When I read this comic now I cringe. Jokes about killing the president seemed edgy to me at the time but they just seem beyond dumb now. I am not sure if Hank actually pulls it off either. The comic leaves it up to interpretation, which is possibly the most interesting part of this strip. I don't think it actually happens though because Hank isn't a murderer. The series was early and I am certain I wasn't thinking too much about what Hank would or wouldn't do. On one hand it's funny for someone to always do what you are told. On the other hand Hank has a personality and it's not of an unthinking assassin.
Or maybe I am reading way more into this episode and it's just to LULZ or not to LULZ?
Hank The Squirrel is a web comic created in 1999 that nobody read. It's a copy+paste explosion of non sequitur humor and bad child-like art that may upset you. Thankfully you can be happy by not reading them which won't be your salvation as the coming global apocalypse shall render all that obsolete. But as Hank might write on his sign "I prefer to be optimistic."
