Ziggy's lying, of course. He spouts bland populist talking points all the time, just like the characters in Pluggers and Shoe and The Family Circus. And that's fine! Cartoonists have every right to express their opinions. It would be nice, though, if they would acknowledge what they're doing.
With the exception of Pluggers, these cartoons all have more going on than the political, but the political is still there. Populism, after all, is a political position.
