Hey. Hey, call me crazy, but I get the feeling that Ennis is heavily lampshading the idea that GW Bush's elections were rigged and everyone else made his decisions for him.

I'm also getting just the faintest whiff of a hint of an implication that September 11th might not have been an Al Qaeda plan... but y'know, nothing overt.

[filthysize]

The comic specifically says that it was not a conspiracy.

[starwolf_oakley]

Yes. It seems Vic the VP knew *something* was going to happen, but not exactly what and when. And, as everyone keeps saying, the president was supposed to be in Florida that day.

[filthysize]

Right. And it's not like Ennis made that up. The 9/11 Commission investigation found out that the CIA knew that Bin Laden was planning an attack and briefed the White House that summer, but the Bush Administration decided not to act on it.

...Is the VP incapable of standing in any other pose?

[icon_uk]

Given his rather odd looking bodily proportions, probably not.

Okay, i am no expert, but when the VP, or even the president attacks someone with a fire extinguisher and repeats the same thing over and over as if he was possesed and unable to make a sane judgement, they would not be doing what he......... oh, right... Maduro...

[thezmage]

Ahh, but you see, no one actually SAW him hit the president with the fire extinguisher. Surely nobody could put those clues together in time to do anything about it.

About half of them were Vought-American people, right? You can expect those guys to be as stupid as they need to be for Vic to get away with it.

Anyway, the misuse of "discrete" in this comic actually really irritates me. I know it's incredibly petty and nit-picky, but...ugh.

I don't know why, but it always weirds me out when they write out the year like on the last page. That's my contribution to this. Oh, and the coloring, with the overly shiny, makes me think they're made of fudge, or nougat, or something.
