Hate to ruin the joke but the swastika symbols are actually already exist long before the nazi party decided to use it as their symbol (the earliest was made in around 10,000 BC). The Swastika itself means “To be good.”
I post this because I feel bad for many people and religions who still use the symbol extensively back then and now. The Hindus, Buddhists and Jainists still use it and display it at their home and temples.
The swastika bit doesn’t bug me as much as imagining how Charlie Chaplain got burned. The guy actually managed to come up with a unique style of mustache only to have it forever associated with Hitler.
Thanks to you, vertigo… I just spent the last 8 hours reading up on Hitler, Chaplin and the Third Reich….
Did you know that all of Joseph Goebbels’ children were all named with an ‘H’…. and he killed them all – except Harald… I know too much about Nazi stuff, now…
Every advice columnist since, though, would get a boost. Sure, they might be bad, but at least they’re not hitler.
I’m pretty sure he’s not an advice columnist, he’s writing to an advice columnist.
that bug hitler moustache makes him look just a wee bit like darth vader.
I like how his typewriter font looks more like handwriting than bug’s speech. You got some classy drawing hands mist Adam.

Why would that ruin the joke? I’d say the swastikas were properly contextualized here – I for one realized in time that Hitler was not a Hindu.
It’s a pity really. Because even without an explicit context set, many would assume neo-nazism than just a good old symbol in Hinduism.

Chaplin and Hitler were born just 4 days apart. I just looked it up because of your comment.
I didn’t expect that.

Dis is goed ja?
“Das ist gut, ja?” [unless you’re being “funny”] – just so you know.
(Unrelated but, good: ‘Du bist mir shiszen?’ = “You’re [pooping] me?” and its equivalent.)
Jew mad, Adam?
Franz Liebkind: Der Führer does not say, “Achtung, baby.”
That was the name of a 1991 U2 album
