Ruben, the Good Comment is: you’re one of the most creative comics artists working today. Yes, I’m including Jef and Lalo and Stephan and several others. I do a syndicated radio daily, so I’m aware of the pressure a daily deadline brings. Your strip today, sending up Calvin and Hobbes, was absolutely inspired! However…
Please get over Trump. I don’t like him either, but he’s not only the President; he’s a YUUUUUGE easy target — and continuing shots at him every new strip is like going to a Star Trek convention and repeating, “He’s dead, Jim!” hoping for lugubrious approval. It’s beyond cliché, and you’ve proven you know satire.
You’re better than that. Please 2) understand your fan base gets that you don’t like Trump; and 1) regain your pre-Trump-possessed brilliance we reveled in so much in years past/passed.
