Before you chow down on your glut of Election News here is some fun comics news, about the election!

To be specific, this story is about Gary Trudeau just calling the election (and everyon’e BS) and flat out making comics ahead of time (because that is how newpaper comics people work) that start with the premise that Obama wins!

Comic creator Garry Trudeau delivered a series of strips for next week’s papers showing his characters reacting to an Obama victory. But he offered no such option in the event of a comeback by John McCain, who’s trailing Obama in the polls.

Trudeau, who lives in New York, said he might have provided papers with a McCain option if the election were a toss-up. But, he said, at the time he drew the strip, poll analysts were giving McCain less than a 4 percent chance of winning.

“From a risk-assessment viewpoint, I felt comfortable with the odds,” Trudeau said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. “The way I see it, if Obama wins, I’m in the flow and commenting on an extraordinary phenomenon.

“If he loses, there’ll be such a national uproar that a blown call in a comic strip won’t be much noticed. Besides, I’ll be the one with the egg on my face _ not the editors.”
