I just finished book 4 of Fables. A brilliant series following all of your childhood fantasy figures living in a secret society in the real world. I laughed at this random political exchange in the book.
Son: Is it a parade?
Mother: I don’t think so. Maybe a demonstration?
Father: No, they’re all too white to be Black Pride or Latino Pride or Asian Pride.
Mother: They’re all well dressed. Could they be gay pride?
Father: I doubt it. Their suits are way too conservative.
Son: And they have all those guns.
Father: Oh my god! You’re right! It finally happened! It’s the young Republicans! They’re marching in — taking over New York!
Mother: Just like when they marched on Paris in ’39.
Son: Weren’t those the Nazis?
Mother: Is there a difference?
Son: Does this mean we get Giuliani back?
