! So true.
I don’t know about the victim thing, but I can see it so, yeah maybe.
They both hate the homeless?
I *do* agree that we’re all in bubbles and all view reality through a lens. And that no lenses are free from distortion. What this comic risks communicating is that all lenses distort equally. It risks, perhaps unintentionally, contributing to both sides-ism, which increases voter apathy and results in rapist convicts being elected to the most powerful position on Earth.
If the real-life blue lens exaggerates, the real-life red lens is a VR headset showing something utterly disconnected from reality.
The fact that the center panel could be the silhouette of Hitler or Elon and no one can be sure proves the person on the left is in less of a bubble than the person on the right.
