A lot of crap happens today. Again, this was plotted out months ago so please try not to draw parallels between Kickman and world events.
So, Villain City is tapping into the resource that they have an abundance of, and using it to strengthen their position as a new country. And if anyone has been watching the series The Boys, people should rightly be afraid of super terrorists. Teleport–> dirty bomb. Animal control –> Bio-Weapon. Stanley Wright –> you know what, forget about Stanley.
Panel 3: Reagan in charge? Who under 57 would say that??
Calvin Coolidge wouldn’t put up with this either! (Actually I have zero idea of anything Calvin Coolidge may or may not have done…)
“The nation which forgets its defenders will be itself forgotten.”
― Calvin Coolidge
That might give an idea….
Actually, Coolige was known as Silent Cal for his reticence to say anything at all. The story goes that at a party, one lady told him that she had made a bet with a friend that she could get him to say more than two words to her. His legendary reply was, “You lose.” 🙂
All I knew about Silent Cal was this quote:
“Nothing In The World Can Take The Place Of Persistence. Talent Will Not; Nothing Is More Common Than Unsuccessful Men With Talent. Genius Will Not; Unrewarded Genius Is Almost A Proverb. Education Will Not; The World Is Full Of Educated Derelicts. Persistence And Determination Alone Are Omnipotent. The Slogan “Press On” Has Solved And Always Will Solve The Problems Of The Human Race.” – Calvin Coolidge
You realize you now have to have some Coolidge quotes in your strip….
