Presidenting is Hard

RentAThug on April 21, 2007

This is the introduction of the President of Zinkland and Alienov. Alienov's inclusion was an on-the-fly thing while I was drawing the episode, since he wasn't in the original Frank Baron strips, but the more I develop later material the more he shows up, so I thought I'd introduce him early. The phone conversation also gave me an excuse to write more stuff for the President, who I love to write dialogue for.

The President has developed a lot since the original stuff as well, where he was pretty much a George Bush parody and not much more. He's maintained his position as one of my favourite characters to write. I can't quite put my finger on why that is.

Enjoy the comic, folks!
