He’s just a media head w/ his propaganda told in a ‘strip’ form.
Good point! Hitler- socialism; Obama- socialism!

Strange, the parallels in history, eh?”
That's why a lot of papers moved it off the funny pages to the editorial page or somewhere in the want ads or did away with it entirely.
Does anybody still read "Doonesbury"? Trudeau had a following in the 1970s, but lately, the only time I hear about his strip is when he gets into some political controversy. Maybe that's why he does get involved in these things: nobody's reading the strip.
He took a sabbatical years ago, and IIRC, at that time he auditioned people to draw the strip, and I think he hired a writer, also. When he came back from sabbatical the drawing style was different.
Depends on your perspective whether that's a good or a bad thing. I'd be fighting mad if anybody compared me with Jesus. Don't care for christianity too much.
You just spiked my irony meter.
Yeah, LOL. I don’t anticipate too many instances where someone might be comparing me to jesus.
My local paper, The San Francisco Chronicle, for a while (still?) moved Dilbert off the comics page and into the Business section.
That’s ‘cause Dilbert isn’t a cartoon, it’s a documentary!!
Hitler was not born in Germany, so obviously he wouldn’t support a law like the one they have in the U.S.
