Comic #4888: laws-and-sausages
Description
Sure! Here’s the transcription of the comic:
Panel 1: Zach: "Hey geeks, it's Zach. I'm launching a new comic today. Press 'Z' to go to today's regular update. If you don't care, read on or just click this comic to check it out."
Panel 2: Zach: "It's called 'Laws and Sausages.' The idea is to explain how American government works via short comics."
Panel 3: Zach: "Why? Well, if you’re like me, you’ve recently had this experience more than once."
Panel 4: Zach: "Step 1: Anger. A thing has happened in politics and I am angry."
Panel 5: Character: "Wait… did people always do this or is it new and legal? And if so… why?"
Panel 6: Zach: "I want to be angry but I have to do some reading first!"
Panel 7: Zach: "So, I had an idea: A comic that explains American government, but (to the extent possible) doesn’t inject partisanship or personal views."
Panel 8: Zach: "When we do, we identify it and make a case."
Panel 9: Character: "It feels good, okay?"
Panel 10: Zach: "I’m teaming up with my older brother, Greg Weiner, who is a professor of political science and is super old and wears tweed jackets for real in actual real life."
Panel 11: Zach: "Our artist is Dennis Culver, who’s worked for Marvel, Image, and more!"
Panel 12: Character: (raising hand) "Um, excuse me."
Panel 13: Zach: "Every two weeks, we will update with a brief lesson about philosophy of government, history, important literature, case law, stories, and weird trivia."
Panel 14: Zach: "These aren't topical comics, but we are covering a lot of ground. We will come out regularly in the news about the electoral college, impeachment, how to get the attention of your rep, and more."
Panel 15: Zach: "So please, give it a click and let us know what you think. Your reading will help shape the comic!"
Panel 16: Zach: "Oh, and if you think we've said something stupid in the comic, help us to find a scholar who will be willing to rebut us. We're working to have interesting 'guest lecturers' and would welcome some help!"
Panel 17: Zach: "Thanks, geeks!"
Panel 18: Zach: (pointing) "Cat's safe… click!"
