When satire becomes reality, cartoonists become fiction

British cartoonist Bob Moran says the world has become so absurd that it's hard to tell what's a joke and what isn't.

I invited British cartoonist Bob Moran to my podcast after reading his fascinating post on X:

In case you haven't seen the 'Australian breakdancer' video and because the Olympic Committee is trying to have it taken down everywhere, here it is in full.

As a cartoonist, I can relate to Bob's sentiment.

What he says here is true. The line between satire and reality has blurred so much that it is now tricky to distinguish between the two. I like Bob’s point that nobody knows whether the Australian breakdancer is a joke.
