Roll Over, Oscar Méténier — Tom Tomorrow (Dan Perkins) Has Created The Ultimate Graphic, Amoral, Horror 'Toon For Our Miserable Time

The e-mail that brought today's TMW 'toon also contained this message from Tom/Dan

Hey All,

Seasons greetings to all! I thought I was going to have to use a rerun for this week, but jury duty ended early (as it turns out, there aren't too many cases on the docket the Wednesday before Christmas) and I had a little time at the tail end of the week and felt inspired.

Dan/Tom

And on to a holiday graphic message that is the Grand Guignol of holiday messages. A news report this morning brought the sobering prophecy that The LK (Lyin' King) Has Mapped An Audacious Strategy To Wrap Himself In His Impeachment. It would be no surprise to see a future TV news clip that shows The LK tearing open his shirt and baring his disgusting body to reveal a tattoo of a scarlet I in the center of his miserable, pasty chest in his new guise as "Impeachment Man"! If this is a (fair & balanced) portrayal of a horrible future day, so be it.
