I sort of get that that's what it's trying to be, but I feel like the comic does a poor job of conveying that. The last panel should be something that demonstrates how their life is affected by politics. But it doesn't. It just zooms out further without showing anything new.

They’re in floaties in the water. The last panel shows that the water they’re in, is in fact politics. The word politics is labelling the water that they’re in.

OH!

That was not clearly depicted.

Thanks.

' Did not see that's what it was trying to do. To me it red like it was just stamping "politics" there, like that's a summation of what politics is.

That is…a really weak presentation.

I would've never understood that it's a label on the water if it weren't for your explanation. I second that it's conveyed rather suboptimally
