Inspired by MichaelMoore.com, CNN, The Village Voice, and Caroline Mitgang.


I was apprehensive, at first, about publishing this comic. I didn’t want to appear too insensitive or trivialize such a horrible tragedy. However, after watching the news — especially the angry remarks from the New Orleans mayor — and reading up on some stuff on the web, I felt compelled to criticize the government’s apparent apathetic reaction.I’m trying to see all of this on an objective level, despite my liberal point-of-views. Yes, this was a tremendous catastrophe that would have happened even if we were prepared and no, Bush had no way of stopping the hurricane; it’s fucking mother nature. Nevertheless, the government’s way of handling the aftermath of Katrina was incredibly idiotic and disgusting. I sympathize with the New Orlean residents’ anger, sadness, and resentment.

Bananarama.


The site was indeed temporary…

How would it feel going to your own reasonably priced funeral anyway?

Reincarnation.


I suppose one of the worst things to get reincarnated as is a food product. You spoil pretty easily, but in retrospect, if you’re a fast food product, there’s enough artificial preservatives to keep you going for a long time.

Life’s a Bitch.


I’m sorry, but everyone knows Kentucky Fried Chicken is delicious. And seriously, who doesn’t use the couch cushions as a makeshift napkin?

A Pope Comic.


I wonder if there really was a line to heaven, would certain people get precedence?

To you, JP2…

How Bush’s Re-Election Impacted The IM Community.


After the election, I was not at all surprised that a lot of people on my buddy list posted their reactions on their away messages. My friend Nicole (who plays Death) had on her away message: “everybody just cool out. i’m sure bush is really upset you’re being mean to him in your AWAY MESSAGE.”

Mike and Trick-Or-Treaters.


Two questions: do children ever go trick-or-treating around UIUC? And why does everyone seem to own that damned Belushi poster?
