    Cartoon soundtrack: The rustling of beetle wings to the syncopated beat of dripping blood.

  2. domoarrigato   16 years ago

    Ironic, not so funny. C+ work though..

  3. Art-P.O.G.   16 years ago

    Well, as usual, I love Bok's draftmanship. But does this particular cartoon bring the funny? Not so much.

  4. Big Mike   16 years ago

    That's not a Friday Funny, that's a Friday Political Tragedy cartoon. Let's face it, the idiots who buy these "green shoots" news stories are hopelessly ignorant.

    "Hey, the rate of American's economic collapse has slowed! All Hail Obama!"

    Mr. Alexander Tytler's predicition about the end of the American experiment is coming, rapidly.

  5. ed   16 years ago

    I am amused.

  6. Wilson Teed   16 years ago

    LOL, dude that is totally hilarious!

    I would have like to have seen Obama and Henry Hazlitt throwing a brick through a window.

    Henry: That the 150,OOOth window, Mr. President.

    Obama: I've created 150,000 jobs!

    Henry: Um, yeah, about that...

  8. Art-P.O.G.   16 years ago

    Hey, Guy, that's actually not a bad idea at all.

  9. Warren   16 years ago

    Who are the three minions suppose to be. The vampire has a vague resemblance to Geithner. I can't place the other two.

    Good artistry. Relevant. Not that insightful. Not funny.
    C-

  10. Kris   16 years ago

    Guy,

    That might actualy be, well, funny. Can't have none of that around here. 🙂

  11. SugarFree   16 years ago

    Summers on the left, but I'm not sure about the middle (it's not Paulson). And the hair is wrong if it's supposed to be Rahm "Im'a Drop a Deuce" Emmanuel.

  12. SugarFree   16 years ago

    Wait...the guy on the left is not Larry Summers as I first thought, but rather Baron Harkonnen.

  13. Fascitis Necrotizante   16 years ago

    Summers, Emmanuel and Geithner.

    But they look like they should be sinking their claws/tentacles into the globe and bleeding gold coins out of it to illustrate an editorial in Der Sturmer.

  14. Rich   16 years ago

    I keep waiting for the income tax repeal to be announced along with the number of jobs that saves. Ha!

  15. P Brooks   16 years ago

    Why are you such a hater, Chip?

  16. P Brooks   16 years ago

    But they look like they should be sinking their claws/tentacles into the globe and bleeding gold coins out of it to illustrate an editorial in Der Sturmer.

    I think you're on to something; what this cartoon needs is a baby, fresh from the oven, on a platter, with a big red apple in its mouth. Obama and his minions would need bibs and silverware, too.

  17. brotherben   16 years ago

    Guy, those windows cost more than suits. Only the wealthy buy new suits. The suits are made overseas by brown peoples so the rich can make more filthy lucre. So, by all means, let's break more windows. (bill gates is doing his part)

    ease up guys, I am parodying myself.

  18. Gimlet   16 years ago

    Wouldn't it be more honest to call this weekly feature "Friday Drawings"

  19. Jonas   16 years ago

    A little too... direct, I think.

  20. Paul   16 years ago

    It's too true to be funny.

  21. Guy_Smiley   16 years ago

    People,

    I drew it up!

    And I just submitted it to Reason, and asked them to hire me.

  22. Paper Moon   16 years ago

    "And I just submitted it to Reason, and asked them to hire me."

    Potraying a colored man as a vandal is racist.

  23. Fascitis Necrotizante   16 years ago

    "Black man got a lot of problems/ But they don't mind throwing a brick"

  24. abercrombie milano   15 years ago

    My only point is that if you take the Bible straight, as I'm sure many of Reasons readers do, you will see a lot of the Old Testament stuff as absolutely insane. Even some cursory knowledge of Hebrew and doing some mathematics and logic will tell you that you really won't get the full deal by just doing regular skill english reading for those books. In other words, there's more to the books of the Bible than most will ever grasp. I'm not concerned that Mr. Crumb will go to hell or anything crazy like that! It's just that he, like many types of religionists, seems to take it literally, take it straight...the Bible's books were not written by straight laced divinity students in 3 piece suits who white wash religious beliefs as if God made them with clothes on...the Bible's books were written by people with very different mindsets...in order to really get the Books of the Bible, you have to cultivate such a mindset, it's literally a labyrinth, that's no joke "Black man got a lot of problems/ But they don't mind throwing a brick"

  25. Scarpe Nike Italia   14 years ago

    is good
