Why is the pig trying to sell honest citizens on cheaper bacon as an alternative to history? is it trump? does “he it advertizing that it will fry and give away part of itself or it’s group” a metaphor for “trump makes unrealistic claims, especially given his political allegiance to himself and his group”? Do you think this is Animal Farm-related?

    If this is your first Kelly comic, I can get how one would read too hard into “honest citizens”. It’s really a catch-all for who the faux-artist considers to be the protagonist. For whom the statue of Liberty will ALWAYS be crying either in joy or sorry.

    The choice is between a grand vision of the USA and its role in the world, and a superficial short-term promise that will have no significance in a historical context.

      The Stan Kelly hook here is that the grand vision is also superficial bullshit that the Democrats can’t and won’t deliver on.
