1. Good strip. although a strange one for Parker and Hart to run |
|
given that the political bias of the strip under Johnny "bloodsoaked Crucifixion imagery in your Sunday funnies, that's me" Hart was solidly pro-Republican and would, in his lifetime, have pretty much ENDORSED what the King does in this one.

2. I doubt they would have run with that one if Bush or McCain was in office. |

4. They'd have had a lot of them about abortion or making snide comments about "welfare", though |
|
Johnny Hart always struck me as the sort of "Christian" who, back in the day, would've shouted for Barabbas.

3. Yes, but isn't that exactly the Republican party line? |

5. Well, yeah, but they're pretending they're against it in this strip |
|
...or, at least, I thought they were...

6. Parker and Hart are both dead. They strips are written by committee. |

7. Or, they've had their Second Coming..... |
|
:eyes:
I knew Hart had croaked, I'd forgotten Parker died right after.
Sad thing is, before Hart "got religion", I usually LIKED B.C.
