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.

MILDRED: Given my obvious moral and gender superiority, I have no choice…but to accept my destiny and run for president!
CAPTION: There is, however, one huge obstacle to Mildred’s candidacy!
MILDRED: I’m the best looking, best smelling and best brained candidate! But once voters find out I read comics…will they still vote for me?

Inksplat or Natsplat?
Oops. It was supposed to be “Inksplat.” I just changed it and uploaded a corrected image. Thanks for pointing that out, Søren!!!
Do people run for office to receive validation from strangers?
If she wants validation from strangers perhaps OnlyFans is a backup plan if she doesn’t get elected.
We’re with you ( and Kamala) 100%!
We’re a tiny blue dot in the completely red South Western Tennessee, and we voted yesterday!
You forgot treason.

He tried to list everything #45 has done, but posts have a length limit…
He’s a 78 year old baby that bitches and complains when he doesn’t get his way.
Think about this…
Donald Tramp had two (TWO!) assassination attempts against him, and Kamala Harris hasn’t even been heckled during any of her rallies!
I think that speaks volumes about each candidate!
VOTE BLUE!
Apparently the attempts were by members of his own party, but true to form they are trying to blame the Democrats.
If he IS a billionaire. Considering the valuation fraud on taxes and bank loans, Trump U. and a children’s cancer charity, the multiple bankruptcies, the “here are my taxes” show with what seemed to be blank reams of paper in unlabeled file folders, the interest in being able to pardon himself, and on and on and on, what evidence is there that it’s not just smoke, mirrors and a house of cards?
