[County Commissioner plans to send self-published comic to voters]
The 16-page publication prepared by Commissioner Brent Rinehart's re-election campaign lampoons gays and criticizes Rinehart's political opponents. It also features an angel who supports the embattled commissioner and Satan, who supports his critics...
Toga-wearing gays, political figures, trench coat-clad henchmen, concerned residents and Rinehart make up the rest of the comic's characters.
In one sequence,
Satan says: "If I can get the kids to believe homosexuality is normal!"
The angel replies: "Hey Satan, not with Brent around you won't!"
[Sheriff John] Whetsel is depicted on two pages. In one, a sequence alleging jailer abuse of inmates at the county jail is followed by Whetsel demanding taxpayer money so he can buy "more, more and more toys!"
Keith Gaddie, a University of Oklahoma political science professor, called the book "one of the strangest things" he'd ever seen.
"I've never seen a comic book with the phrase 'anal sodomy' in it before. That was a new one for me."
