That
Smarts.
 I think
if I
was a little smarter, or a lot sleazier,
I could have convinced more people
to support this web-toon via Patreon's
micro-payments through the simple expediency
of crafting
comics
that
pandered to, shall we say, baser instincts.
By that I mean comics
featuring co-eds with bare-midriffs, or
cute puppies, or dick jokes, or painful
punnery. You know... entertaining comics.
The kind only those other, properly-nourished
cartoonists make.
But, no, I decided to go with abortion, atheism,
the death penalty and (YUCKO!) the GOP's intransigence
because, while Patreon will inevitably be purchased
and ruined by Amazon of Facebook, these cartoons
will be here forever
and I'm darned proud of 'em.
And now, here's Stephen
Colbert.
-----------
If we're going to have state-sponsored
murder I think we ought to be able to watch. We
need to actually see how our government executes
prisoners instead of just being assured that
everything behind the curtain is hunky-dory. I
don't mean prime-time on Comedy Channel or
ESPN but somewhere WAY down the cable-box dial,
down
near
Al Jazeera. Right before kick-off on Sunday would
be best as it'd get me in the mood for the REAL
mayhem to come.
Oh, and
bring the kids. Murder is natural if done tastefully
enough. Don't you think?
Furthermore, I think the condemned
should
have creative input in how they meet their maker.
Give them a hundred-thousand dollar budget and
say "Go nuts!", then sell commercial
time so that tax-payers won't get cranky. No
doubt we'll need editorial oversight lest the
process involve strippers, wood-chippers, Ronald
McDonald
or a combination of all three but it'd totally
obviate
the "cruel and unusual" part
of
the 8th
Amendment if some guy decides on his own to be
trampled lifeless by the Swedish Bikini Team
and then fed to wolverines.
