I know. Remember how the police arrested peaceful protesters at the 2008 RNC? Or how peace groups were infiltrated (including a vegetarian cooking club) during the previous administration. The FBI and others were acting like if you disagreed with what the previous administration did then you were considered The Enemy.
Oh, I remember. I lived through a version of this when I worked in downtown Indianapolis. I was there for all of it, arguing and fuming and outraged. In retrospect I would have probably been happier if I kept my opinions to myself and rolled with it.
Luckily for all, we take a much more centrist approach with “Johnny Saturn,” and we don’t beat you over the head with our opinions. “Johnny Saturn” is meant for enjoyment and entertainment, and it would be very entertaining to listen to people soapboxing.
Eh, it isn’t like it is against the law for the FBI to attend a rally and document the proceedings. And interesting people sometimes pop up at such things. So while they are certainly within their legal rights to do so, it isn’t exactly people-friendly, and the big brother feel can make people twitchy.
Now if they were smart, they would simply attend the rallies as freelance journalists or bloggers, and then no one would bat an eye at them documenting everything.
I’m laughing because I’m trying to picture a certain ‘leader’ trying to ‘pronunciate’ this: Foosha? Fusher? Fus-cha?
And each level was apparently meant to indicate how far to stick your head up your ass while his handlers dug you into the shit. As it does in Spireworld, as well, I’m guessing.
Fuschia! OMG! I have to get down to the hardware store RIGHT NOW and buy some duct tape and plastic sheeting! I need potassium iodide pills! Quick, what’s the number for Goldline? Now…I have my Kelly Kettle, a bucket of freeze-dried food, six cases of bottled water, guns, a Davy Crocket in a lead box, sandwiches, thermos, animal track recognition chart, and one triple-thick condom. You never know!
A very nice take on terror levels and recession spending! I suspect a sense of cynicism about this one
I’ve actually seen the FBI doing this at peace rallies, many of which I used to attend in downtown Indianapolis.

This doesn’t relate to the discussion, but you’re doing a really awesome job with the colors, Scott!! Great highlights and shadows!!
Thanks, Joel! I mean that. I have my own, 100% original coloring process, and I’ve been pretty happy with the process.
Fushia?
Bwahahaha
Yeah, I never did understand that color coded alert thing, and wasn’t sure what it meant to do, other than “be vigilant”.

The names may be different, but the face of ineptitude is exactly the same in Spire City’s world.

OMG, your killing me! I’m still laughing about this post–my ribs hurt!
Don’t forget, if you have a skin condition like psoriasis, atopic dermatitues, etc., you are at greater risk!
Can you believe they wanted people to seal their houses and apartments with plastic sheeting and duct tape? No fear mongering there, no siree!
I’m just wondering where I can claim my free dishes and soap… Herb said I could…
I have never loved this comic more than I do right now in this moment. I am going back and reading it all again, just because I love it so much.
Glad it struck a chord with you!
