He has also listed Doonsebury as one of his influences. And speak for yourself...you have no idea what affects his comics may have on someone later on..thanks like saying no one will get old movies after a certain amount of time. The Wizard of Oz was rife with social commentary...in fact the entire film was basically a satire of the political climate of that time, 1939. Do kids know that? no. they just love it

There are people right now who don't know the political platform of Alan Keyes. There are people who don't know who Donald Rumsfeld is..what difference will 10 years make?
