The PVB has a history of taking real world and comic book world events and using them as fodder for its stories, either for a cheap laugh or serious commentary (and in the best case scenarios both).

Which brings us to America's recent Presidential election. I can say without hyperbole that the outcome of the race is the most surreal thing that's happened in my lifetime. Without getting too much into politics; a man who has been a punchline for over thirty years, who supposedly had no chance of becoming the "Leader of the Free World", just did.

So, yeah, the US's current political climate offers a lot of opportunity for parody. My question to the board is, do you have an opinion on what tack to take (or take to tack...le)? I have a couple of ideas personally, but thought to check and see if anyone else did before going through with my own plan and unilaterally setting the stage. All comments welcomed, and appreciated in advance.

I am fine with any approach, myself. I honestly don't know what to make of politics any longer. Perhaps I'm one of those liberals who is supposedly too insulated to have seen it coming, but I didn't think Trump could win the Republican nomination, let alone the general election.

Trump himself seems almost Parody-proof. How do you take him to absurd levels beyond what we have already seen?
