Butler: Your father will see you now. Man: Come, Sedwick. Come, my boy... so now son, you know the truth, this world... our world... is ruled by a secret cabal of monied elite! Anything of any significance that arises... financial bubbles, political uprisings, assassinations, "grassroots" movements... these things are all planned and sanctioned by the Trilateral Council! With the exception of last season's "America Idol" winner. We were pulling for Lauren Alaina, but there was a mix-up with a memo to our media department.

This is the most face time Sedgwick has had with his father since Thanksgiving ’08.

Ah, the Torch of Wisdom, held by the shadowed visage called Father! Now we are Illuminati! Learn it, live it. love it, Sedgwick. And the media shall feel our wrath! Notice how newspapers are losing money by the barrels? Do you think that was just by accident?

The truth is that it did not happen. The WTC Twin Towers are still there, just shrouded with a cloak of invisibility developed by NASA for David Copperfield. A secret cabal is just hiding them, waiting for rentals to get back to pre-GWB/GFC levels.That’s why there are so many conspiracy theories, to confuse the truth.And all the conspiracy theorists are being paid to promote their nonsense.

Gadzooks, Ottodesu! Of course! It was right there the entire time. Why didn’t I see it before? Yes, well… there is the whole invisibilty cloak thing… but still! Are conspiracy theories the new opiate of the masses?? The mind boggles. (And Sedgie’s eyes goggle!)

As a side note, it’s heartwarming to see how nicely Sedgie and his father, Sedgwick Nuttingham III, are bonding over this issue.

I think young Sedgie looks disillusioned – he may actually have believed in democracy…

Democracy ?!? What kind of whacky conspiracy is THAT ?!?

Is Glen Beck around there someplace? Or did he go “hunting” with Chaney? Wonder if they have his skull laying around there someplace?

Does no one else see the senior Sedgie’s resemblance to the evil Emperor?

Sedgewick is probably wishing that Darth Vader was his dad instead

Is it just me, or does the Father look like Dale Gribble from “King of the Hill”? Same nose and teeth.

Panel 3…. Sedgie wringing his hands in anticipation of the potential power that can be wielded when the torch is literally and figuratively passed to the rightful successor of the throne…. “Fleshy” unfortunately is next in line….
OldestandWisest about 13 years ago
Boy, someone who manages to misspell both GlenN Beck and Dickey ChEney’s names in the same comment! Must be head of the liberal’s brain trust.

I don’t recall ever seeing Sedgewick’s father before. But we still don’t see his whole face.

“Grassroots”…hmm. Tea, anyone?
