    I find this cartoon offensive...not because of the politics expressed in it like bashing gays and what have you...but as a comic book fan...it is just horrible and extremely funny all at the same time...a few quotes from people about the guy:


    Keith Gaddie, a University of Oklahoma political science professor, called the book “one of the strangest things” he’d ever seen.

    “I’ve never seen a comic book with the phrase ‘anal sodomy’ in it before. That was a new one for me.”

    Gaddie said comics were common political campaign tools decades ago, but not today. “He’s pretty much grinding every ax he’s got from his days in the county commission,” Gaddie said. “In a way, it’s a sophisticated piece.”

    The strip, which Rinehart said took him two months to write, opens with a proclamation that Rinehart is a Republican and Christian who stands up to “liberal good ol’ boys” at the county courthouse.

    “I do not know who the good ol’ boys at the courthouse are,” said County Assessor Leonard Sullivan, a Republican who has had public disagreements with Rinehart.

    “I’ve really encouraged him on more than one occasion to get professional help. He really needs it,” said Sullivan, who is not depicted in the comic.
