Idk about united Dakota, maybe we can just give it all back to the Lakotas and turn Mount Rushmore into a reverse-reservation.

What's the story behind this?

I mean about Bill Amend? I really like the first ten or so years of Fox Trot, but I gave up on it after year 15 or so as it became very dull and repetitive.

He's been milking a dead cow ever since and last I heard he had switched to web only sunday comics.

Is he making even more low effort, drawn on napkin stuff? Is this a one of?

I could go with a merger of the Carolinas and Dakotas… weaken republican power in the senate.

And a united north, central and south America. And united colors of beneton.

And a united healthcare and a united airlines and a united nations

Weird that Virginia isn't mentioned, as it's the only state that was split

Look at this artist -- the guy actually put some bare minimum effort in handwriting and the text is clearly readable. Most artists do some ugly mess even while digital drawing.

As is often the case, it's too coherent to be believable.

Who is this supposed to be about?

Other than the Carolinas, all of that is based as shit and makes the subject of the cartoon actually look like a hero of the people (to be clear, he is not a hero of the people. This makes the cartoonist look like he's not aware of just how based these things would be)
