I did not draw about the latest abortive assassination attempt at the White House Press Corps Dinner last night.
The story does not have an expressly LGBTQ+ angle (well, at least I hope it doesn't), and the only way I could imagine coming up with an editorial cartoon tailored to the LGBTQ+ press about it would be to have a Max & Leo episode in which Leo falls for the notion that it was some sort of staged hoax. And I intend for Leo to be a liberal, but not a gullible one.
Oh, I suppose I could have come up with some brand new LGBTQ or + character watching Breaking News coverage on TV, but we're bound to learn something completely different about the gunman by Thursday rendering moot whatever bon mot I might have them say. We've already gone through the incident being used to promote Trump's Gaudy Ballroom, to Norah O'Donnell asking Trump about the gunmanifesto ranting about a pedophile rapist, to social media debating whether the guy is a registered Republican, Democrat, floor wax, or dessert topping.
