    Right before they get to celebrate, SandwichCorp rushes to sue them for a made-up reason to prevent their business from getting destroyed by a machine that gives starving people sandwiches.

    Huh? No, he would be employed at subway, in a factory making sandwiches for all the world. Imagine the profit if they could fire all the employees. World hunger can be solved another day

    I really don’t get the people who think this is a Fascist cartoon, of that it’s a cutsey version of Stonetoss.

    This isn’t even the first comic they’ve had expressing hope for world peace, ending hunger, or stopping climate change… Yep people think it’s fascist.

        Or this one: https://lemmy.world/post/35721692 (more in comments of this post)

        But yeah the messages of comics overall are mixed. Some have a really nice message and some… Not at all the way they come across. I think OP probably needs a break.

          whoa that one is like 4000% worse than the others. Jesus. they’re not all bad though, just wildly inconsistent. it’s giving radical centrism.

          It’s a joke that a democracy of the whole universe would be painfully slow/inefficient… I think that’s the entire joke (hence the protagonist saying"you inefficient mad man).

          …maybe you need to take a break from comics of you’re misreading them so easily.

            Honestly, if it were published 10 years ago, I’d agree with you. But since it was published literally 2 days ago, it’s at best tone deaf and a bit ignorant or at worst… well, you heard what others have said.

            Thanks for clarifying. Didn’t come across like that to me and many others but due to the artist having mostly wholesome comics I believe you.

    This wouldn’t end world hunger. This is what would happen long before the robot even reaches the floor of the UN:

    • A sandwich company would buy the robot, its design, and its patent, for an incredible amount of money.
    • Making a whole robot is redundant, so they’ll refactor the robot to a significantly more scaled down sandwich printing machine.
    • The sandwiches will be sold for a very high price, much higher than a regular sandwich, as it can be sold as “ethical”; no animals killed for the meat, no land use for the bread and vegetables. Carbon neutral.
    • Company makes HUGE profit margins. World hunger stays the same.

    To end world hunger you don’t need to invent infinite food. You need to end capitalism.
