Wasn't there a discussion similar to that here on the Den?

Also, can you spoiler that? It's stretching out the whole thread.

So the Torah is Highlander. The New Testament is Highlander 2: The Quickening. The Quaran is Highlander 3: The Final Dimension. And the Book of Mormon is Highlander: The Source?

Short-Version: running jokes from a comic are being referenced to make fun of Trump and the Republican Party.

Long-Version: I think it helps if you have the preceding comic for context.

That said, probably a half-dozen or more comics have been devoted to establishing Cornelius Snarlington as a dangerous sociopath with delusions of grandeur. The Horace Greenstein is more of a running gag about the two's short-lived rivalry which ended in the owl's decapitation and subsequent adoption as... sidekick? Running mate?

Anyway, the author of Scenes From the Multiverse has been using these characters for a while on random, non-political comics. So when Trump became the ever escalating affront to common sense they are today, he tapped them to be part of his campaign of topical satire.

I also love the idea of using the GOP's "facts are for pinko liberal commies!" philosophy to replace the GOP candidate.
