TRANSCRIPT: This is the text of the comic, for purposes such as translation and internet searches.
1.)
(A title panel - the whole comic is in the format of a Sunday edition of a daily comic, but in black and white with splashes of orange. We see
the animal avatars for the U.S. political parties, the donkey of Democrats and the elephant of Republicans. The donkey has text on the side
spelling out what it represents in the context of this comic, as has been the noble tradition of political comics in American news media for
maybe too long. The elephant displays distaste for the donkey and what he brings.)
