Most comic covers have already ditched exposition and teasers in favor of character poses and mid-fight snapshots.

Now this?

C-LPPP?

That’s a fucking cover. It’s a shame that the actual story is probably crazy racist, what with this being a wartime comic featuring an insane man who changed his name to Dynamite Joe.

This is the future of politics, people.

The daily strip is an exercise in the banal, but the editorial cartoons are actually pretty good.

Speak, speak!

To be fair, the right isn’t any better than the left at staying on message.

Regan cut a record for it.

On the recording Reagan states the following about Medicare –

…one of these days you and I are going to spend our sunset years telling our children, and our children’s children, what it once was like in America when men were free.

Medicare is socialist, and takes away the freedom of men.
