Page 17 - 'Donald Trump: The Road to the Whitehouse' (2016) - Average Joe's Boss - TidalWave Productions

I should stress that I am not a Donald Trump fan!

This is page 17 from a comic about Donald Trump's climb to power, as viewed from the perspective of an 'average Joe' increasingly drawn to Trump's politics. On this page the average Joe character is caught by his boss watching Trump related material at work. Earlier in the story he is shown getting a dressing down from this boss after being scolded separately by his wife. The author's suggestion seems to be that humiliation by both his boss and his wife - alongside other factors such as sexual frustration, mounting bills, dislike of his liberal neighbour, and having his car journey interrupted by protestors - are catalysts for his descent into Trumpism.

I have shown the original art page side by side with the published page. The artist Nathan Webb both drew the page and added the digital colouring and effects.

There is an interesting short article about the comic, written at the time of its release, here:
