On a cartoon level, I liked the picture of a fox being kicked in the balls, and the fact that the snake is wearing a shoe

Wonderfully spot on! I loved scrolling down to “Lowly the Worm” as the lowly immigrant.

Wow, I think Ruben’s really done it with this one. Probably his best.

The mystery that they need to solve this episode is the case of the rapey Supreme Court candidate. I bet that they will do a better job than the FBI.
He did it, but he keeps lying for the good of God and Country. He confesses right after every time he lies, so his sins are always forgiven.

That’s not a snake, it’s ‘Lowly Worm’.

This is almost like The Garden of Earthly Delights, panel 3.

That’s Lowly Worm, or in this case “Lowly Immigrant”. Hi-larious!
Bolling’s a genius.
TIL this:
About 500,000 Lowly Worm and Huckle Cat finger puppets, distributed by Taco Bell in 1993, were voluntarily recalled by Taco Bell following complaints that the puppets had become stuck to children’s tongues.[6]
Thanks, Wikipedia!

I had a horrible feeling that story was going to end differently. Glad it didn’t.
Somebody tried it though, right…?
It’s funny because it’s true. Although I’d take one exception - despite Trump’s claims, “Wall Builder” isn’t actually a job. “Imaginary Wall Builder,” maybe.
