@ Taxil:
wolf in bear’s clothing disagrees, a web comic is the perfect outlet to show your frustration, and to let other who feel the same have some satisfaction that they are not the only ones fuming.
Plus its a clever way to get the truth out in a way that’s still funny and enjoyable to read.
also note its somewhat of a tradition of comics to take well aimed jabs at those who deserve it.

@ Rabid_Fox:
Ain’t nothing wrong with irradiated foodstuffs. The only thing exposing food to gamma rays does is disinfect it.

… To all the people p!ssing and moaning about the (semi)political commentary, take a look at your local paper’s comics section this sunday. Most of those comics are far more preachy and political than S&W.

Monsanto also created Agent Orange which killed Vietnam Vet and Villagers slowly! They also caused birth defection because of it.
P.S- Down with that corrupt,evil and Military Industrial Coporated Monsanto! World can live without it.

Not going to get into a debate about gm food as both the potential benefits and the potential damages are almost limitless, I know Monsanto well, and agree that they are a prime example of rampant capitalist immorality, but that again would be a long debate. This being a comment on the comic, however, at this stage it is not the best nor the worst comic I’ve seen on-line (or off) but has kept me reading so far, and seems to be maturing nicely. Those of you who complain about politics in comics obviously know nothing of comic history, or indeed the history of comedy. The clowns in classical theatre were the only ones who could tell political truths to lords and kings without getting their heads cut off, even nursery rhymes were more often than not veiled references to the political scandals of the day. Hey diddle diddle may seem like childish gibberish but it actually refers to a foolish king and queen, a dishonest treasurer etc.
As a writer my political and religious views are often in my work, artist friends, musician friends etc include a lot of political commentary in their work, comic writers like any other creative artist put part of themselves into their creations, and any small minded bigot or opinionated fanatic who doesn’t like it should be closely watched, they are the ones who will end up burning books and banning freedom of speech. Scary.
