Cartoon soundtrack: The rustling of beetle wings to the syncopated beat of dripping blood.

Ironic, not so funny. C+ work though..

Well, as usual, I love Bok's draftmanship. But does this particular cartoon bring the funny? Not so much.

That's not a Friday Funny, that's a Friday Political Tragedy cartoon. Let's face it, the idiots who buy these "green shoots" news stories are hopelessly ignorant.

"Hey, the rate of American's economic collapse has slowed! All Hail Obama!"

Mr. Alexander Tytler's predicition about the end of the American experiment is coming, rapidly.

I would have like to have seen Obama and Henry Hazlitt throwing a brick through a window.

Henry: That the 150,OOOth window, Mr. President.

Obama: I've created 150,000 jobs!

Henry: Um, yeah, about that...

Hey, Guy, that's actually not a bad idea at all.

Who are the three minions suppose to be. The vampire has a vague resemblance to Geithner. I can't place the other two.

Good artistry. Relevant. Not that insightful. Not funny.

Guy,

That might actualy be, well, funny. Can't have none of that around here. :)

Summers on the left, but I'm not sure about the middle (it's not Paulson). And the hair is wrong if it's supposed to be Rahm "Im'a Drop a Deuce" Emmanuel.

|6.19.09 @ 9:33AM|#

Wait...the guy on the left is not Larry Summers as I first thought, but rather Baron Harkonnen.

Summers, Emmanuel and Geithner.

But they look like they should be sinking their claws/tentacles into the globe and bleeding gold coins out of it to illustrate an editorial in Der Sturmer.

I keep waiting for the income tax repeal to be announced along with the number of jobs that saves. Ha!

Why are you such a hater, Chip?

I think you're on to something; what this cartoon needs is a baby, fresh from the oven, on a platter, with a big red apple in its mouth. Obama and his minions would need bibs and silverware, too.

Guy, those windows cost more than suits. Only the wealthy buy new suits. The suits are made overseas by brown peoples so the rich can make more filthy lucre. So, by all means, let's break more windows. (bill gates is doing his part)



ease up guys, I am parodying myself.

Wouldn't it be more honest to call this weekly feature "Friday Drawings"

Jonas|6.19.09 @ 10:54AM|#

A little too... direct, I think.

Paul|6.19.09 @ 12:32PM|#

It's too true to be funny.

Guy_Smiley|6.19.09 @ 1:02PM|#

People,

I drew it up!

And I just submitted it to Reason, and asked them to hire me.

"And I just submitted it to Reason, and asked them to hire me."

Potraying a colored man as a vandal is racist.
