ABOUT THE ARTIST (not Hunter Biden, who is pictured above)
David Keene is a surly misanthrope who came of age in the 1960’s and remembers only fleeting bits of arcane trivia since that era. His parody-laden comic books constitute a rather pathetic and largely unsuccessful attempt to make sense of said pathos. No animals have been harmed in the making of these comics, except for one unfortunate and very persistent fly. Quaayleludes regrets the error.
Any resemblance in these "works" to any real person, living or dead, is highly unlikely.
Q. WHAT (TF) IS QUAAYLELUDES?
A. The sobriquet “Quaayleludes”, and its various alternative spellings, came into being in the late 1980’s, when a certain young, obscure, deer-in-the-headlights Senator from Indiana was suddenly, and for no apparent reason, thrust into the national arena. Despite his having absolutely no political skills, this laconic back-bencher was actually elected to the Vice-Presidency of the United States. I refer to the pride of DePauw University, J. Danforth Quayle.
"Quaayludes" is, of course, a play on words referencing his sir name and the trade name for a designer narcotic popular in that era (Methaqualone), which was only made illegal in the U.S. in 1984, after most of the damage had been done. This drug was lauded for its calming influence on the user. Indeed, the name Quaalude translates to “quiet interlude.” Anyway, said narcotic appeared to fit nicely with the uber-relaxed, molasses-paced, mannerisms of the man who served as vice-president of the United States from 1989 to 1993.
Now, as Quayle’s legacy as the weakest and most inept individual to hold the most obscure and irrelevant job in America appears to be in some jeopardy, it is appropriate that we grant our hero one last hurrah. So here it is.
As for HOW the said slothful underachiever bumbled into such a position of power, that topic is explored in the original comic book- um, I mean, important historical treatise, “The UnauthorizedAutobiography of a Really High Governmental Official,” which is available along with its many progeny and bastardized cousins in our new two-volume coffee table set. So buy it, already.
