WEEK 365 / 367 — Twenty Million
Vol. 6 ·  Chapter 38 — Covfefe · Jun 7 – Jun 13, 2022
Manga panel 1 of 5, Week 365 “Twenty Million”: Thursday, nine o'clock, every network but one: the committee opens its televised case against him, to twenty million viewers.
ON THE NINTH, AT NINE IN THE EVENING, THE COMMITTEE OPENS ITS CASE. TWENTY MILLION ARE WATCHING.
Manga panel 2 of 5, Week 365 “Twenty Million”: Hours before airtime he posts five words in capitals — the whole defense, the whole campaign, the whole man, in one roar.
“MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Manga panel 3 of 5, Week 365 “Twenty Million”: He watches his own trial like a rival network's pilot and files his review: really bad ratings. Nineteen million, he rules, is a flop.
Really BAD T.V. Ratings for the Unselect Committee. Only 19,000,000 for at least 12 Networks, far lower than anticipated. I guess the American People don’t want to see one sided Witch Hunts…
Manga panel 4 of 5, Week 365 “Twenty Million”: The morning after the tape plays, the denial arrives with a pointed finger: he never said it, never thought it — a made-up story, or fake news.
I NEVER said, or even thought of saying, “Hang Mike Pence.” This is either a made up story by somebody looking to become a star, or FAKE NEWS!
Manga panel 5 of 5, Week 365 “Twenty Million”: His answer to the worst week of television is the number on every corner: the worst inflation print since 1981. I told you so, he files.
Just out, really bad CPI - 8.6%. Worst number since December, 1981. Employment numbers 6,000,000 lower than it should be! I told you so. Should never have happened!
HIS COUNTERPUNCH IS THE PRICE OF EVERYTHING.

This week in the saga

Thursday, nine o'clock, every network but one: the committee opens its televised case to twenty million viewers, and the man it is about answers the only way he answers television — hours before airtime, five words in capitals; the morning after, a pointed finger and a flat denial of the tape's worst line. In between he watches like a rival producer and files his review: nineteen million is a flop, really bad ratings. His counterpunch is the number on every corner — the worst inflation print since 1981. I told you so.
