I have a real bone to pick with political cartoonists in that they spend so much time trying to make the perfect casserole that they leave the chicken bones in. Hey, people hate paying taxes, and Mr. Stubenbecher was on the news last night with that controversial floppenberger tax. Let's a comic where he's a communist! Or better yet a NAZI! Sweet, now I have 20 strips drawn, and can go golfing with the guy who does the funny cat comic. Now I'm not about to shout from the hills I'm some artistic paragon of virtue, but I do try to make the anvil jokes as awesome as possible. This ain't Shakespeare, folks, and I ain't trying to be some comic Sun Tzu. I'm just saying I care. Although, I can sometimes be caught carrying a genius card. It's just a conversation piece. One side note to this strip is that I grabbed a political cartoon from a newspaper just to get a feel for that particular brand of crazy. Try to hatch like that gave me a headache as if I had awoken from a night of binge drinking 1990's image comics. Okay, now my soapbox is going away, I swear.
