Here’s Neil Gaiman’s commencement speech for the University of the Arts. And if you’re interested in seeing the speech turned into a comic, Gavin Aung Than has already done that for you.

No, this isn’t about the news and opinion manufactured out of hot air over at Fox News, the official propaganda outlet of the Republican Party. It’s about Roger Ailes and a story he tells about how Jon Stewart once told him (Ailes) that he (Jon Stewart) is a socialist. This apparently happened twelve years ago in a bar in Philadelphia.
Now, I wouldn’t blame you for assuming that Ailes made the story up. That’s kind of a habit with him, at home and at work. Ailes doesn’t seem to notice whenever outside reality is different from his inside fantasy. (Hint: it’s a lot.)
