@Jesternario Be careful with the phrase “blow up”… the date for this strip is just a few months before the Oklahoma City bombing. While I doubt JB would deliberately make light of that event, it does touch into such social drama that resulted in militiamen then and ultranationalism now. I think it will serve as a means by which to hold a big ugly mirror up to Ronald’s face and see how far he’s willing to sell his soul.
Wow. He actually did the supervillain “rubbing your palms together in fiendish glee” thing. Well, if you’re gonna descend into lunacy, you may as well lean into it, right?
Keep on talking, Ronnie-boy. Sooner or later, you’ll come crashing down with enough force to make even the big red guy downstairs tap his ceiling with a broom while barking at you to keep it down!
@Alex: Believe it or not Hydrox predates Oreo. Oreo actually imitated Hydrox, but then became more popular.
As for Ronald… I think Iago could say it best. “Oooh boy, he’s cracked. He’s gone nuts. Ronald! RON-ALD! Get a GRIP!”
Ronald’s sanity is slowly slipping away bit by bit.

W-wait…is…is Ron essentially saying that there’ll be so much winning that he’ll be sick of it?!?
Dios mio…
Waiting for this to blow up in his face.

Pfft, yeah, okay crazy. Got a little high because of some old fogey supporters just as out of touch as he is. Enjoy it while it lasts.
“Didn’t try to save the rainforest”? Is he not aware of global warming and how destroying trees will make things worse?
Probably not, because he’s too busy thinking about himself.
@SP: Or removed from the strip and completely forgotten until Jocelyn gets her flashback story.
Gee, wait until Ronald finds out that Newt is a serial adulterer and massive hypocrite. But he’ll just make excuses, won’t he?

Yeah, this MF either gonna be dead or in jail by the end of this arc.
Ugh, she’s eating Hydrox? What a hipster.
You know shit’s gonna hit the fan when Jocelyn actually looks concerned even if mildly.
