Clyde doesn’t mock people. He asks pointed questions of his conversational partners in the manner of Socrates, to point out the folly of their assumptions. OK, he’s kind of a smartass sometimes, but not out of hatred…
Ushindi, I HADN’T seen it (that’s not a strip I follow), but now I have, and THANK YOU!
I can in all honesty say that having Howdy Doty booted was not an unalloyed pleasure; I’d have greatly preferred that he left voluntarily. I’m reminded of an exchange from the first “Batman” movie:
Politician on TV: “We’ve got to clean up Gotham City, and make it fit for decent people!”
Jack Napier (Joker): “Decent people shouldn’t live in Gotham City. They’d be happier elsewhere.”

Nothing wrong with clawing your way to the top of a billion dollar industry. Just remember your friends in Washington.
