I saw Breathed’s presentation at BookExpo America a couple of months back, and covered it for TeleRead. The most interesting thing there was that he explained that he met his goal of doing a short series of strips focusing on Trump, then dropping him like a hot potato, because Breathed could see he was getting to the point of “jumping the shark”—that is, becoming a bigger self-parody than any possible satire of him Breathed could do.
And, as Breathed noted at BEA, he was subsequently proven to be right on the money.
