They Should Read More

The essay

The Trump Administration has taken crazy to new heights. I don’t know if this is because the president is a senile fool or his staff are masters of distraction. There’s a lot going on: the war in Iran, skyrocketing gas prices, social media fights with the Pope. It’s hard to remember the other scandals and horror stories. Remember the Epstein files? ICE marauding through our cities? The files are still unreleased and the DHS invasion continues.

But we here at Sketchier HQ remember. They Should Read More is a call back to an old travesty, but a travesty nonetheless. And the strip is a bit of a fantasy. It would be nice to have the ICE thugs pick on the wrong alien. Of course, if they played less Call of Duty and read more — even comic books — they’d broaden their horizons.
