watch it: “Get Your War On: New World Order”

I’ve been reading Get Your War On, the flat nonmoving comic strip version, forever, it seems — it’s been a beacon of sanity over the last eighteen hundred years that Commander Cuckoo Bananas and his friends have been in charge. So I’m delighted to see it making the leap to animated short, and hope that this bodes well for political satire continuing to be sharp and smart in the future, when we no longer have Dubya as a ready-made punching bag. Though as this short seems to suggest, there will always be assholes who desperately deserve to be punched. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
