What's up with the Jupiter and Saturn beams?

Luckily Ben doesn't just label everything he also writes a big post explaining his weird horny comics. He says Jupiter and Saturn aligned are the "Christmas Star". https://grrrgraphics.com/the-christmas-tree-of-liberty/

Whoa I didn't know he wrote these, thanks! His explanation raises more questions than it answers though...

Too bad this wasn't a Kelly with a :SickoStar:

Jupiter overthrew Saturn and Saturn is associated with death??? No idea, this was a notably weird one from Ben Garrison a while back.

This was made around December 2020 during the "Great Saturn and Jupiter Conjunction". From the perspective of the Earth, they had gotten so close together in the sky that they appeared to the naked eye as a single object. Apparently that's called the Christmas Star, and the last time they had gotten that close was 800 years ago.

As for what allegorical purpose they are filling by being in this cartoon, I have no idea.
