I prefer the conspiracy ouroboros:

Conspiracy theories do not generate spontaneously. They're all crafted deliberately by a nefarious cabal of corporate interests to distract and manipulate the public.

Finally someone not afraid to speak the truth!

Hey! I read a blog once also. You're telling me I've had the option all this time, to become a deranged, delusional maniac?

As someone who also has no talent or expertise, the comic does make it seem kind of appealing

We all had the option all this time to become a deranged, delusional maniac on this glorious day.

I, for one, welcome our new deranged, delusional, maniac overlords.

Yeah. I like that their campaign slogan font is noticeably different than the previous deranged, delusional, maniac overlords. It's a refreshing change.

This time they gave away Y2K ready mousepads!

I do not. Any chance I can opt out?

The great part is, you don't even have to have read a blog! Even merely having learned to speak is sufficient!

And maybe not even that! Wild howling! Guttural noises! Ooga-booga! Ugg! Waaga! Eeegh-eeegh-eEeEe!

... I fear I may be too good at this.

There is still time.

"Now go tell those experts who the real guy who once read a blog is" is my new favourite response

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Also impressive:

Wow! I used to be a sad loser who lost my kids from drinking too much, but now I'm Neo from the Matrix. Hya!

Killer comic. Last panel's a little weak though. Maybe it should break the fourth wall, like the guy looks at the reader and is like: "This is causing all the world's problems."

There's a trope that many comics can be improved, if you remove the last panel. I do believe this to be one such case...

I think removing the text bubble and just having the character's shocked impression would be a good choice.
