Description

In the comic, there are two characters engaged in a conversation:

1. The character on the left is speaking in a serious tone:
   • "Lasers take too much chemical fuel per shot to be worth it, kinetic weapons require too many satellites to be able to target quickly, and missiles in space aren’t really better than missiles on the ground. Oh, and deflecting asteroids is expensive, risky, easy to detect, and probably kills everyone. And all of this was true when you asked me yesterday and the day before. Now can we PLEASE talk about the budget instead of space weapons?"
2. The character on the right responds:
   • "I DON’T WANNA!"

At the bottom of the comic, there is an additional text:

• "This is why I shouldn’t be president."
