  2. Art-P.O.G.   16 years ago

    Cartooning is hard...

  3. brotherben   16 years ago

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    ha

  4. Art-P.O.G.   16 years ago

    It's time to bring Rob Liefeld and Cathy Guisewhite on board...

  5. Trav   16 years ago

    I just met Rob at the comicon in Seattle and had him sign some books. I even bought the new Youngblood with the Obama cover. There were a lot of interesting folks there. Two borg and a slave Leia, rawr.

  6. domoarrigato   16 years ago

    It doesn't totally suck?

  7. brotherben   16 years ago

    It is by far the funniest chip bik cartoon posted on Reason today.

  8. brotherben   16 years ago

    Yes. I'd like to buy a vowel. an O please.

  9. Ravac   16 years ago

    I wonder if Bok had made the pirates African, if he'd be accused of racism?

  10. Anonymous   16 years ago

    I get it. The pirates are white, so the navy takes action, whereas in real life when they're muslim and black, the government doesn't want to offend!

  11. Art-P.O.G.   16 years ago

    Note the astonished look on the pirate captain's face. This is well-illustrated, but would have been more engaging had Rob Liefeld illustrated it, because then the look on Pirate Captain (referred to from this point on as PC) would have had an intense look replete with jaw-clenching hyperdontia and superfluous wrinkles.

  12. Ravac   16 years ago

    Actually, if there'd been a little monkey on one of the pirate's shoulders, then it would be racist.

  13. Pants Fan   16 years ago

    Is this one any funnier?

    http://comics.com/marmaduke/2009-04-17/

  14. Suki   16 years ago

    Is the funny part hidden by the ads on the right margin?

  15. Suki   16 years ago

    Hi domo! Hi Art!

    Suki

  16. domoarrigato   16 years ago

    Hi Suki!

  17. Untermensch   16 years ago

    In line with Pants Fan, if you ever want to be convinced of the genius, absolute genius I tells ya, of Chip Box, look at the last panel of this Marmaduke comic:

    http://tinyurl.com/csvm4c

    After that a root canal would be amusing, and Chip Bok becomes a genius.

  18. Untermensch   16 years ago

    oops. Bok not Box, and here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/csvm4c

  19. Bronwyn   16 years ago

    Whenever I see Suki here, I think of The Saggy Baggy Elephant. Of course, his name is Sooki, but still...

    One-two-three, Kick!

    Er. Haha?

  20. cuernimus   16 years ago

    After reading those Marmadukes I thought to myself "Damn I should draw a cartoon about my oversized orange cat that sleeps a lot...wait a minute...FUCK YOU JIM DAVIS."

  21. Team America   16 years ago

    Bronwyn:"Whenever I see Suki here, I think of The Saggy Baggy Elephant. Of course, his name is Sooki, but still..."

    Who else is thinking "Me so horny! Me Suki, Suki!"?

  22. Bronwyn   16 years ago

    Er... I think that's just you.

  23. P Brooks   16 years ago

    The Navy only protects rich white men.

  24. Warty   16 years ago

    ...

  25. Lamar   16 years ago

    Pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel attached to his belt buckle. Bartender says, "what's that for"? Pirate says, "Arrrrh! It drives me nuts!"

  26. Anonymous   16 years ago

    Every time that whale bites me I get wood.

  27. Kolohe   16 years ago

    It explains the Hartford / New Orleans collision.

  28. Joel   16 years ago

    Oh, c'mon. This one was funny.

  29. PapayaSF   16 years ago

    Yeah, this was the first Bok I can remember that produced a real laugh, as opposed to the thought: "Ah, I see where the joke is."

  30. Ronctonculous   16 years ago

    He should have also included a shark with the stars and stripes on him, so you know that it is also against the Pirates, and written on that giant gun barrel should say "I have not yet begun to fight!" and maybe a bird who looks like Farragut saying "Damn the pirates, full speed ahead!" and then in the bottom corner a little Obama saying like "well they've forgotten about the recession/stimulus for the moment at least!" and back behind him would be Palin looking at an abortion clinic and a church saying 'eeny meeny miny...' and a little bird pointing to her (that maybe looks like Huffington) saying "Geez, dis lady sure wants dee spotlight!" and then somebody looking at the Huffington bird saying "Physician, heal thyself!"

    Get on it Bok, and post the revised comic later today.

  31. Anonymous   16 years ago

    Thanks, Ronctonculous, something on this page ought to make me laugh.

  32. Pirate Wannabe   16 years ago

    Not funny, Dude!

    srsly

    I peed myself (and not from laughing).

  33. Lamar   16 years ago

    I would have laughed if there was a sailor yelling from the ship:

    "Looks like you're the butt pirate now!"

  34. Art-P.O.G.   16 years ago

    (belated) Hi, Suki!

    Ronctonculous, that was genius.

  35. Paul   16 years ago

    Funny. Very nice. And it's a keeper because it illustrates how easy it is to defend against three ill-trained yahoos bobbing around in a dinghy.

  36. kevrob   16 years ago

    Why didn't Jack tar sing "hi-diddley-dee" instead of "yo-ho-ho?" Is Bok afraid of Disney?

    Kevin

  37. wingnutx   16 years ago

    What the hell happened to Pete Bagge?

    More Bagge, less of these other guys.

  38. economist   16 years ago

    Boring. Bring back Peter Bagge.

  39. David   16 years ago

    I thought that Libertarian's don't want overseas armed forces. If so what is that boat doing overseas??

  40. wingnutx   16 years ago

    I'm a "Heinlein Libertarian," so I'm down with exterminating pirates.

  41. Art-P.O.G.   16 years ago

    I wonder if Bok had made the pirates African, if he'd be accused of racism?

    I actually thought about that, and it seems a disproportionate amount of black people do get gunned down. On the other hand, the prime killers of black people worldwide would seem to be:

    1. Black people
    2. Cops
    ......
    11. BET
    ......
    437. The Navy

    But still, I could see why it would be a touchy subject.

  42. economist   16 years ago

    "I actually thought about that, and it seems a disproportionate amount of black people do get gunned down. On the other hand, the prime killers of black people worldwide would seem to be:

    1. Black people"

    You see, this just proves my point that Art P.O.G. is a rightwing white supremacist domestic terrorist!

  43. Art-P.O.G.   16 years ago

    You see, this just proves my point that Art P.O.G. is a rightwing white supremacist domestic terrorist!

    Sure, economist 😀

  44. engineer   16 years ago

    "I wonder if Bok had made the pirates African, if he'd be accused of racism?"

    Well, they did it on South Park. The whole episode was meh-entertaining.
