a haiku tribute to Pluto

I really like “What Are We Voting On” guy in panel 2. Here is this person who saw some people about to vote on a thing with cards, so he sidles into the lineup, because who doesn’t like voting with big cards? Moments later he realizes that there might a serious issue at stake, but he doesn’t want to distract the others with questions. So, he takes the time to write out an entire sentence on his card rather than potentially vote the wrong way.

Is he a hero for spoiling his own ballot in order to help facilitate the democratic process for others? Answering that question is an exercise I leave to you, dear reader. [June 2, 2011]
