APRIL VOTING INCENTIVE!  NOTHING INTERESTING!

Seriously, man, there’s nothing interesting to see if you vote.  What, don’t you trust me?  VOTE EVEN WHEN THERE’S NO REAL MOTIVATION FOR YOU TO DO SO!!!

And as for the comic...

If you’re interested in learning more about the wrong kind of white people, I highly recommend checking out Christian Lander’s book Stuff White People Like, which provides numerous educational insights on the topic.  Puck, you must understand, is a bit of an unusual case, in that she’s a bit of a ‘right kind of white people’ poser.  She dresses like the right kind, and tries to periodically act like the right kind, but deep down, she’s wrong in every conceivable way.  And God bless her for that.

Oh, and if you’re not from North America, I’m not about to explain the significance of the Twinkie (which I’m blatantly parodying) because no one born outside this continent can ever understand such a weird, fascinating cultural icon. Suffice it to say that no food inspires more nostalgic longing and simultaneous revulsion than the Twinkie.  It’s a golden sponge cake with a sweet whipped cream filling, but it’s so much more – and less –  than that.  When the manufacturers were experiencing financial trouble a few years back, they actually stopped production.  Twinkies suddenly disappeared from store shelves, the whole continent was struck with an oddly poignant mixture of panic and relief.

They came back a few months later, of course.  These kinds of things always do.
