This is a very timely comic, despite the fact that it was produced in the late 90s. A populist preacher is put on television because various influential people see how the message he’s presenting can further their various agendas. Of course, he gets a lot of press and eventually is discredited because of the ongoing orgy that his private life has become. Super familiar, right? On this page, the man sitting on his chair in the second panel resonates as a precursor of what the platonic ideal of a Fox News viewer would look like.
