Q: Why American history?
A: American history is just too funny. Not only do the portraits of old politicians of yore look comedic taken out of context, but they were part of all these crazy things like the "non-intercourse act" and the "teapot dome scandal". Some of them even have funny names like Spiro Agnew, Ignatius Donnely, and Warren Harding. Ok, so I only laugh at Harding because he's a total schmendrick.
Q: Is Demockracy a political cartoon, or just a comic? It is weird.
A: Demockracy may offer political commentary, but I avoid expressing strong political views and the comics are usually not all that political. They're just jokes, about history, usually.
Q: Sorry, but I don't get it.
A: Not surprising: You need extensive American historical knowledge to get some of these. I try to make them funny even if you don't get the historical humor, but that's hard. Remember, these aren't just a comic, they're a way I study for AP US.
Q: Your comic isn't very actionful, why don't you make it more exciting? Pictures sitting there and talking doesn't really make a comic.
A: Actionful isn't a word, dumbass.
A2: Your mom sitting there and talking doesn't really make a comic.
A3: I like it this way.
Q: Who is your favorite historical figure, ever?
A: I think I'd have to say Alexander Hamilton: He was a genius, he was a muck-rakin' poison-penned dude who pioneered the sex scandal and without whom America would be about as much of a flop as, say, Canada. I mean, some other place. Hamilton be happenin' my shiznit, home-skillet.
Q: Your least favorite?
A: Heh, I have lots. Harding was dumb and gave idjits jobs. Taft is easy to make fun of because he has a funny face and wishes he was Roosevelt. Jefferson was the ultimate hypocrite: Penned "All men are created equal", kept slaves. The republican man of the people with the scrapped and rebuilt dream house and expensive wine collection. Plus, he seemed to always be conspiring against someone. Then there was Burr. "Who?" you ask. He's not so well known because mostly he just shot Alexander Hamilton and tried to steal the Louisiana Purchase. OK so that's a lot of least favorites, but there are a lot of historical figures out there.
Q: Who are you anyway?
A: I'm Ned, a high schooler who thinks history is goofy and knows an awful lot about it.
Q: How is Demockracy affiliated with Insert Coin?
A: Their authors are chums, and Insert Coin's author made this website. Plus, they're both third decan gemini who like old school hip-hop, jazz/funk fusion, and geek stuff.
