Description

Sure! Here’s a detailed, disability-friendly description and transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: A politician stands behind a podium, gesturing with his right hand. He has short dark hair and a serious expression. A diverse crowd is visible in the background, including people of various skin tones and hairstyles, some looking attentive and some surprised. The politician says: "Okay, listen. I know you citizens are sick of politicians peddling lies and platitudes. Well, so am I. It’s time I give you the truth."

Panel 2: The scene changes, focusing on the politician as he continues to speak, still animated. He says: "When I can take a person – a strong, willful person – and make that person obey my commands… I experience a pleasure that is sensual to the point of being erotic."

Panel 3: The crowd appears surprised and intrigued. Several spectators are shown, including a man with glasses and a woman with curly hair. The politician concludes: "And that is why I am running for president of the United States."

Panel 4: The crowd reacts with enthusiasm, raising their hands and cheering. The politician is shown with open arms, signaling a call to action. He states: "I mean… the system is corrupt and I’m here to clean house!"

A speech bubble in the crowd says: "YAYYYYYY!"

The background shows an audience celebrating and supporting the politician, creating a lively atmosphere.

The comic mixes humor with political commentary, using exaggerated expressions and reactions to emphasize the absurdity of the politician's claims.
