The grand Donald Trump Administration transition-to-the-White-House is underway. Trump already seems to be running his Administration like a business, a very chaotic business filled with nepotism and infighting, but a business nonetheless. Since Republicans and Democrats are equally dazed for varying reasons, I thought it’s high time we check in with Dogboy and Mr. Dan.
The election is rigged until it’s not, lobbyists are evil until you hire them and a media echo chamber is bad, unless you agree with what it’s saying. It’s too early to tell if the Trump Administration is a tremendous force of evil that will wreak havoc on the land or if it’s a group of bumbling nutballs who will have a hard time opening up their shop of horrors.

Ugh, what a week. If you want to support independent cartooning at this uncertain moment, please consider joining Sparky’s List, and/or checking out the new book. And hang in there.
Wha’ happened? What an awful, strange, crazy, mind-boggling election. Am I missing something, or did we just elect a real estate developer/reality show star who campaigned on xenophobia, racism and bullying while recorded evidence (and scores of accusers) revealed a history of sexual assault?
The Trump victory drives home the fact that there are, oh, sixty million or so people who support this guy. We might have had a better idea this was about to happen (or been able to do something to prevent it) if we interacted with the red side of ‘Muricah more than we listen to Nate Silver. (By “we” I mean “me” and many of my bubble-inhabiting friends and family.) I’ll let the cartoon do the rest of the talking, and remember, you can support my work and join me behind-the-scenes on my Patreon page.
