Written and drawn over ten years ago, this comic is depressingly prescient.  It's obvious to me that our leaders have probably never had our best interests in mind.  Maybe they thought they did/think they do, but the reality is that, if you never take a step outside of your own perspective (imagine life in someone else's shoes), you can't possibly have someone else's interests at heart.  And rich white guys are notoriously bad at imagining themselves in other people's shoes.  Just think about how long slavery went on.  :/

The question now is: what do we do about our leaders not actually having our interests at heart?

If you like what I do with this comic or anything else online, support me on Patreon (for just a buck-a-month if you want!) or buy my long-form comic, INKSTREME BALLPOINT ADVENTURES, or just buy me a coffee!  Every bit helps!
