Season of Lies

This strip started out when I was thinking that I am already tired of campaign ads on TV. They attack their opponents. Both sides throw out half-untruths so they are legally safe, but the same claim could probably be leveled against themselves. However, when we see commercials for Survivor, the lies are expected and even anticipated. True, the Survivor winner impacts my life usually less than a political winner, but we still like the drama. I think this is the 21st season.

I decided to have Mr. Green respond in a personal manner rather than try to use his comments to lead the reader toward the obvious conclusion of political ads.
