I heard there were a bunch of people voting for parties that weren't Abbot's but because they didn't vote below the line, their protest votes against Labor ended up getting to him first. How true is that?

I'm confused, don't cartoons like that give insight into the historical obstacles to police of all races being respected? That cartoon was from that era, shows what he was up against in public perception. Why does the ATF care about an old redneck in the middle of no where and how does tazering them help? Oh right, They're Coming For Our Guns and, We Sure Showed "Em What Fer.  1 2 3 4I wonder how much hate mail he got for this one.  5

The sheriff did say a thing about like "make sure you paint it a different colour" or something Yeah the Sheriff is suggesting they steal the car, paint it a different colour (presumably adding another pink g-man vehicle to their ambassadorial flotilla) and then fictitiously blame the action on immigrants when the government comes back to ask them to tow it. I feel like suggesting white racists frequently profit out of pandering to stereotypes of immigrants by inventing crimes where none happened is a little counter production to Muir's message, but hey, I'm sure he knows what he's doing.

Sam is really kind of childish, isn't she? She's excitable, impulsive (it was her buying the Charger that forced the family into a trailer) and gets absorbed in silly fantasies (her Mary Sue superhero being a badass, her nonagenarian father-in-law beating up federal agents, etc.) She's like a precocious ten-year-old, except fuckable.

I actually went to the dbd website because I assumed I'd missed the comic where they confront and capture the ATF officers but nope, like a low budget movie all that happens off-screen and then we join Our Heroes for the aftermath. "Oh you just missed Maris again!"

So sometimes I do a quick GIS and see how far down the first page Muir's source image is. I was surprised to find that "brewster county sheriff truck" didn't yield anything that looked like the comic. It looks like the stripes and text on the vehicle were added by hand which is why they don't line up with the truck. What a big step forward for Muir to have actually drawn something in his comic. Congratulations.
