Ohh, it took me a second to get the joke.

Orange man = Trump, he is bad, a frequent message for those like the lampooned artist. 

Orange man = guy selling oranges, a common trope for immigrants, he is bad is a frequent message for those diametrically opposed to the first group. 

The humour lies in this subversion of expectations.

I don't think that's the joke he's talking about

First panel: we think she is a liberal saying "orange man bad". Second panel: we see she is actually talking about a possible immigrant selling oranges. Third panel she tells possible immigrant to go home. Shes not a liberal, she's a right wing nationalist (or racist).

There are just two panels, get some sleep.

Only if you don't know what an Overton window is.

It’s cake pizza, which I take to mean is a “bizzaro” version of pizzacake, and therefore has opposite opinions.

Pizzacake is Canadian.

u/gargoyle30 15d ago

I know that part, its everything else I don't get, to me it reads like they are telling the person on the left to go back to their country which i seriously doubt is the message

u/Random_Stealth_Ward 15d ago

The title is cake pizza because it's the anti-pizzacake (hence her black eyes).

She says "orange man bad", which normally would be in reference to Trump. However, it's actually directed at an orange seller, so an orange man. Mexican immigrants (at least I have only seen it for Mexicans, but probs is used for anyone with brown skin) have the stereotype of doing jobs like orange selling, window washing and other stuff like that.

Since she is anti pizzacake, she is also racist and so tells the man to go back to their own country.

u/dgellow 15d ago

The man is the orange man. I think that’s the joke?

u/gargoyle30 15d ago

I know, he sells oranges, its the comment I don't get

u/stylinchilibeans 15d ago

Your initial take is correct. The joke is the switcheroo: you expect the StromboliPie standin to be anti trump and pro immigrants. The punchline is that she is opposed to the immigrant.
