If Tip’s a woman of color, Sweetheart can be American. Or simply have taken over the shadow government and declared martial law. After all, she was designed to invade America, yes?
I think that “prop 34” stuff was just California, meaning that not being human would have been another problem in Sweetheart’s home universe. This is somewhere else, though.
President Sweetheart for sure. I seem to remember her complaining that room service didn’t salt the rim of her bathtub once. The margarita contest is the give-a-way.
Given what we’ve seen of Sweetheart’s lie sure activities, and how she drowns her sorrows, she may actually have been training for this her whole life.
God, I hope that it’s President Tigerlily Jones.
Jones? Bureacracy? No way. Probably Sweetheart herself.
My thoughts exactly.
Bureaucracy gone ‘mad.’ MWHAHAHAHAHAHA WHO’S GOT THE FUNK NOW?
Tigerlily wouldn’t have anything to do with bureaucracy. Tigerlily prime, on the other hand?
“Him”?
Sweetheart said “him” – Joshua has made no reference to the President’s gender.
If the Screwfly plague hit DC, yeah, likely, “her.”
Or it could just be habit. The U.S. Presidents in our universe have all been male so far.
You don’t have any suspicions about any of them? Some of that late 19th century face fungus looks too flamboyant to be real …
I wonder……. President Kelly, maybe? Or President Narbon? Or maybe even President Davenport? Oooh……
I think Sweetheart is about to meet her match. Literally.
Dangit, quit making me want to reread Narbonic.
President Shovelhead
Oh, please /do/ let it be President Melody Wildflower Kelly.
When the plague hit, no one else was better equipped to seize power.
I’m really hoping it’s President Mell.
So do I. I’m re-reading Narbonic for the third time…
Oh wow; the site’s back up!
“I’ll wax him like a hardwood floor.”
I like that! May I borrow it?
Considering how much gag material comes from me “taking inspiration” (read: borrowing) from other authors, by all means.
President Sweethearrt, of course. Or did we already establish alternate Sweetheart in this timeline?
Not eligible, both because she’s Canadian by birth and I’m fairly certain too young by a couple of decades.
Unless they are ignoring the Constitution even more than usual. ^_^

“Designed to conquer America” cinches this one for me

It’s quite possible that a constitutional amendment was passed. That could make her eligible to become president.
It is equally possible that the Canadian Provence Sweetheart was born in is now a U.S. State.
I like this too
Annexed, of course, at Sweetheart’s order to ALLOW her to become president.
Dog years, my friend. Age-wise, at least, Sweetheart would probably qualify by now.
President Sweetheart for sure. I seem to remember her complaining that room service didn’t salt the rim of her bathtub once. The margarita contest is the give-a-way.
Truly this post apocalyptic wasteland gives each character a chance to put their greatest skills to the test.
It’s…pretty clearly going to be Alpha Sweetheart, drunk on power, bureaucracy, and tons of alcohol.
She gets to see her dark self and hopefully stop anasigma’s plans for her.
Oh hell, the president is going to have stripes, isn’t he?
That shiver that just ran down my spine? I’m going to name it after you.

Leisure, not lie sure. Stupid auto-correct.
No, it’s “pics of ship autocorrect.”
Come to think of it, when they say “what’s left of the government in DC,” maybe they don’t mean the District of Columbia.
DC Comics?
Please be Kelly, please be Kelly, please be President Mell Kelly…
