Strip by: Sloublues

Steve: Join me, and we will rule Indiana as person and person and other person!
Oliver: Why do you want us, anyway?
Samantha: Yeah. You already have a clone army, a superweapon, and a sizable lead in the gubernatorial race.
Oliver: Thanks in no small part to your villainous threats!
-- FLASHBACK --
Steve {on TV}: . . . and if you do not accept me as your Supreme Overlord, I will place a terrible hex on the Cleveland Indians so that they never win a game again!
-- KCABHSALF --
Oliver: Admittedly, some of them were dumb.
Samantha: Cleveland's in Ohio, genius.
Oliver: Do you need someone to read maps for you? Is that it?
Steve: Look, maybe I just don't want to deal with all the paperwork!

The author writes:

Being the one in charge may sound fun, but if you're going with any plan more enlightened than "destroy whatever displeases me" then you need a system to keep your empire from falling apart, and that means forms and requisitions and org charts and quarterly reviews and on and on.

Samantha character sprites are David Birch's. So are Oliver sprites.
