I find these dark and surreal cartoons incredibly funny.
Not to be a stickler, though, I‘m genuinely wondering: While it might hammer home some point and connect with people‘s sensibilities better than the (admittedly clunky) canon does, it could just as easily be said to fall under wrong speech.
Memes in general are time wasting brain candy by design, and usually idle speech. In addition, although I‘m personally not too concerned with outward demonstrations of respect and reverence for a religion (if I were to draw Dhamma cartoons, they‘d probably be worse than that), other practitioners might be offended by renderings of passages from the canon that don‘t look „clean“, and argue that this might be harsh speech or even slander (i.e. misrepresenting the Dhamma).
Any thoughts?
