In September/October, when the US Presidential campaign dominated all our lives more and more, I took it in my head to have a similar election for the leadership of Sabrina's toy collection in comic strip. There were campaign ads and all, in my feeble attempt at satire and social comment - and avoiding taking sides publicly or using my comic as a soapbox. I decided the winner of the Transformer election would be the same as the Presidential election (Blackarachnia here representing Obama, though depicted sort of an erzatz mix of Barack and Hillary - and incumbent Grimlock as the McCain stand-in, though more of a Grimlock W. in practice) and wound up drawing two different strips for different outcomes. Obama won (Congrats dude!) and the Blackarachnia strip went up on Sabrina-Online.com. Though my expectation and preference, it's almost a pity, as I think the strip here, the one which would have run with a McCain victory, is probably the funnier strip.
