    hmm, the joke being that water boarding is more sensitive than Valerie ? Otherwise, I’m lost.

  2. John-David   17 years ago

    I think the joke is that both liberals and conservatives only care about protecting the identities of covert CIA agents when it is politically convenient.

  3. Episiarch   17 years ago

    Why can’t Bok make a joke that…makes sense? I want to like it, but I just can’t.

  4. joe   17 years ago

    This gives me a great idea: maybe if I type the phrase “soccer mom” 76,000 times, it will make people stop caring about torture!

  5. Reinmoose   17 years ago

    Why can’t Bok make a joke that…makes sense? I want to like it, but I just can’t.

    Same

    Why can’t Bok make a joke that…makes sense? I want to like it, but I just can’t.

    Yeah, he seems to be missing a middle panel that would tie the whole thing together.

    Oooo. good band name:

    Chip Bok and the Phantom Panel

  7. Marcvs   17 years ago

    I think the answer is that Chip Bok just isn’t a good editorial cartoonist.

  8. kebko   17 years ago

    Geez, guys. I like it.

  9. joe   17 years ago

    Could you explain it?

  11. de stijl   17 years ago

    It’s kinda like the Sunday Mark Trail which mostly consists of still lifes of cute woodland critters. Is it supposed to be a zen thing?

  12. Episiarch   17 years ago

    Could you explain it?

    Yeah, please do. I’d love to know that the hell it is supposed to mean.

  13. Chip Bok\'s #1 Fan   17 years ago

    Chip Bok received the National Cartoonist Society Editorial Cartoon Award in 1995 and 1999.

  14. ed   17 years ago

    He named his son Chip. He’s a Chip off the old Bok.
    (sorry)

  15. KingHarvest   17 years ago

    Is that supposed to be (covert) Cheney exclaiming at the television?

  16. Marcvs   17 years ago

    Chip Bok received the National Cartoonist Society Editorial Cartoon Award in 1995 and 1999.

    So what? Awards are given away all the time to mediocre talents (cf. Grammys, Oscars, etc). It doesn’t change the fact that he sucks right now.

  17. Derek   17 years ago

    I guess I’m the only one that caught the Mystery Science Theater 3000 reference (Keep circulating the tapes).

    C’mon guys, if you have to explain the humor of something, it immediately loses all humor anyway. If you don’t get it, just move along.
