Centrist Dems Pre and Post Election

I get to do this for a living because lots of readers support my Patreon with mostly small pledges!

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON

This cartoon has four regular panels, plus a tiny "kicker" panel under the bottom.

PANEL 1

A large caption says "PRE-ELECTION."

Two people, a casually dressed woman and a more business-dressed man, are talking in an office. The man makes a dismissive gesture.

WOMAN: Progressives have some ideas for this election...

MAN: Here's my idea. Step one: donate to our campaign. Step two: you get lost.

PANEL 2

The man pushes the woman out of the office.

WOMAN: Hey!

MAN: No insult, but you woke special interest social justice freaks repel normie voters. Leave us in charge of this election so we can win!

PANEL 3

The man sits behind his desk, looking very pleased.

MAN: Good riddance! Now we can run a winning campaign - a centrist campaign with a centrist candidate and centrist strategies!

PANEL 4

A large caption says "POST-ELECTION".

The same man and woman are in a hallway. She glares at him, while he yells at her, jumping with fury.

MAN: WE LOST AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!

KICKER PANEL

The man smiles as he talks to Barry the cartoonist.

MAN: Centrist Democrats can't fail! We can only be failed.

CHICKEN FAT WATCH

"Chicken fat" is archaic cartoonist-speak for fun little details that don't matter.

PANEL 1: On the shelves in the background: A book called "Really Big Book." A framed picture of Tintin. There's a framed picture of Amy from "Futurama" on the wall. The woman's shirt says "Woop Woop."

Her arms are covered with, well, random doodles, including a Rubik's cube flying on angel wings, a cloud that says "meh," a sake, and a explosion with a "BOOM" sound effect.

PANEL 2: The snake tattoo has moved to her other arm, which also features a hand hatching from an egg and a paper saying "8675309." Her shirt now ways "Hi Mom!" There's a framed picture of Groucho Marx on the wall.

PANEL 3: There are framed photos on the wall of Kermit the Frong, Marcie, Peppermint Patty, the Mayor from "Nightmare Before Christmas," and Mayor Quimby from The Simpsons.

On the shelves are: A globe with a goldfish-shaped continent; a stack of three books: Really Big Book, RBB Strikes Back, and Return of the RBB. The photo of Tintin has been replaced with Tintin's dead, decapitated head. A photo of a seagull with a fish in its beak. A mouse with a bow and arrow, taking aim at an apple on the head of another mouse. A mouse painting a picture of cheese. A napping cat.

On the desk: The book says "Scary" on the spine and "Boo" on the front cover. The icon on the back of the laptop is a cracking egg.

Finally, a mouse or rat is clinging to the arm of the chair in the foreground.

Incredible tragic ancedote.
