He seems like ATS material in those comics you posted.

I've gone back and looked through a wide swath of his comics, and I am astonished how many references to proven and unknown conspiracy theories; both known and some truly underground he's put in there.

He has the usual Guerrilla News Network subversive urban media stuff in there, he has the anti new world order/Illuminati/mind control stuff in there, a hevay dose of 9/11 Truth and "acceptable leftist anti 9/11" stuff aplenty(ie: bush and oil, corruption, etc)

This guy has to be one of the first mainstream people to question if 9/11 was a government conspiracy:

The intelligence community failed. Security failed. The military failed. Everybody failed at the same time. I can be really nice to them and say, "You guys really messed up and need to check yourself." Or I could be not nice and say, "You know, I don't think it's really probable that all the systems can fail at the same time, which means something far more insidious took place." People are really afraid to get into that.

Early December 2001, a full 3 years practically before a lot of people started even entertaining the idea of a coverup or complicity.

He then goes on in the next paragraph to lay out, much like Alex Jones did, the American history of false flag, complicity and precedent for staged attacks:

I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they're idiots, and not that they had something far more nefarious in mind. However, history does teach us that the government has done things like that before, particularly with Pearl Harbor, where there's an overwhelming amount of evidence that [FDR] was aware of it and lured the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor. He literally left it undefended. There's some new evidence that has just come out about the CIA planning terrorist attacks on U.S. soil in the '60s and how they were going to set up Castro for it in order to get America behind a war in Cuba. That's not even a conspiracy theory. The CIA drew up the plans, even though it never happened. So if I were to go that route, I wouldn't be crazy. But I'm not going to go that route. I'm just going to say that the American people need to be concerned about what happens here. Forget what happens overseas. That's out of your control. Be concerned with what happens here.

This is edgy stuff for a mainstream comic strip personality to be saying, especially so soon after 9/11. I have no doubt he keeps up to date on the 9/11 Truth movement, conspiracy circles and alternative media and history.
