Wait. So they're not some right wing pundit?

It's more like the Colbert Report back in the day, an exaggerated right winger who is so obviously wrong it's funny.

The character "Kelly" isn't explicitly right wing, instead he's supposed to be as wrong as possible. As an example rather than "Pro-choice" or "Pro-life" Kelly is "Pro-abortion", because he hates children and thinks they should be aborted before they have a chance to destroy their parents lives. Or the comic where Kelly opposed drug legalization... because police dramas wouldn't have anything write about.

Oddly, Kelly's "wrong as possible" stance does seem to frequently align with right wing politics, for some reason.

My favorites are the ones where he’s dedicating a whole comic to some petty personal grievance, like a grocery store being out of a product he had a coupon for.
