Mildred Inksplat, Part 2

by John | Oct 17, 2024 | Blog

This is an adaption of a Comics Buyer’s Guide cartoon I did back in 2004. It appears here in color for the first time and with a new opening caption and some minor edits. Obviously, this was years before either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump were running for office and it has no direct bearing on the current election.

That Said, Here’s What I think about the Election

Even though I’m keeping partisanship out of my actual Last Kiss comics, I’m going to use this blog for the first time to endorse a candidate. Kamala Harris has my full support for president. She started her career as a prosecuting attorney, went on to become Attorney General of California and then a U.S. Senator and currently is, of course, Vice President. She has the experience, intelligence, temperament, vigor and judgement to be an outstanding President.

In the short time since she was thrown into the presidential race, she has come up with many commonsense plans that will benefit middle (and lower) class Americans.

In contrast, the twice-impeached, 34-times-convicted, 78-year-old Donald Trump has a long history of racism, sexism, multiple business bankruptcies and seems far more interested in lowering taxes for billionaires like himself than helping common Americans. To top it all off, he has actually bragged about wanting to be a dictator and says he may send the military to go after any Americans who disagree with him. To me, the choice is clear.
