Pro-Pot, Pro-Gay Marriage, Pro-Pit Bull Webcartoonist Gets Elected Democrat Candidate
Forget Frank Miller and Paul Ryan. This is a real comic book creator heading for office.
Webcartoonist Nicholas Ivan Ladendorf beat political science teacher Richard Buchli in a Democrat primary for the House of Representatives in Missouri.
And he did it by handing out comic books. Well, comic illustrations. Well, manipulated photographs, quoting from Understanding Comics. "Scott McCloud has said it's easier to read a comic than it is not to… The trick is to pull them in before they throw it away and forget about it."
And it seems to have been an effective way of getting over his pro-marijuana legisation, pro gay marriage, anti big government and big business, anti pit bull control laws and pro life morning after pill policies. You can read his previous comics here.
