Mother Jones illustrator Zina Saunders creates editorial animations riffing on the political news and current events of the week.

*The Bizarro World is a fictional planet in the DC comics universe, introduced in the early 1960s and home to Bizarro and his companions, all of whom were initially Bizarro versions of Superman, Lois Lane and their children. In the Bizarro world of “Htrae” (“Earth” spelled backwards), society is ruled by the Bizarro Code, which states “Us do opposite of all Earthly things! Us hate beauty! Us love ugliness! Is big crime to make anything perfect on Bizarro World!” [Source: Wikipedia]
