A SMBC comic satirizing voters who back a destructive candidate just to upset their opponents. In the first panels, one man asks another why he voted for "the enormous flaming skull with hideous serpents for eyes" named "bozmodiklax the vile." The voter admits he doesn't like everything the entity does, but felt it was time to change the status quo. A woman protests that the skull "blotted out the sun and cast the stars from heaven" and surely he can't agree with that policy. The man calmly answers, "Not in particular, but it drives the other side NUTS." The final panels show the characters standing under a monstrous black mass of flames and serpents blotting out the sky, the protesters dismayed while the contented voter grins. Caption: brought to you by buyers of Soonish. The votey, in handwritten cursive, reads: "I promise this comic will never stop being topical."
