Yet another brilliant installment! Still a bit different and unorthadox, but much more organized and tightly plotted. I really like the way the panels were layed out. It allows for a myruac of images! The rhyme scheme for the "narration" is complemented nicely by the comments from each the individual characters. I really do like Mao now, and hope he becomes a semi-regular at least! And Karl Marx puzzling ("A... political struggle?") was another highlight (certainly pays to read the forum, though.)

Really, I thought that Bot was't getting enough screen time, and it appeared as if that was almost acknowledged in the cartoon.

Capital work! I even printed the thing out, to hang on my bulletin board!

By the way, since today's strip featured almost the entire cast to date (only Butch and the Bard were missing), have you considered adding a cast page soon, or are you still waiting, in case you add any more characters, or in case you intend to drop a few, or what? Just a suggestion, of course.
