Republicans buy comic books too
I’m not sure exactly what to think about this. Erik Larson’s comic book character Savage Dragon is endorsing Barack Obama for President of the United States.
Savage Dragon is the one on the left. The green one with a fin on his head. Barack Obama is the one on the right. The one with his sleeves rolled up a little bit and ready to get to work for America.
I guess this a smooth move if most of Larson’s readers are Obama supporters. It’s not such a smooth move if a lot of them are John McCain supporters. According to Real Clear Politics, they actually exist. McCain supporters that is. RCP currently shows Obama leading McCain 45.5% to 43.5%.
If those numbers show anything, they show that Larson may very well be pissing off nearly half his readers. As Michael Jordon once said when asked why he didn’t endorse the Democratic challenger running against racist Senator Strom Thurmond, “Republicans buy shoes too.“
