Yup. Humor is subjective, just like we already knew it to be. But, thanks for reminding us.

Toles can go hump a wet sock. I actually loathe him more than I did Herblock. Both are/were pandering fucks.

Meh

Mildly funny
fully relevant
crapy artwork

Grade: C-

Aren't Kelly cartoons actually funny because they lambaste Tom Toles?

Tuesday Funnies. Yay.

Funny until it happens.

Actually, this made me laugh. The bottom panel was invisible because I had not scrolled down enough yet, which helped.

Toles? Herblock? Have you ever seen the s**t that Tony Auth puts out at the Inquirer?

That cartoon is racist and obamaphobic.

the innominate one|9.1.09 @ 5:28PM|#

definitely funnier than any of the Friday Funnies

He mildly made fun of the Obama administration which means he will have to atone for this "sin" by doing his usual work of accusing soldiers of murder and comparing those who oppose Obama to the Klan for the next few weeks.

I'm not even laughing on the inside.

Well, I thought it was funny.

Hope it ain't a harbinger.Keep His hands off my Medicare !!!

Media Matters should be notified. This is clearly a hate toon.

That just might be his first funny one.

Perhaps the Koolaid's wearing off.

He scooped me on this one.

I thought it was funny. Definitely funnier than every other Friday Funny (not a slam on Bok, Payne or any of the others, it's just impossible to be "on" every 'toon in this format). Also, maybe Toles is getting more used to poking fun at the present administration, just like The Daily Show seemed to be last time I saw it (not a regular viewer).

And I meant for that lemma to be based on what Colin said.

I'm not sure that this should be interpretted as a poke at Obama.
