The metacartoonist returns to the fount of all humor: politics. The fact that this episode is largely a template copy of the last is
itself a subtle jab at web comics, a softly understated jab at the genre, and to imagine that this was anything less than fully and
intensionally planned would be to fall into the trap of accepting the surface explanation at the cost of the deeper humor that truly
savvy readers would take as a matter of course.
