V.P. Debate Preview

Read the comic on Patreon.

There are probably a dozen undecided voters whose fickle minds will be decided by Tuesday’s vice presidential debate. For everyone else, it will be a chance to goof on J.D. Vance some more.

Nothing Republicans have thrown at Tim Walz in return has stuck. He just comes across as a normal nice white guy, whose mere existence makes the weird and evil white guys look even worse by comparison.

Republican Stuntman Confronts His Fears

Read the comic on Patreon.

Republicans’ cruelty, greed, and ineptitude have been covered for years, with Tim Walz recently putting their weirdness in the national spotlight. But as the great political analyst Yoda once said, all this behavior originates from fear.

They are scaredy cats, whipping up their base of terrified suburbanites over imagined threats in order to win elections they know they can’t win on the merits. It would be one thing if they stayed in the bunkers while the rest of us live our lives, but they won’t rest until everyone’s as miserable as them.

I’d feel like I’m dating myself by referencing Evel Knievel or Super Dave, but Hot Rod came out this century, so I’m clinging to relevancy among the youths.

Meet the Election Animals

Read the comic on Patreon.

With less than two months until the election, “Shut up and vote!” season is in full swing. Any legitimate criticism of the Harris campaign will be met with shrieks of “Why do you want to Trump to win?!”

The campaign managed the transition on such a short timeframe very well, except for Harris’s abysmal handling the current administration’s (which she’s a part of!) handling of the nearly year-long genocide in Gaza. Atrocities keep being revealed and met with shrugs. Not having a single Palestinian speak at the DNC was certainly a choice. Maybe ignoring them is the best political strategy, but it’s not the moral one.

Not that I’m some brave truth-teller. I could’ve done a whole cartoon about it instead of hedging my bets with only one panel tucked into the middle of a comic.

Trump Campaign Events

Read the comic on Patreon.

The week after Labor Day is usually when campaigns really kick off, but Trump isn’t doing anything until Saturday. Even Biden has done more campaign events, and he ostensibly withdrew from the race because he couldn’t keep pace with Trump.

This won’t be all presidential election stuff for the next eight weeks (plus additional time for coup attempts), but I took a long weekend and was slow to catch up on anything else this week. Unless something incredibly riffable happens at next week’s debate, I’ll probably do something about our other ongoing disasters to give my sense of dread something else to chew on for a while.
