Politics: There’s A New Outsider Artist On the Scene…
…and he loves paved roads. In the tradition of Henry Darger, Adolf Wölfli, and other crazy folk artists, I mean, outsider artists, Oklahoma County Commissioner Brent Rinehart has launched his campaign for re-election with a daring self-published graphic novella, the likes of which you may have seen at Baltimore’s American Visionary Museum. Good luck, Brent!

This comic book attacks a political candidate that my day job endorses (“Jim Roth is our leader”).
I’m from Oklahoma, and… i haven’t been back in 2+ years.
Here’s a response by good ol’ Brent Rinehart, who apparently doesn’t know what homophobia is – http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/07/21/seg.rinehart.comic.book.cnn?iref=24hours
Update: Rinehart, the incumbent, came in 3rd in the three-way race for Commissioner. He’s outta politics, and now faces felony campaign corruption charges. booyah!
