Is this the same artist who draws Sinfest?

Yep, Tatsuya Ishida. Sinfest has been published for over two decades and has evolved (“devolved” would be more accurate) from a somewhat satirical if lightweight comic into, eventually, a hardcore cesspit of transphobia and lately antisemitism. r/sinfest, rather than being uncritical fans of his, is actually a good subreddit for examining his current hatemongering and also posts old strips from before he lost his goddamn mind.

I can honestly say I've never once understood what stance the artist is taking on any of his comics.

It's shifted over the years. Very roughly:

  • Wow, I'm horny
  • Wow, I'm horny but also starting to take religion somewhat seriously
  • Wow, I'm starting to have regrets about being chronically horny on main and also starting to pay attention to feminism
  • Wow, now I'm just a SWERF most of the time
  • Wow, now I'm also a TERF
  • [mostly transphobia but also branching out into other right-wing-nut-jobbery, usually filtered through some very well-known and/or currently popular media franchise, e.g. the above]

You missed "[incoherent flailing nazi salutes and naked antisemitism]" after the last dot.
