1 Ishmael: Loren, I was excited to vote in my first Presidential election. But we'll be in space saving humanity on election day!
2 Loren: You could send in an absentee ballot.
3 Ishmael: Yeah! I bet nobody's ever been more absent during an election than 750,000 miles from Earth!
4 Loren: I dunno... There are some candidates that come to mind.

Political humour is always tricky. I don't want to make comments about any real world politicians in this comic.

But politicians in general are always acceptable targets. People may prefer some politicians over others, and get upset when people cast aspersions or make jokes about them in particular, but everyone hates politicians in general.

I really like those black Lego pieces used in the background here. I should dig those out again and use them more. Very industrial looking.
