In Jenkem’s first foray into international diplomacy, we teamed up with our French friends at Cliché to hold a trilateral peace negotiation between the leaders of the United States, Russia, and North Korea. The geopolitical situation has never been more tense between these three nations, so someone needed to step in to prevent the impending global catastrophe.
Once we managed to get US President Barack Obama, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the DPRK’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un together into the same room with a couple of skateboards and a bottle of fresh jenkem, the problems between these powers just evaporated into thin air.
While there were no cameras allowed in the room during the actual signing of the Jenkem Trilateral Peace Treaty, we had famed skateboard-illustrator Sean Cliver there to document the moment via pen and ink. But the party wasn’t over for Obama, Putin, and Kim after our peace talks. They took to the town with our camera crew to show off their new spirit of international cooperation. So, to all those wondering why we can’t all just be friends? We can, as long as there’s a couple of skateboards and enough jenkem to go around.

First changing Mount McKinley to Denali, now this? Do your Job Mr President! The President should be worrying about the radical jihadists in ISIS who are gaining land and power everyday as they enslave, rape, and murder their way through the Middle East, but instead he worries about renaming a mountain and skateboarding with Putin and Kim Jong Un. By the way, no one is buying the “Denali is what the Alaskans have called it for years” line. I’ve never called the mountain Denali, and neither does anyone I know, It’s Mt. Mckinley.
