The comic pictured here is about what makes a “Good ol’ Boy”. This is a very southern ideal and term and my interpretation of it is that it is used to describe southern men or boys who are great “southerners”. In other words, a man or boy who represents everything that is southern would be considered a “Good ol’ Boy”. The comic outlines a bunch of southern generalities that would make someone a qualify to be called a “Good ol’ Boy”. The middle pane that lists a bunch of characteristics is probably the best of the four panes. The other three aren’t as big but the addition one is quite comical.
This southern comic depicts what some people envision the entire south to be like. Contrary to popular belief there are very few southern men that would qualify as a “Good ol’ Boy” if all of these standards must be met. The fact of the matter is this side of the south is not nearly as prevalent as many people think. It has died slowly as the world has become more modernized.
