Wow what an areshole.

I didn't say it should cater to historians and political graduates. I said even those people, who are most likely to be familiar with the events referenced in these comics, aren't going to know everything. So how can you expect a layman to know? Practice reading.

Also last time I checked proffesion had nothing to do with sense of humour.

it's not going to be a funny comic.

No it's not going to be funny to you.

Do you realise how arrogant is to tell other people they are wrong and something isn't funny. No, you just don't find it funny. I do and plenty of others judging by the upvotes.

Look at the people who are widely considered to have made the best comics in this subreddit, guys like /u/AaronC14[1] , /u/koleye[2] or /u/arrz[3] ; they practically never provide any "context" (hell, koleye almost never even comments in his own posts), and yet those comics are the ones that have connected the most with our readers. This is not a coincidence. It is because all you need to do in order to enjoy/understand one of their comics is to read the comic, and nothing else.

Yes of course the most easily accesible ones are the most popular. Same goes for anything.

That doesn't mean that comics with explanations aren't funny (of course, as you have made clear, you don't like them but plenty of others do). And no matter what you think there is no need to take such that tone with people.

Also obviously a comic being simple isn't the key to greatness. This comic is about as simple as it can get, isn't particually clever and references some of the most famous current events. Yet it still fails to be brilliant, it is just distinctly average. Obviously there is something more to making a great comic than being simple. As this comic is the epitome of simpleness yet still fails to be remarkable.
