This comic honestly scares me, probably because I could easily imagine myself in that situation.
I do love black humor though: the practice was so horrible thay were told to go kill themselves.
Everytime I look at the comic I pick up on another little detail thats makes it hit harder, the most important one being how gaunt all the players were.
The player on the far left, the one that is covering his mouth? Looking at him makes me think that you drew him with a non-Auschwitz comic in mind, before you realized the comedic plutonium that the 'hit the showers' phrase gave you. (That guy is definatively not 'gaunt')
Offensive comics are a good thing, because they act as an unforgettable reminder of the dark side of humanity. The reader laughs at the comic because it is somehow funny, before he looks for the actual joke, yet when he finds what the joke really is he is horrified/surprised/besmirched(maybe? I just like that word), yet the humorous aspect logsd into the reader's memory much like a famous quote from a movie or an awesome Chuck Norris joke.

This is disgusting, there will never be an appropriate time for this humor. Yeah, some of you're shit's funny, and perhaps you have potential. References to Auschwitz are only beneficial as a reminder of the biggest lapse of humanity in history, and should only be used as a note of respect for those who died and a promise on behalf of society never to make the same mistake. Not only you, but obviously those to whom you cater to need to grow up. Go to Auschwitz, see the piles of human hair and narrow bunkers in which people were forced to sleep. Pay your respects then see if you can lower yourself to this sort of dark humor. For those who don't get it, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz , know your shit. Ignorance is correctable, but this lack of social consciousness, this apathy, is criminal.

That was the worst comic i've ever read. Hitler would smack you and tell you to draw better shit.
Uncool

Fucking hilarious.

I don't get it.
Above and beyond fucked up. But that is how I like it.
Good stuff.

I laughed and cringed at the same time.

Appreciate the kind words 'ARoziere' and believe me the whole purpose of this piece was only to remind of the biggest lapse of humanity in history.
