What you’re looking at

This is a seven-panel satirical comic strip showing a political candidate's week-long campaign schedule. The strip depicts the candidate (recognizable by his checkered suit and hat) engaging in various public activities: **Mon-Sat**: The candidate meets voters, shakes hands, and performs public appearances—typical campaign activities. **Sun onwards**: The narrative shifts absurdly. The candidate appears to suffer increasingly chaotic mishaps involving a car: crashes, explosions, and physical comedy escalate throughout the remaining panels. The satire likely mocks how politicians exhaust themselves through relentless campaigning, or how candidates maintain composed public personas while experiencing personal disasters. The shift from civilized handshakes to vehicular chaos suggests the strain of campaigning or the gap between campaign rhetoric and reality. The artist is Mal Grass (signed lower right).
