the death of the author
Yeah, I still don’t understand what politics I’ve managed to imply in this strip. I’d really like to know, so I know which organizations I need to send letters of apology to. All I do know is that I like seeing my characters get shown up, and José Bond is already more of a debonair badass in three panels than his British counterpart has managed in like 20 movies.
It has come to my attention that I should clearly spell out my position on U.S. immigration, which is that I wholeheartedly support the Reconquista and it should hurry up and get a move on while Castro still lives. The only caveat is that the Mexican government pretty much sucks, so the reclaimed territory should form its own independent state, which I submit should be christened “Chupalo-Tejanos” (I believe this to mean “Suck It, Texans,” though if it is ruder than that, cool). It would then immediately adopt a Lula-style socialist government (Chavez also sucks) and implement national healthcare. In turn, the sheer quantity of coronaries this turn of events would incur stateside would have the salutary effect of stabilizing the U.S. health system in time to save me from dying of cholera or something ten years from now. This is my plan, and I am submitting it to the Obama presidential committee for consideration. Wish me luck!
