This makes no sense. Who would take Mastercard from a guy wearing a barrel?
Fist of Etiquette|3.5.10 @ 7:36AM|#
anyone
The Art-P.O.G.|3.5.10 @ 7:44AM|#
A cooper or barrel salesperson.

Nancy Pelosi.

YOU FOOLS! You know damn well I was correcting the mistake in my original comment.
Good answers, though.
Fist of Etiquette|3.5.10 @ 7:49AM|#
I actually misread my original comment as "why would" instead of "who".
Goddammit.
ed|3.5.10 @ 7:50AM|#
Now I feel violated.
Fist of Etiquette|3.5.10 @ 8:55AM|#
Perfectly serviceable first comment shot to hell because I have trouble reading while driving. Although, to be fair, the kids in the back of this school bus tend to be extra distracting on Fridays.
@|3.5.10 @ 9:12AM|#
That was you driving the bus? By the way, that speed bump you hit was somebody's cat.

Wow - makes me wish I'd been following the situation in Greece so I'd really know just how not funny this is!
|3.5.10 @ 7:16AM|#
Well, it seems like continuing the tradition of horrible, unfunny Friday Funnies is alive and well. Good to know.
|3.5.10 @ 8:03AM|#
Hey, come on now, this is great. I think this is the first time in a month I have not awoken to come on H&R and find Drew Carey's bespectacled, Cleveland saving mug as the "new" post.
Mike Laursen|3.5.10 @ 1:06PM|#
Yeah, but in all fairness, if you got Drew Carey to make a series of videos for you, you wouldn't shut up about it, either.
The Art-P.O.G.|3.5.10 @ 7:34AM|#
Well, I really like the artwork, but the concept...it burns!
Mad Max|3.5.10 @ 7:51AM|#
The cartoonist should at least have used fake Greek instead of fake Latin. You know, Spendicles instead of Spendicus.
|3.5.10 @ 7:55AM|#
You are not an idiot.
Mad Max|3.5.10 @ 7:59AM|#
And the same to you.
|3.5.10 @ 8:44AM|#
No, you are a robot unicorn.
|3.5.10 @ 9:55AM|#
I am a telekinetic goldfish.
mr simple|3.5.10 @ 8:31AM|#
At least he didn't do that stupid gimmick of using sigmas as e's. I always hate that.
Still, pretty terrible.
BakedPenguin|3.5.10 @ 8:55AM|#
Like when they use the "ya" letter in Russian (Я) as "R". To anyone who knows the alphabet, it's annoying.
Œdipcus|3.5.10 @ 8:38AM|#
Yeah.
|3.5.10 @ 10:06AM|#
My first thought upon seeing the cartoon as well.
TheOtherSomeGuy|3.5.10 @ 8:53PM|#
It's ok, it matches the other inconsistency.
The Romans invented the wooden wine barrel.

100% packet loss.
Spendicus has a Latin suffix, but he forgot to draw pyramids in the background.

ANTISPENDING
[A Long-Lost Tragedy by Sophocles]
PRIME MINISTER OF GREECE: Lo, I shall spend and spend
And buy all sorts of cool stuff
For nothing could possibly go wrong!
CHORUS OF ECONOMISTS: Beware, Prime Minister,
You tempt the gods with your recklessness!
PRIME MINISTER: What care I for the gods?
All this free money is the answer to my prayers!
The gods can get stuffed!
CHORUS: Oh, woe! Your arrogance
Will bring disaster upon Greece!
Behold! Even now the gods descend to punish you!
EUROPA, GODDESS OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION (Descending onto the stage in a cloud) Prime Minister,
You have mocked the all-holy gods with your spendthrift ways
So receive your punishment: A stern warning
Plus a little more money to tide you over.
CHORUS: Hmmm . . . that wasn't as satisfying as I'd expected.
Mad Max|3.5.10 @ 8:17AM|#
EUROPA: Whee, I can spend as much as I want
And bail out the Greeks
And there will be no long-term consequences!
anarch|3.5.10 @ 8:41AM|#
You know what happened to Europa.
The Art-P.O.G.|3.5.10 @ 9:37AM|#
I like this play.
Not safe for productivity|3.5.10 @ 10:13AM|#
That should come with a warning. Too early in the day to read it ;-)
ΕΛΛΑΣ|3.5.10 @ 8:18AM|#
Spendicles will be the ruin of me.
Spoonman|3.5.10 @ 9:09AM|#
Spartacus was a Thracian anyways, so he wasn't even Greek.
|3.5.10 @ 9:18AM|#
That's not a Mastercard. He's indicating that he already had to sell three of the Olympic rings to make ends meet.
The Art-P.O.G.|3.5.10 @ 9:41AM|#
That extra layer of meaning would've actually made this cartoon funny. Maybe he should have left more negative space on the card, so he could later claim this is what he meant.
Frankyb|3.5.10 @ 10:14AM|#
Naahh, he only has 2 olympics rings left because the 3 others already fell into decay.
Byron|3.5.10 @ 9:19AM|#
Chip - was this even funny in your own head??
The Art-P.O.G.|3.5.10 @ 9:40AM|#
In defense of Bok, I think we're all familiar with the concept of deadlines.
chip's head|3.5.10 @ 10:47AM|#
Wow, I give a shit what Byron has to say;-)

Chip Bok is one of the funniest cartoonists contributing to Friday Funnies in America today.
chip of the old block|3.5.10 @ 10:15AM|#
Thank you daddy
The Art-P.O.G.|3.5.10 @ 10:16AM|#
Careful. You add any more qualifiers, you'll go over the limit of 65 teams.
Nitori Kawashiro|3.5.10 @ 11:45AM|#
They durk urr juuurbs!
|3.5.10 @ 4:12PM|#
Greece: just like California.
Kroneborge|3.5.10 @ 11:55AM|#
We shouldn't laugh, this is America is 5-10 years.
Broke, or more accurately bankrupt, and asking for a bailout. Of course we are to big for a bailout.
Maybe its funny, because if not the only other response it to cry?
|3.5.10 @ 12:00PM|#
Maybe if the guy in the barrel looked like Ahhh-nuhlt....

The worse the cartoon is, the better the comments.
Thanks Bok!

Without sounding like I am stating the obvious I assume that you are trying to teach us bloggers something with this post Liz. So I will say what I have learned and APPLIED from reading this site and this post.
