Opus' greatest fear

Today I got out of bed, made my breakfast and started reading the newspaper. Of course for me, reading the newspaper means going straight for the comics, as I did this very morning. One of my favorite comics is Opus the sweet, sarcastic little penguin whose daily life reflects the faux pas of today's society; and today I laughed especially hard.
The comic starts off with Opus asleep in his bed. He is awoken by his kindergarden librarian who reminds him that he still has to pay his late fee for a book that he had not returned. Opus asks how much it is and she tells him. At the same time, a bullet comes flying past our friendly penguin from somewhere off the panel. Opus kindly asks the fear to stop attacking as his more formidable fear, the librarian has currently beat the former fear to the punch. Hearing this the second fear attacks the librarian "Not the taser!" Opus cries, but it is too late. The second fear comes into the room and Opus introduces Hillary Clinton, dressed in war gear and a gas mask to the librarian.
I find this comic appealing for several reasons. Firstly, I have little respect for Hillary as a presidential candidate. She may be a senator, but if she cannot work out her personal life effectively, how is she supposed to run the nation? Secondly, that Opus finds his librarian a bigger threat than hillary is an interesting comparison. He shows that he is afraid of Hillary running the country and at the same time shows Hillary's stubborness in being his second worst fear. Her determination seems to come out boldly in this comic. The fact that you cannot see her face is yet another interesting point. What does this mean symbolically for hillary? that her friendliness and charisma are a disguise for the stubborn and aggressive woman she really is?
This is why the comic Opus itself is also particularly interesting to read. It forces its audience to think while at the same time it does it in a manner that is funny and ambiguous. It just goes to show that the best place to read this comic is where it is now: in the newspaper.
