Pop Political/Political Pop: Trolling the GOP with Comics

Posted on January 17, 2014 by Brett

Each week I point out a nice “political” moment in comics, or a geeky moment in politics. It could be an entire comic, a Tweet, release, event or a moment in a comic series, recent or in the past.

This week’s entry is a great case in trolling that had me laughing for quite a long time. The GOP took to Twitter to ask what people’s “top issues” were. Comic writer Ron Marz had a response that was just too perfect to not be the top moment of the week.

Thor #337. It's about an illegal alien. RT @GOP: Tell us your top issues Let’s win big in 2014.

But Marz wasn’t the only one to have this idea. Here’s some others that got in on the fun:

It took Uncle Phil dying for me to realize he was the voice of Shredder. RT “@GOP: Tell us your top issues. Let’s win big in 2014.”
