Angriest Rice Cooker Director’s Cut 52–On the geometry of politics

I like this one as an example of a non-political comic inspired by something political. Even though the comic references George W. Bush (and makes a far-from-timely reference about him), I don’t think you could determine from this any particular political viewpoint. I kind of like that.

I think part of the origin of this one comes from when I was in high school and the “axis of evil” thing was a lot more timely. All of my friends worked on the school newspaper and came up with funny stuff for the paper. When the “axis of evil” was in the news, they came up with an idea of “The Original Axis of Evil,” which became a brilliant cartoon/illustration in the paper. I don’t quite remember all of the characters they came up with, but I remember the list included Moby Dick, Caligula, Hitler’s Ghost, Gary Oldman as Sid Vicious, and Bizarro Mother Teresa. Anyway, that was probably buried somewhere in the ol’ subconscious when I came up with this one.

Several years ago, George W. Bush labeled several countries an “axis of evil.” Great. Now we all have to learn geometry.
