Transcript:
Secretary: May I help you? Danae: Yes... tell the Senator that the head of a powerful lobby group is here to see him. Secretary: Uh... how big is this lobby? Danae: Every girl in the country is an official member of the Benevolent Order of Superior Sisterhood! Secretary: Ah. Very good! And what can I tell the Senator your "campaign donation" will be? Danae: Donation? You mean I've gotta pay to see my "public servant"?! Secretary: Aw... it's so precious to witness a child learn how government actually works... The office of Sen. Kingpit Dixon

B.O.S.S. will be dead in the water without funding. You better start collecting membership fees from your members, Danae - if you really have any.

Is Senator Dixon the guy I see sitting at the bar sometimes that looks like Nixon? I think it is…Ahhaaa!

You would have to wait anyway young lady. He is currently meeting with G.R.O.S.S. Now they donated a rare tiger.

Oh come on, everyone knows both senators from Maine are liberal (albeit nominally GOP) women: Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe. Surely Wiley could work some truth into his satire!

It’s interesting that Danae knows it’s special interest groups with powerful lobbyists that get government attention. So she already knows that government does not function “for the people”. Now for the next step in her education…

Danae certainly has her eyes opened in this strip.

Danae wasn’t the only one who had her eyes opened.

Perhaps she can go to facebook and make a BOSS page, which will accept dues so she can make the donation!

Hello, Barry. This is Rahm. Thanks for the leg up. The gangs all here and it’s business as usual.

A longtime politician friend once told me that I should donate $5 to every candidate for every office so I could have my voice heard. It gets you on the list. The preferred list takes much more though.

@ Richard S Russell
spot on!

This is a pleasing comic. We could use someone like Danae watching Washington. Give em Hades! Apparently I’m not gonna do it.

Danae as an innocent! What delicious irony.
Of course, since B.O.S.S. has no money and no actual votes to cast–I suspect they won’t get much traction in D.C.

“Government” versus “ELECTED government”. Those who take the job for what they can do FOR people = government. Those who seek the “job” for what they can do TO people = politicians.

Educating our youth has always been a high priority of our elected officials, hasn’t it?
