Rather epic fail by the author, acting as if the woman can’t automatically take the chief’s place in a kinship society. A whole week, and still no explanation.
“Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.”
That’s happened to a number of people who dared face up to the leader but to no avail. Incredibly, there’s still a line of those who think they can express the truth and still retain their position in the tribe. But Buttercup prevails. All Hail Buttercup!!
It’s an allegory. The “chief” represents a Republican governor of an early-opened sunbelt state, and “old woman” represents epidemiologists trying to bring science into the decision making process.
Living in age of #TrumpleThinSkins daily projections is plenty of fodder for our cartoonists! The one & only bright point in 4yrs. Oh I’ll gladly trade for communicative humans. LOL.

Homer has discovered the meaning of Ook, Ook, Ook. He cannot be allowed to live.

Wait a sec. Sign language is a language; especially if it’s advanced enough that you can ask someone to chose a random number.

The thought the chief is thinking but lacks the resources to express is “will this be on the test?”

You know, now that I think about it, every time I tried to help a woman convince another man of anything, I got in trouble and she just walked away.

Any chief worthy of his title could see how to weaponize this power. That’s why we’re the sole surviving species of genus homo.
