Separation of Church and State in the Funny Pages
I posted this over at IIDB, but I thought I'd see what everyone here thinks of it (plus there's more response here :D )

The comic strip Zack Hill has had an ongoing story line about CSS and specifically "Under God" in the Pledge including a public debate between two students on the issue.

The latest strip is here:

The story began here:
http://www.comics.com/creators/zack/archive/zack-20051003.html

Any thoughts on this? Also is anyone familiar with the author(s) and whether they are in favor of CSS or opposed?

4. Making fun of intelligence.
He's also addressing the issue as if it's harmless to impose saying "under God" while being brainwashed as they recite the pledge.
