Three panel comic.
Panel 1: Genghis khan is sitting in a throne room. His advisor enters with a fruity drink in hand. The advisor proclaims, “Genghis Khan! I bring a gift from a faraway land!”
Panel 2: he continues, “a ‘strawberry margarita.’” Genghis takes a delicate yet generous sip.
Panel 3: Genghis and his advisor exchange smiles. Genghis says, “yeeooo that’s fire”


It is funny to imagine Genghis Khan both drinking a margarita and responding like a bro.
Somehow I don’t like it. Basically we paint the big warmongers of the past as “bro” instead of remembering that those “great people” were just lunatics and murderers that brought death and misery to many.
They may have been lunatics but they’re dead and they can’t stop us from laughing at them.
