This is so dumb. A wee bit funny, but mostly dumb. No, scratch that -- it's dumb.

Beautiful political satire in the finest tradition of Mad Magazine. Chris Daly sycophants will be howling with displeasure. Well done, Matt.

Don't you all think that a rant about political violence is a bit out of place during pride week, as we've just honored Harvey Milk at City Hall?

How is it going over there raising cash to fund that appeal bond? I hear Rupert Murdoch is wealthy.

This is VERY funny. I see the creative juices are still flowing at the Weekly.

I would, however, have made Daly and Mirkarimi into high priests of political piety -- piety being their chief trait. I would've had them holding secret meetings with their black-robed pharisees in the Temple of Progressivism. But anyhow, very, very well done! And I hope to see more comics like this in the future.

These would be great if only Matt knew how to draw, and could write. Otherwise they are just boring. But I guess this is what passes for creative at VVM these days.

Piss on the electeds all you like - but try taking some comic drawing classes and maybe do some work reading about how to write good satire, THEN jam up pages of the (crippled by a lawsuit from the hippies) Weekly with this.

Oh but I guess because you're so clever, Matt, this IS great. Whatever.

Funny. Very Funny. The simplicty of the drawing just added to the sincerity. Thank you Matt.
