The title of the comic is **"Dude Watchin' with the Brontës."** This comic features a conversation between two women and a man in Victorian attire, referencing the Brontë sisters. The women express their opinions about various characters, with one highlighting a man's lack of taste, while also commenting on romance and literature. The dialogue humorously critiques attitudes towards passion and propriety, ending with a focus on an enigmatic character who seems very brooding. The overall tone is witty and satirical. Here's the text from the panels: **Dude Watchin' with the Brontës."** 1.Charlotte: "What about that one?" 2. Gruff man "What the hell are you looking at?" 3. Emily: Nice. Charlotte: I know, right? Anne: That guy was an a**hole!" 4. Charlotte: "What about that one?" Emily: "Honestly, Anne, you have no taste!" Anne: I'm only telling the truth! 5. **Panel 5**: A dangerous looking man with a bottle of gin walks by. 6. Emily: So passionate Charlotte: so mysterious." Anne: "If you like alcoholic dickbags." 7. Emily: Anne you are so inappropriate. Charlotte: No wonder nobody buys your books." 8. Emily: "What about that one? Charlotte: So brooding." Anne looking away, cranky with her sisters.

"With the federal election fast approaching, many Australians have asked me: What role did Prime Minister Anthony Albanese truly play in bringing you home to Australia? Haven't Albo supporters overstated his involvement? And does Albo really have the backbone to stand up for Australians on other tough issues? The truth is, in what became an impressive field of advocates, Albo did more to secure my freedom than any other politician or public figureeven more than the late Pope, whose support was both moving and significant. Even while in opposition, Albo listened to the Australian public (and my family) and promised to take action. But talk from opposition is easy. What did he actually do when he became Prime Minister? Six previous prime ministers came and went during my long detention. Not one agreed to meet with my lawyers. In a crowded line up, Scott Morrison cut a particularly craven figure-publicly supporting my extradition to the US. After leaving office, Morrison joined US weapons contractor DYNE Maritime along with his mate, former CIA chief Mike Pompeo, who had openly boasted in his memoirs about orchestrating my detention. DYNE was set up to profit from the billions funneled into AUKUS, a program Morrison himself initiated. So, what about Albo? Against all expectations for an Australian politician, once elected, he kept his word. He personally and repeatedly raised my case with president Biden, and empowered Kevin Rudd in Washington and Stephen Smith in London to walk into meetings and say, “The Australian Prime Minister and the Australian people want him free.” Albo hasn't just stood up to the US to end the political imprisonment of an Australian-he's also intervened for other Australians detained in difficult circumstances, includi…
