    Ahh, the real Chip Bok has returned to the building. I thought he was on a roll, but that must have been his doppelganger.

  2. Jim Henley   17 years ago

    This one got all the way up to Wry Smile.

  3. *   17 years ago

    If I had ears like those, I’d be bitter too.

  4. It\'s still botched   17 years ago

    It should start “Lord knows, I’ve always believed…”. (or “As God as my witness”)

  5. Reinmoose   17 years ago

    Haha!
    I get it!
    It’s supposed to be funny because Barack Obama is an elitist!
    I give it a solid D+ (the plus is because I actually understand why it’s supposed to be funny)

    Seriously, did he just make this comic recently? Isn’t that statement about bitter individuals old news by now?

  6. Episiarch   17 years ago

    Super weak. One Friday I’d really like to actually smile, or–hope of hopes–laugh at one of these.

  7. Taktix?   17 years ago

    Booooooo!

    Boo this man!

    Boooooo!

  8. Nigel Watt   17 years ago

    These comics make me wish rotten eggs could be thrown over the internet.

  9. SugarFree   17 years ago

    Nigel,

    If you are just going to give million-dollar website ideas away for free…

  10. twistedmerkin   17 years ago

    Can we add “This week’s Friday Funny ain’t funny” to the drinking game? Or would that cause alcohol poisoning?

  11. ed   17 years ago

    This weekly feature requires a name change. What’s the term for ostensibly funny but not really funny? Tina Fey? I suggest they rename it the Friday Tina Fey.

  12. Josh   17 years ago

    I smiled.

  13. Shem   17 years ago

    Why do you keep using Chip Bok’s comics? Seriously, what’s the rationale there?

  14. twistedmerkin   17 years ago

    This magazine has sucked ever since I cancelled my subscription. Wait… did I do that right?

  15. LarryA   17 years ago

    This would be a lot funnier if O’B wasn’t so close to being POTUS.

  16. economist   17 years ago

    It would have been funnier if it showed Obama with his fingers crossed behind his back.

  17. DJEver   17 years ago

    Wow, even though I understood it…How delayed is this comic coming out? It might have warranted a smile, if it was at least timely. If anybody here enjoys political cartoons, I suggest hopping over to the Economist every friday. http://www.economist.com/daily/kallery/displayStory.cfm?story_id=11708961

    Got a bigger smile out of SF’s comment @ 9:23 than the comic.

  19. Eric Atkinson   17 years ago

    Its funny to me because it’s true. Our next CNC will likely be an Obamanation.

  20. Soda   17 years ago

    A 4th amendment cartoon might have been more timely.

  21. Eric Atkinson   17 years ago

    But there is some small hope my friends…check this out http://www.alphecca.com/?p=857

  22. mattcid   17 years ago

    We are and we do, B.O., we are and we do.

  23. NP   17 years ago

    Hmm… I actually thought this was one of the better ones by Bok. Maybe I’m too bitter to understand (or not) the humor.

  24. PapayaSF   17 years ago

    Suggested improvement, based on a comment read elsewhere: “I believe Americans have a constitutional right to bear arms, subject to reasonable restrictions. And all restrictions are reasonable.”

  25. jwh   17 years ago

    He really is a dick with ears…….
