Notes: The U.S. Presidential campaign of 1988 was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever seen .... until the U.S. Presidential campaign of 2000. Funny how both races featured a member of the Bush family against a nearly personalityless, but eminently more qualified opponent? Notice how each time the Bush won? ... *sigh* ...

When I look back on this particular series of strips, I find myself wishing I could draw this way again. Something about the line quality is different (and in my mind preferable) to the style I've developed in later years. I like the light quality of the inking, and the way even completely solid shapes have gaps in their outlines (look at that hair). This, of course, would make the strip terribly hard to color on computer, but I very much like the effect.
