In this comic strip, a group of people in a town square are discussing the 2022 political cycle. In the first panel, one person is pointing to a television and saying, "Can you believe how much money was spent on political ads this year?". In the second panel, another person responds, "Wow, more than a presidential cycle! That's wild!"

In the third panel, a third person chimes in, "But�Democrats still outspent Republicans by $390M.�That's pretty impressive!". In the fourth panel, the�first person is shaking their head and saying "That’s�a lot of money on ads. No wonder it was the �most expensive midterm election on record."

Arrr, 'twas the most expensive midterm election ever seen,�with over $8.9B spent - nearin' the $10.0B threshold of a�presidential cycle - and Democrats outspendin' Republicans by�$390M. Broadcast television and cable held the lion's share of�ad spendin' at 73%, with CTV takin' 12%. As the election draws�closer, 'tis likely that CTV expenditures will rise and the divide�between Democrat and Republican spendin' will grow larger.
