Most of his cartoon display [[racism]], [[sexism]], [[islamophobia]], [[Anti-Semitism|anti-semitism]], climate change denial, the [[White genocide conspiracy theory]], and [[Anti-vaxxers|anti-vaccine]] advocacy. Ironically, Garrison once denounced Neo-nazis and the alt-right when he learned that one of his cartoon strips were being edited to display racist imagery. He even went so far as to sue Christopher Poole (also known as moot), the creator of the website 4chan, on which the strip was edited and posted. Unfortunately, he later began embracing the alt right edits within his strips, even going so far as promoting such messages in his later strips. | Most of his cartoon display [[racism]], [[sexism]], [[islamophobia]], [[Anti-Semitism|anti-semitism]], climate change denial, the [[White genocide conspiracy theory]], and [[Anti-vaxxers|anti-vaccine]] advocacy.
