This is all the current Vice President's plan, who appears to be smarter, or at least less-dead than previous vice presidents. If this plan at any point puts him in the position to assume the presidency perhaps because everyone, including the current President, is in prison, (and especially if the stated plan relies on him to give that position back) I think he's going to keep it.

 So a while ago they came to the conclusion that Trixie secretly controlled the police and I really hope that comes into play here somehow.

Found the loophole. "The law says that if you're in prison you can't be president." If they stage a jailbreak, she's not 'in' prison and isn't disqualified.

Holy poo poo, did Reverse Hilary Clinton just perform reverse lobbying? And just like regular lobbying, it's legally not bribery.

I love that all this plan ended up doing was narrowing the field down to three candidates, thus scuppering their initial scheme of bloating the candidate list with socialists. Barbara is back to just about exactly where she started.

Remember that all the votes are already in and the announcement is only an hour away. And Barbara Everdark's park, with three percent of the poll twenty days before the election, was in an eighteen-way tie at that time, making the outcome pretty much random among those eighteen. It's not longer about split parties - it's a random choice between her and up to two others, depending on whether they're also part of those eighteen. For all intents and purposes, if the old woman and/or the spider were also in the top eighteen, Barbara's chances can't exceed fifty percent.

That said, the law is about being "in prison" not "Under arrest" isn't it? And there are certainly more candidates here than police. Even without a trial, even if the candidates don't run or stall, it's certainly going to take some time to get them processed and imprisoned.

I was very, VERY ready for the announcer to say, "My apologies, but the law requires that I go through every single candidate regardless of eligibility," follow by multiple pages of awesome names and Barbara's face turning entirely new shades of red like the Color out of Space.

The comic should end on Friday, with a happy Zoozo giving a speech about how he's going to raise taxes on the rich to help all the sick children and everyone cheering, including Trixie and Lyndon. Ain't gonna happen: Thorsby doesn't do happy endings

I wouldn't class the endings of Transdimensional Brain Chip and Hitmen for Destiny as 'happy'. Bittersweet? Deeply ambiguous? Not happy, though.

I thought the ending of Transdimensional Brain Chip was pretty happy. Like, the alternative was the entire planet being imprisoned in Buddhist re-education camps.

And even before Barbara's final wine scheme Trixie still wouldn't have won. Oh well, the best candidate truly did win.

A mountain of other corpses (an uncomfortable number needlessly killed by Anette under the influence of the sword). Anette and Bianca's friendship destroyed. The 2 hitmen unleashed on a fresh world to cause havoc and murder. Maythorn and Anette have a tentative future together but that's really the only thing salvaged from the wreckage. I guess that's technically 'happy-ish"!

Jymre probably got the happiest ending, having grown out of his "get rich quick" schemes and reconciled with his family, his fiancée, and even his boss. Also don't forget that Destiny getting pretty much killed off also meant that a prophesied disaster was averted in Annette's world.
