Scott Adams reminds us that no matter how smug and obnoxious his self-insert comic strip is, the real deal is even worse.

quote:

This past week we saw Clinton pair the idea of President Trump with nuclear disaster, racism, Hitler, the Holocaust, and whatever else makes you tremble in fear.

The only downside I can see to the new approach is that it is likely to trigger a race war in the United States. And I would be a top-ten assassination target in that scenario because once you define Trump as Hitler, you also give citizens moral permission to kill him. And obviously it would be okay to kill anyone who actively supports a genocidal dictator, including anyone who wrote about his persuasion skills in positive terms. (I�m called an �apologist� on Twitter, or sometimes just Joseph Goebbels).

So I�ve decided to endorse Hillary Clinton for President, for my personal safety. Trump supporters don�t have any bad feelings about patriotic Americans such as myself, so I�ll be safe from that crowd. But Clinton supporters have convinced me � and here I am being 100% serious � that my safety is at risk if I am seen as supportive of Trump. So I�m taking the safe way out and endorsing Hillary Clinton for president.

As I have often said, I have no psychic powers and I don�t know which candidate would be the best president. But I do know which outcome is most likely to get me killed by my fellow citizens. So for safety reason, I�m on team Clinton.

My prediction remains that Trump will win in a landslide based on his superior persuasion skills. But don�t blame me for anything President Trump does in office because I endorse Clinton.

Despite writing quality that couldn't even make it in a small town editorial page, this man actually thinks he is smarter and cleverer than everyone. Or anyone.

I like how his main concern about a Trump presidency is his own personal safety, and in fact has based his presidential pick solely on that concept.

e: I kinda want a Scott Adams podcast interview because I bet it'd be like that one Gallagher did with Mark Maron.

Mert Nertman (Bud Grace's fictional "assistant") used to be a recurring thing back in the day. Nertman had a character named "Baby Nichole", the joke being that she's a cutesy character that doesn't fit with the regular "Ernie" sensibility.

Of course, since Mert is made-up, Bud Grace actually drew those "Baby Nichole" strips himself, but here he actually did take a vacation and got his real assistant (Jay Scruggs) to take over. Bud drew the first three panels, and Jay did the rest. These ran in 2003, and may very well be the last time Mert Nertman appeared in the strip

On the second week, Mert drew Bud Grace going to a psychiatric exam, where they sawed his head off and it turned out that his brain is full of useless 1950s pop culture junk filling up space.
