No partisan politics here. Just a big axe to grind.
I’m not sure how many people will even know the Teddy Roosevelt quote that his is based on. Do they even teach things like this in school anymore?

Some people will be upset that I’m bringing politics into Last Kiss. But I actually wrote this comic and published it first at least a dozen years ago. The only change is that I now label the politician as an “incumbent.”
You can interpret that any way you want.
Oh, screw that. I think Donald Trump is a liar and a monster. Vote Biden.
