The coming elections.

As you know well by now, there are two serious contenders for the position of president during the upcoming elections:

Max and Cthulu.

I suggest that, though Cthulu definitely has a catchy slogan ("Why settle for the lesser evil?") and has a platform that covers all contingencies ("destroy everything"), he has not performed well in the polls. I believe this is primarily due to his unwillingness to give interviews or do much of anything that doesn't involve his island in the South Pacific.

Max, short-sighted though he may be, has been forthright in his stance ("What are 'tax dollars'?") and has the advantage of having been in the public eye*. I think Max would be a far more entertaining president. I'm not sure that Cthulu, as old as he is, would serve a whole term. I'm certain that we couldn't have him for two.

There you have it: My political views on this important topic. Of course, a late-comer to the races, Robin Williams, might have a shot.


*In the course of this research I discovered that one of my Sam and Max comics is going for a few hundred. It's about to be reprinted, though. A quick ebay search suggests that the market has dried up. Go figure.
