I'd have shrunk this, but I was afraid some of the text might've been illegible.

Is their couch having sex with that woman? Her posture and demeanor appear to suggest it.

My neighbor's cat does that when she's in heat...backs her ass up against the couch.

I'm pretty sure she's a cardboard cutout.  It looks to me like he is sitting with his back against the couch, but she is on her hands and knees between him and it.  She must be two-dimensional.

"There is no moral difference between a stealth bomber and a suicide bomber. Both kill innocent people for political reasons."

“If we can find the money to kill people, we can find the money to help people.”

"I'm not frightened about death. I don't know why, but I just feel that at a certain moment your switch is switched off, and that's it. And you can't do anything about it."

I suppose that's the newest effect of getting hit by a Darkwraith's Dark Hand attack - now it sucks dimensions out of you. Poor girl got drained down to two dimensions by one of Kaathe's men.

Jago makes fun comics but their artistic skills are a bit limited. Usually it shows whenever the comic has people who aren't one of the three main characters but I guess the perspective here is also a bit off.

EDIT:


Reminds me of the comic where the artist is going on about how the perfect, although outrageous, metaphor for the political situation in USA would be to make a comic where Cheney shoots a guy in the face and then the victim makes a public announcement where he apologizes for getting shot.

...But then that happened as well.

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Shift all of those way to the right and it'd be more accurate.

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

That's a matter of scaling. They've been put into the parties based on how they stand / are seen to stand in the U.S. politics rather than how they would be placed if evaluated by Finnish standards.

The worst fits are National Coalition and Swedish People's party. Both are socially way too liberal for any Republican candidate. Trump in the Finns and Jill Stein in the Green Party are the best fits.
