        He no longer lived there, correct? It is implied that he just happens to be there?

          Yeah, Nixon had been out for a while by this time. Reagan would have been newly elected in '81, but Nixon probably wouldn’t have been able to publicly get anywhere close at the time, even though they were in the same party.

            Huh, interesting. I wonder why he’s in the comic, then.

              Because he was a power-mad heel that would have loved to keep being president indefinitely, if the threat of impeachment for illegal activities hadn’t caused him to resign.

          Correct, he was out in ‘74 and this is ‘81. I believe Regan was president at the time of this strip.
