Rudy Park is a humorous topical cartoon that focuses on technology, politics, and the economy while still being able to fit in the absurd. Rudy was taken to court by a GPS system he insulted, The House of Java Cybercafe (the main setting of the strip) has been (repeatedly) visited by aliens, Dick Cheney appeared for a week in drag ...
