If so, what would it look like?
Is it possible to create an apolitical comic?
Japanese manga
It would look like Jim Woodring's Frank. Too bad you're not going to read it because you're more interested in reposting bait threads instead of actually reading comics.
Every piece of media ever made is political in nature
All art is political
Yes. It can be anything.
Of course it is. There are plenty of apolitical comics, movies, and music.
Even 4'33?
An a political comic would be a comic where nothing happens and no one has an opinion on anything. Your best bet would be something entirely abstract and nonsensical.
Choosing to make your comics apolitical is itself a political choice
Politics influence all aspects of life, so it would be impossible to have media without any politics, as what is media without some form of life?

Bravo TV?
>Japanese manga
You mean Abe's propaganda to get japs to breed
So standard alternative comix.
Yes, it's possible, but why bother though? Most art is infused with its political context, intentionally or unintentionally, just like its affected by time or its author.
Most of it has politics, we're just gaijins and don't see them.
Not if you simply make a comic without considering whether or not to make it political.
Tails Gets Trolled
That's what the politicians say.
Tell me the politics of a comic with a ball bouncing up and down with a black background

why is the background black you racist are you saying racial issues shouldnt be at the forefront
Why did the author choose to depict a man bouncing a ball and not a woman?
No one's bouncing the ball, it's simply bouncing without anything in the image. The ball bouncing up and down is all that's in the panel.
Meant to write blank. Either way you're stretching.
I'm just gonna copy/paste what I said last time someone made this thread:
I won't go as far as to say everything is political. But you can't deny that writers tend to write their own opinions into their stories. For example, Chuck Dixon mostly wrote apolitical adventure stories for characters like Batman, Robin, Nightwing and the Birds of Prey. But occasionally, his own personal opinions did sneak in. The most prominent example would probably be the story where Stephanie Brown gets pregnant. You could argue that her choosing to give the child up to adoption instead of having an abortion is Dixon's pro-life viewpoint being written in to the story. So while I would say it is possible to make apolitical comics, no matter what there is a chance of the author's own personal viewpoints (Political or not) shining through.
You're misinterpreting the issue.
An apolitical comic would look like Heathcliff. Devoid of content or attachment to real life.
You can have a GOOD political comic, which is really what everybody wants.
You can have both because comics are an entertainment medium. You can make something political, something not. You can read something political and only take away apolitical messages from it. Because it's entertainment, not a statement of fact. That's the beauty of fiction.
Not true, you can express political beliefs without consciously doing so. Even if you just depict something you think is normal, what you think of as normal and non-political is shaped by the society you grew up in and its politics.
>Meant to write blank.
So now you're removing the black part of the page, reminiscent of the whitewashing that has gone on for too long in this country.
My bad, I misread it as "a guy bouncing a ball"
That could be successfully argued as an apolitical comic, but it would also be very boring.
Of course not, all art is inherently political
Chuck Dixon is a known white supremacist and this just about proves it.
Trying to subvert the minds of readers, (this was the 90s so kids) with his far right politics.
