Bernanke makes such a habit of bringing other people into the bathroom with him that his wife felt it necessary to check? She should be more concerned that he keeps a stove pipe hat in there and is playing with her lipstick. Also, anti-semitic!

Otherwise, acceptable.

Therefore not racist.

Good morning.

If you can, I can too.
Better Business Bureau gives Hamas an "A-" and Starbucks an "F".
Hamas girl: "In yo' face Hezbollah! BOOM!"
Barista: "F-you BBB, I'm not even a F'n member!"

Good morning Suki.

~~Heil~~ Good morning, ~~racists~~ Suki and other Reasonoids!

Ah, libertarians must be racists. That's why we don't agree with Obama. Got it.

All quantitative easing and no laissez faire makes Ben a dull boy.

Dude!|11.12.10 @ 7:13AM|#

Kinky!

Whatever.

robc|11.12.10 @ 7:56AM|#

Garfield wins.

robc|11.12.10 @ 7:57AM|#

As predicted yesterday.

PIRS|11.12.10 @ 8:29AM|#

Yes, this cartoon less likely to lead to a debate about the Kennewic Man!

hehe|11.12.10 @ 2:38PM|#

Prove it!

I am relatively near Joshua Corning's home...it would not be hard for him to come get me and impale me in Ben's dark heart.

And this time the violence will be motivated by government.

even Marmaduke is funnier

Howard Huge|11.12.10 @ 8:34AM|#

Hey, don't forget me!

Funniest thing from last week's Friday Funnies:

Shitty Friend|11.12.10 @ 8:30AM|#

link fail. Taking out the trash.

|11.12.10 @ 6:30PM|#

Why the fuck does RC Dean get his own category!?!?!

Bullshit favoritism and you guys secret blogs away from reason.com and inside jokes are bullshit.

How bleek

Mango Punch|11.12.10 @ 8:36AM|#

OMG! FRIDAY FUNNIEEEEEESS!!!! I've waited all week for this! And it's felt like an eternity!!! I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Ben Bernanke|11.12.10 @ 8:38AM|#

That's Dr. Bernanke! You'll be hearing from the IRS!

JoshINHB|11.12.10 @ 8:39AM|#

Why did he write "buy bonds" backwards on his shirt?

Almanian|11.12.10 @ 8:47AM|#

You win the Sherlock Holmes award for observational skills for that one, JoshNHB!

|11.12.10 @ 10:34AM|#

You see, but you do not observe.

snortimer|11.12.10 @ 2:41PM|#

He wrote it on the mirror.

The real question is why he's standing at an angle to his own reflection. It's almost as if he knows the 'camera' is there.

Almanian|11.12.10 @ 8:51AM|#

Meh. Apparently, the death of the Friday Funnies - about which I posted sometime back - was, in hindsight, greatly exaggerated. But shouldn't it be.

creech|11.12.10 @ 8:55AM|#

When you think about it, most editorial cartoons aren't more than mildly amusing. Then there's Tony Auth's crap in the Phila. Inkwire - so bad and biased I refuse to buy the paper.

Anomalous|11.12.10 @ 9:49AM|#

Or Tom Toles in the Wash. Post.

Spoonman.|11.12.10 @ 8:59AM|#

Why is there so much of rectal's blog spam?

Colon|11.12.10 @ 9:02AM|#

Beats the shit out of me!

a penny a day keeps Obama away|11.13.10 @ 5:09PM|#

Hey Dan - everyone misses you. But their aim is getting better.

Spoonman.|11.12.10 @ 9:09AM|#

Also, where the fuck are the morning links? I have some upcoming-riots-in-China news I think is interesting.

Mo|11.12.10 @ 9:10AM|#

This is somewhere between B.C. and Broom Hilda on the humorous comic scale.

|11.12.10 @ 9:16AM|#

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHA!

BeltwayLurker|11.12.10 @ 9:32AM|#

How many days left in th 8 day begathon? Who is independantly auditing this circus to make sure the torch icon is accurate?

|11.12.10 @ 10:29AM|#

It's been a long time since I was up early enough to check the Friday Funnies, and now I know why I don't give a shit. His name is Chip Bok.

|11.12.10 @ 11:02AM|#

I'd say, "If it's so easy, do it yourself," but Hit & Run unwisely took away our ability to post in-line images in the comments section.

So, no comment.

I thought Ben's face in the first panel was funny.

|11.12.10 @ 11:23AM|#

Is that Bernanke? Why does he have gills? Is there something (else) they're not telling us?

Fiscal Meth|11.12.10 @ 11:42AM|#

Bok Didn't even need a cartoon the header was funny enough.

"Ben Bernanke helps the economy"
