It’s Iimi! A Large Serving of Mammon
It started out with the youth group discussing last week’s elections. It then moved on to the moral considerations Catholics must keep in mind if they want to put God first. Then, when Iimi admits she sometimes she gets perplexed by the Pope, the others are shocked. Is she having doubts about the Church? (TL:DR—No). These discussions come up as the country orders… A Large Serving of Mammon!
Pre-Comic Notes:
The Blog editor I'm using has some broken code. So, this comic had to be posted with the browser editor. Hopefully, some coding added to the site will make it look normal.
This comic was finalized before control of the Senate was finalized. The House is still not finalized. But, since this focuses on the Catholic moral concerns, that would not have impacted the final results.
I am very grateful to a webpage by Alkymyst that provided the needed code to post the pictures in a way that fits within the margins with no loss of quality

It’s Iimi! Old Classroom (A Song Parody)
On Election Day, Ms. Machen plans to push her agenda once again. Iimi must oppose her. A song parody set to the tune of “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X with Billy Ray Cyrus.
Preliminary notes: This is an “Earworm” comic. Sometimes, when I can’t get a song out of my head, I rewrite it to fit the comic. This is one of those songs. It should not be seen as any moral endorsement of the original song or the artist. I blame it on watching Remy and the Holderness Family on YouTube. The original song can be viewed at the end of the video.

It’s Iimi! Bug-Out Bag!
Relations between Kismetta and her family are at their lowest point. As the mistrust and hurt grow, Kismetta overhears things that make her fear her parents aren’t dealing honestly with her. This leaves her wondering if she needs to prepare a Bug Out Bag!
Post-Comic notes:
I actually went to some (English language) real-estate sites in the UAE. The seven-room house Sumeja mentioned was a real listing in Sharjah City at the time I was doing the research ($2.5M). It also has a maid room. Prices for this kind of property there were substantially cheaper than in Dubai (which have been skyrocketing with Russian oligarchs moving their wealth out of the country). But, as previously established, their family is wealthy.
