These gay autistic men have a grasp on me

YOU'RE ALIVE???

So apparently back in the 1860's this Japanese individual named Kanagaki Robun published a book of art depicting the American Revolutionary War, and I just found out about this thing today.

And I know that it's been talked about on Tumblr before because of course it has but I want to talk about it on my blog in my own words because oh my fucking god.

The illustrations are wild.

Like, here's George Washington just fucking punching a tiger:

And then here's a giant snake consuming John Adams' mom:

And the thing is these are real actual images that exist. Made by a real actual person. You can look it up and Google will show you! This is a real thing! And it's so fucking funny to me.

This is the equivalent of an American trying to write a manga with only pieced-together information about Japan whispered to them from the voices in their walls and a whole lot of assumptions.

This is like fanfiction about American presidents.

They gave America a goddess for fuck's sake. It has no fucking right to be this funny.
