Theme: Vote Buying

Synopsis: Different timelines that committed wrongdoings by using their hands. 


A month-old human who had a teething ring.

Who learned the stunts—out of the mouths of babes.

His little cutie phalanges and mushy-flushed palmar.

They went close, open, close, open.

A trick that could take away the pacifier.


An exist-in earthling who had suffrage.

Yet, carried away in the solicit votes; 

His thick Palma and wrinkled Digits, 

It went grab and go, grab and go.

A scheme that could take away the gained rights. 


How sinful could a hand be?


Cartoonist: Justin Golloso
