A joke can be a harmless way of self depreciation--or a lesson taught with precision. It can also be a powerful weapon. All of the five comics below arguably give a negative jab to the green movement--but does that makes them less green?
These comics also indirectly warn us about the bandwagon, the clan of uncommitted green hopefuls that planted a tree or two or bought a shiny green product on the rack...and continued to fly private jets to the Amazon deforestation party.
The fact is, for any kind of positive global environmental change, we need a watchdog. And, frankly, the pro environment comics we came across are just not all that funny.
The five comic writers below give us a nice kick in the pants.
