Comic: Politics

La Politique

As expected, right-wing candidate Marine Le Pen was eliminated in the first round of French presidential election voting.

Both candidates want Le Pen's xenophobic supporters, and they'll go as low as it takes to win them over.

Roberto De Vido writes cartoons and comics about politics, sports (and life) from a small fishing and farming village an hour southwest of Tokyo.
