true, but not funny.

why the slant on italian politics?

you a dago or something?

I suspect he's making comics on what he thinks are obscure subjects so he can blame readers' ignorance when no one thinks the they're funny.

I am making comics for readers of my blog, where I often discuss Italian politics (and many other things). That simple.

If you thought I am trying to make readers feel embarassed because they do not follow "obscure" international news...well, that is not my aim.

Apparently people on these forums get offended both when I post a reference to my comics (so that they can find out about the background events) and when I do not. You guys should just take it easy!

i have yet to be offended by anything i've read or seen online.

i was merely curious as to why you're so interested in Italian politics.

while were on the subject of greasy guineas, what's the difference between an Italian grandmother and an elephant?

A. 50 lbs and a black dress.

Italian politics is the craziest kind you'd find on this Earth. It really is. Thus it's great material for strips - they say for real things you would not even have thought could be pronounced in any political arena.

As for the joke...you might just be on the right track...though the 'black dress' touch is a little outdated.
