    Panel 2: Where exactly does Mr. Bug intend to stick this giant pipe? Or is it a hose? From over here it looks pretty much like a soldering iron.

      In the Matrix, those go in the back of your head. You should probably watch the movie, as it was pretty good.

        Doesn’t that require the proband to be equipped with one of those neat ports? Or is this just like a rivet around the input so it doesn’t fray?

          This one looks much pointier. It’s probably designed to be stabbed in, whereas the ones in the movie are designed to be (much less painfully) plugged into an implanted socket.

            Sooo… the “connector device” is quite big and really pointy? And the back of the head in question isn’t prepared for that procedure at all?

            I’ll be looking forward to that news title:
            DONALD TRUMP IMPALED BY MORON WHO CLAIMS HE WANTED TO REENACT HIS FAVORITE MOVIE!
            Subtitle: Thank god he’s dead – but that’s a different story.

    Dear Adam:

    In 2000, I could afford to vote off-ticket, since the major-party candidate I was backing was safe in my state, and I held something of a grudge against him that I had just spent eight years wilfully ignoring.

    While I have no particular grudge against any of the candidates in the major party I back in order to “hold the line”, as such, this is also a cycle in which I expect the nominee for that party to be safe in my state; I can, in fact, consider voting off-ticket.

    As such, should I write your name onto the ballot, I might need to ask at some point approximately where you live, so that my vote wouldn’t go to another Adam Huber, say, six states away from where you are. I’ll worry about it then, of course.

    Meanwhile: ¡Adam Huber for President!

    Honestly, this strip is the best idea I’ve heard so far this cycle.

    Thank you kindly, sir.

      If he gets elected then he’ll NEVER publish the comic.
      And if he does publish, then it’ll be at the hand of a ghost-cartoonist and the bugs will come out all weird looking and having , like, six appendages!

      Think it through!

      Texas already build Wall 1.0 and those goombas are pushing for a wall to Canada. Please Please build that wall, we really don’t need all those freeloaders coming north to their Cottages in Kawartha, etc.

    Amazing how only in a cartoon does Trump look life-like, and not… a cartoon.

    Best line IMO: “if someone distracts him with The Bill of Rights…”

        You know you’re full of crap, right? The NSA and fbi broke the laws under Obama’s administration and Trump has been trying to clean it out since.

        Pretty sure you can’t name a single person filing a 4th Amendment lawsuit against the fbi or nsa for anything that took place AFTER 2016.

    Ah yes. Donald trump. did you know Donald Trump becoming president was a joke on the Simpsons long before he ever announced he was running? Just something to keep in mind.

    What? Zombies can have a political agenda to. Not that that has any bearing on my post. Just a thought.

    I’ve been following this comic for a while, and I think this one might be the first “political cartoon,” if I’m not mistaken. It’s fantastic, harkens back to the old days of political cartooning.

    It’s brave! Keep up the good work!

        Ah, you mean the pablum commentary from the hacks – classic GOOD political cartoons never needed such and still don’t but sadly they have a shelf life and need explanations decades latter.

    I have always been jealous of the alternate reality cable tv from Rick and Morty since I saw it.

    But your methods also takes care of Trump, which as a Australian I am still passionate about / mildly concerned for you lot.

    Ouf, I love this! Same about FB not wanting us to show it to others. I’ve been with this series since it started…just haven’t had a real way to comment until recently.

    Keep it up, and stay bold Adam! Until this old clunker of a machine I cobbled together burns out, I’ll be trying to keep up!

      Hi, I’m here from the future (past?) and it’s even worse than we thought. It’s a strange mixture of narcissism, maliciousness, and incompetence. Can I get pulled out the Matrix, please? A lifetime of eating protein snot is better than this.

    Will all of you retarded children please grow up? Not a single one of you has a single reason to rag on Donald Trump. He’s driven ISIS to their knees, doubled the DOW, is in talks with North Korea for the first time since 1953 – he’s a damn site better than Obama ever was.

    Adam, this is your webcomic and you can do whatever you want with it. However, I’m sick of being called racist and bigoted for being a Trump supporter and wanting my country to excel. If this is what you’re going to turn your comic into then I’m not interested in continuing to read it. If I want ignorant political commentary that insults me I’ll watch Saturday Night Live.

      I can rag on him, he increased my taxes.

      Your fact-free zone is showing. ISIS was on their way out already. Obama tried to talk to North Korea, and Republicans attacked him for not insisting NK give up their nuclear weapons in exchange for the talks. As far as the Dow goes, you’re not in the same reality as everyone else:

      Trump inaugural (Jan 20th, 2017): 19732.40 [Double would be: 39,464.80]
      Today (Apr 4th, 2018): 24264.30
      Percentage increase from Inauguration: 22.97%

      Obama Inaugural (Jan 20th, 2009): 7,949.09 [Double would be: 15,898.18]
      Obama’s Last Day/Trump Inaugural (Jan 20th, 2017): 19,732.40
      Percentage increase from Inauguration: 148.23%

      Also, you realize this comic is from January 2016, right? Before Trump was elected?

    so, how’s it feel to have an actually incompetent president, rather than a perfectly competent and sane individual that you were manipulated into hating by a media that despises you? stinks, doesn’t it? don’t call it a grave, it’s the future you chose.

      I’m pretty sure most people who hated Trump is a lot happier with the current administration than you are. Mostly because that’s pretty much always the case when governance switches parties. It’s almost like their opinions are different from yours!
