The only problem with this comic is that it could have been written non-satirically by a conservative without changing a word.
That problem is the same I’ve faced talking to people. They distrust science and anything that disagrees with what they have been told by trusted people in their tribes (often church). That’s what makes this message effective.
That’s the whole schtick with faith: it’s belief without evidence, by definition.
Anyone prepared to have faith in anything is ripe for exploitation, by anyone.
Churchies self-select for exploitation.
Belief without evidence is a powerful tool when used correctly.
When drag first met drag’s dragon several years ago, it suffered from crippling depression. Couldn’t work a job, couldn’t clean its house. Couldn’t even maintain most of its friendships because it had no motivation to do anything. All the evidence it had available said that things would keep on getting worse until it killed itself. It didn’t have any good reason to believe it could ever be healthy.
Drag told it, fuck the evidence. Every day we spend hours together. We read books, watch movies, play games, and discuss politics, philosophy, and the arts. Drag tries to push it a little further than it’s comfortable with each day. Drag tells it not to give in to despair, no matter how likely its fears seem.
Belief without evidence saved its life.
You will be able to see the point of this comic as it flies over their heads.
It flies over heads because its a political fiction that people don’t find consistent with reality.
People like this go on dates, get laid, get married, get divorced, go on more dates, and get married again all the time.
Their spouses vote Republican. Their kids vote Republican. Their friends and neighbors vote Republican. They all move to big conservative retirement communities and vote Republican together forever until they die.
This idea that rich fucks with big families don’t live happily in their big homes all prattling on about how much better they are than everyone else is painfully naive

Wooooosh (for them, not your comment).
Faze, not phase
I would like this comic redrawn, but shifting around this being phase instead of faze. I bet that would be fun, too.
Is this drawn by the same people who drew the Clerks animated series on ABC like 25 years ago? Damn show only aired 2 episodes, but eventually released all 6 produced episodes on dvd later.
And, even though the animated show was in color, this comic is in true clerks style…black and white.
But, to be fair, Dante would NEVER vote for trump, Randal wouldn’t vote, and Jay & Silent Bob would have just been in jail by 2024.
Who is driving? Bear is driving!
Right? That was my first thought when I saw this, I thought that was Dante and Randall.
