5. Disclaimers

The Misfit Caucus is a satirical work of dramatized non-fiction. While we take extraordinary care to source and verify everything we publish (see /methodology), the comic is presented as creative editorial commentary, not as a substitute for primary news reporting or legal/political analysis. Opinions implied by character framing or narrative structure are creative interpretation, not assertions of fact about the real-world subjects depicted.
