The Coloniser

Fuck it up and walk away
That's right folks, Lost Rocket is back with a brand new superhero.Well, technically he is not that new, but is the 46th reincarnation of a recurring character called 'The President'.
This long standing character has shown a decline in popularity over the last few years (if not decades), and it was decided to give him an overhaul. Gone is the gung ho self proclaimed ruler of the world, and in his place you find a weak character fighting for legitimacy. Sticking with the gritty realism that everyone seems to like these days, the new character has ailing powers, barely kept alive by a substance called 'The Dollar Standard' (TDS). TDS is a gold liquid, made from dollars, that has to be continually injected into his body via 2 canisters that he has to carry with him at all times. In constant fear that he will not have enough dollars he goes around the world selling weapons pretending to keep everyone safe. A truly troubled character.

Pictured below is a scene from Lost Rocket issue #345 titled 'For the women and children of Afghanistan and that human rights thing'.

Bolton & Pompeo's Last Stand
After watching the comedy duo's last stage performance, 'Laughing Stock', at the national theater last night I came away with the feeling that I might have witnessed the end of an era. Sure enough the gags were there, the comedy timing, the audience participation, in fact this was an authentic Bolton&Pompeo stage production.
So what is the problem you might ask? The problem is this sort of thing might have worked a decade or two ago, but times have changed and audiences with it. Even though I saw a few older people chuckle occasionally, the younger crowd was mostly unmoved.

For the most part there was very little new on offer, most of the material was just hack jobs of previous favourites. Titles like We Must Bomb Iran and They're Terrorist! sounded like they took WMD (from 2001) and just gave it a new title. Other old songs like We Bring Democracy, Pre-emptive War and We're Under Threat failed to get any reaction from the weary audience.

The end of an era, but maybe time to move on?

South African strongman finally faces justice
Former president Jacob Zuma appeared for the first time in court today after being captured last month at his controversial Nkandla homestead.
A frail looking Zuma was pushed into court in a wheelchair after injuries sustained during his arrest left him with a broken leg and cracked ribs. A packed courtroom erupted in chaos at the sight of the former strongman with news of his appearance spreading quickly to the jubilant thousands gathered outside the court. A strong police presence managed to control the angry crowd and calm was restored in court after 10 minutes.

The more than 700 charges were read out to Zuma who appeared dazed and confused throughout, his mouth open, small buckteeth protruding. He also appeared to be mumbling to no one in particular, staring vacantly into the distance. He was not asked to plead.
Zuma was arrested last month after weeks of mass protests throughout the country forced him to call in the army to bring an end to the protest. After the army refused to intervene, he fled to his Nkandla home. The news spread and soon there were crowds outide Nkandla. After being refused entry into the grounds the angry crowd overran security and stormed the home.
Eventually Zuma was found hiding in a drainpipe. Luckily members of the army was there to extract him as he was set upon by the angry mob. He was taken into protective custody and held until his court appearance today.

Bush finally brought to justice
George Bush, former president of the United States, has been executed at his Texas compound in the early hours of wednesday morning. The raid and final execution was the result of a joint international effort spanning months and carried out by Iraqi and Afghan special forces.
Bush has been an international fugitive since he was found guilty at the International Criminal Court for two wars of aggression against Iraq and Afghanistan. It has long been suspected that he was hiding in the United States, but an uncooperative US government has made it difficult for international investigators.

After an unknown source revealed that Bush was hiding in plain sight on his Texas ranch (he was living in an underground bunker and never left the house), Afghan and Iraqi governments decided to perform the raid without the knowledge of the US government.
Two special forces teams entered the US with the help of the Mexican government, crossing the border into Texas in two attack helicopters. Flying very close to the ground to avoid detection, the raid was scheduled for a night with very little moonlight.

Even though the purpose of the raid was only to kill Bush, 3 other people were also killed; two bodyguards and Barbara Bush (daughter) who startled the special forces agents as they entered the house.
Upon approaching the underground bunker Bush apparently stuck his head outside the door and realising what was happening, slammed the door shut. According to reports, upon entering the bunker bush was standing in his night gown pushing Laura Bush in front of him like a shield. As he tried to reach for a gun that was lying on the night stand, special forces opened fire, bullets striking him in the chest and head, killing him instantly. It was during this exchange that Laura Bush was injured.
According to Afghan officials the body was taken back over the border and buried in an unmarked grave in the Mexican desert so that "...his grave does not become a shrine." The attached image is the only evidence of the body.
