Punchline

From 1997 to 2003, Nelson Communications Co. published Punchline for twelve issues, a satirical comic strip series that skewered American politics and pop culture with a rotating cast of characters including President Bill Clinton, Uncle Sam, and the Democrat Donkey. Written and drawn primarily by Max Hopper and Mike Thompson, the series blended political cartooning with absurdist humor, featuring figures like Bubba Picasso and Daniel Boone alongside the Republican Elephant. Its sharp, timely jabs at the late-90s political landscape made it a distinctive voice in alternative comics.
