Two brave, cheeky social commentators, intelligently identifying themselves only by the initialsJC + APK, have launched the webcomic series “Hipster Hitler” to heavy fanfare. While still in its infancy, the three-episode-deep strip (the other two are included after the jump) is smart, ironic and, at times, laugh-out-loud funny. If you dare wear one in public, the Hipster Hitler guys (gals?) have also madea line of T-shirtsbased on the shirts he wears and the comic itself.
Over the years, Hitler has strangely become an Internet sensation of sorts, with thenow-ubiquitousseries ofDownfallparody videos, which show him reacting to things that bother him in modern popular culture – from LeBron James leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers to Susan Boyle not winning Britain’s Got Talent. Like the videos, “Hipster Hitler” turns the most evil human being in history into a caricature, allowing all of us to step back for a moment and laugh at someone we truly despise. That’s a rare opportunity in life and one of the reasons why I think the Hitler meme has been so successful.
More of these comics are sure to follow, and hopefully they’ll be as clever and original as the first three.
