If today’s GOP primary was a Japanese horror supernatural anime (all rights with respective owners). In both the Movement and Japanese imagination, conveniently blonde hair plays an outsized role. We think Ms. Base Babe definitely should pack, and it’s nice the pointy-headed-liberal here is wearing glasses. Probably went to a better school than Newt.
Issue No.1s are always tricky – introducing the main characters and the hero’s initial journey. While keeping a menace on the horizon. So did we miss anyone? Possibly in the Campbell tradition, the older mentor who must die for the hero to move on. That came to mind.
- Mitt Romney (in his idealized Fox News blonde state
- Tea Party and Republican base
- Liberal Media and Democratic elites
- Gratuitous T&A for Fox
- Newt Gingrich (who threatens to stalk the hero to the Convention)
Leave suggestions for Issue No. 2 below.

At some point you’ve got to throw in Obama as Light Yagami, whose “Death Note” drone war is killing its way to a technocrat’s paradise. His 11-dimensional plotting against his own better nature in time becomes functionally indistinguishable from impotence.
This is probably one of those mangas where no one survives.
Needs moar Alinsky.
If you abstract away all of the media types, you might miss out on some of the best characters!
