Description

Here’s a transcription of the text from the comic:

Panel 1: "Economists noticed an interesting trend. Gay couples tend to not have children. So, they spend more money improving their local environment."

Panel 2: "THE PATH WAS CLEAR. If we can get each community to be a little gayer, the standard of living will increase for everyone."

Panel 3: "THE UNLIKELY POSSIBILITY WAS TURNED INTO A POLITICAL CRISIS. 'For too long, under-redeveloped communities have been left to languish in poverty. When I walk down any street in this country, I want to be able to say, “This neighborhood is pretty gay.”'"

Panel 4: "SOON IT BECAME AN INTERNATIONAL ISSUE. 'Only one in ten children will grow up to be gay! We are being massively outgayed by Holland, Belgium, and the United Kingdom.'"

Panel 5: "AND THE PATRIOTIC BECAME THE MANDATORY. 'All boys and girls will receive a free hormone injection. Do it for Uncle Sam, and his partner, Uncle Dan.'"

Panel 6: "ECONOMISTS TRIED TO REVERSE THE TIDE. 'Mr. President, we have more data. Hormones don’t work, and gay people spend differently, but not more.'"

Panel 7: "'So… my 'Gay New Deal'… won’t work.'"

Panel 8: "'WE HAD HOPED TO CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER. According to our analysis, no gay nation has ever made war upon another gay nation.'"

Panel 9: "BUT WE HAD JUST GIVEN IT ONE MORE RESOURCE TO FIGHT OVER. 'This morning, Japan invaded San Francisco. Let there be no doubt as to their aim. May God have mercy on our gays.'"

This structure reflects the content of the panels, capturing the dialogue and narrative flow.
