We get some scary premonitions from an animated series. An oaf and a juvenile delinquent prophesize our future with eerie and alarming accuracy. The fall of America forecast sarcastically by a Beat poet and facetiously by a cartoonist. The demagogue lined up and fostered by the secret handlers. The unwitting, unwashed masses buying into the con proffered by a snake oil salesman. They scream the slogans and false mantras and we wait for the caricature to be drawn. But sadly the cartoon dictator has a cult waiting to prop him up. We don’t need Halloween anymore. The reality is frightening enough.
