Ah the first appearance of Chase. Well no one can say Mark is superficial when it comes to the guys he’s into (and I guess politics don’t play a part either)
Since this strip is a rerun from 1996, many current readers may be unaware of who Jesse Helms was (the guy that the “institute” was named for). Just picture an antediluvian Ted Cruz.
The late Bill Hicks, on Jesse Helms: You know, you just KNOW, anyone THAT far to the right is hiding some kind of dark secret. You know this, right? One day they’re gonna just find the skins of young children drying in Jesse’s attic. And on CNN, over and over, is gonna be Jesse’s wife going “I always wondered about Jesse’s collection of little shoes….”

Antediluvian: of or belonging to the time before the biblical Flood. HUMOROUS: ridiculously old-fashioned.

The Helms Institute for Antediluvian Studies is the source of countless policy initiatives these days.

Does “antediluvian” mean stone-age?
And can we please forget Jesse Helms ever existed?
