Oh look, it’s America, the nation of 11-year-old fat kids who lack the intellectual capacity to process anything beyond comic books. Have you heard about the greatest work of cinematic art in history, 300 Explosions With Batman and Joker? It’s the most “mature” of this year’s crop of 500 fucking movies about comic books, according to Critics who haven’t seen a film made for grownups since about 1978, when the last ones were produced.

Exhibit A: President Bush’s posture is great. And Karl Rove has never looked more like Philip Seymour Hoffman. The first chapter inexplicably ceases mentioning the President at all after this panel, possibly because the artists seem scared to draw his face.
Exhibit B: Dick Cheney attempts to express shock despite being unable to register any emotion on his vulcanized rubber face. Meanwhile, androgyne adviser Mary Cheney/Karen Hughes/Mary Matalin looks on, concerned. Also: “Oh, no!” is apparently the interjection of choice at the White House, after “golly” and “holy cow” were ruled a bit risque for mixed company.
