  1. Suki   16 years ago

    Got a giggle from me.

  2. That Chick from OH   16 years ago

    Why, does the punch line have a comma?

    1. ed   16 years ago

      I, was wondering the same, thing.

    2. Untermensch   16 years ago

      Well, it is accurate to the way Obama puts pauses in strange places in his diction and then rushes through the rest of the sentence like he's trying to make up for pauses. <tinfoilhat>Maybe those are the moments he receives instruction from his robotic overlords in the sky.</tinfoilhat>

      1. TP   16 years ago

        Is that a "new" HTML attribute?

        1. Nick   16 years ago

          It is, but it's not accepted by the new and improved Hit & Run. Shocking.

          1. Untermensch   16 years ago

            I just know how to use &lt; and &gt in my writing to trick the system and make it show fake codes. Nothing more. If I didn't "escape" the < and > it wouldn't show up and those fake tags would have been deleted by H&R. So nothing shocking about it. Just need to know a little basic HTML trickery.

    3. FrBunny   16 years ago

      Because that's not Obama, it's special advisor Sitting Bull.

    4. David (not that one)   16 years ago

      Grammar fail.

    5. Reformed Republican   16 years ago

      The one on the left is named How.

  3. Naga Sadow   16 years ago

    Damn, suki. Don't you sleep? Well . . . head over to the Ft. Hood thread. I may have lost my temper a bit. Feel free to savage me with your response.

    1. Suki   16 years ago

      Done.

      1. Naga Sadow   16 years ago

        Cool. I responded in turn.

        1. Suki   16 years ago

          Left you some cryptic info.

          1. Naga Sadow   16 years ago

            I responded with equally cryptic negatives.

            1. Suki   16 years ago

              You need to revisit the thread.

  4. db   16 years ago

    I, dislike mistaken usages of the, comma.

  5. TheOtherSomeGuy   16 years ago

    That's hilarious.

  6. Some Guy   16 years ago

    Of course you could bring Bush into this, but I don't think, "I've pretty much been following all of Bush's policies on just about everything since I've been in office" is going ot play very well.

    Might as well rendition some people from tea parties and send them to Gitmo to show everyone you're tough on crime.

    1. JB   16 years ago

      I'd like to see him try. I really would.

  7. Fist, of Etiquette   16 years ago

    I suppose the comma was meant to show the President's halting speaking style.

    1. Groovus Maximus   16 years ago

      Sans teleprompter, of course.

      1. Etiquette, Fist of   16 years ago

        Bok's view isn't wide enough to make that determination.

  8. JW   16 years ago

    That's not a comma. The 'W' is spalling.

  9. JW   16 years ago

    What I want to know is: who is that woman supposed to be and what did she do to piss Bok off so much?

  10. Mango Punch   16 years ago

    +1
    Well done with this one.

  11. Warty   16 years ago

    Fuck, unnecessary commas.

    1. Naga Sadow   16 years ago

      Boosh!

  12. Untermensch   16 years ago

    This is actually an exception effort from Bok: It doesn't suck.

  13. FrBunny   16 years ago

    Both the guys Obama is talking to are sniffing their fingers. Gross.

    1. SugarFree   16 years ago

      Well, they have been fingerbanging the country for almost a whole year at this point.

      Sometimes you just have to step back and assess.

      1. Mary Jane Rottencrotch   16 years ago

        The days of finger fucking me through my pretty pink panties, ARE OVER!

  14. Xeones   16 years ago

    Bunny, at least they're not sniffing each others' fingers.

    Not bad, for once. Bok could really have won me over though if the reporter in the first panel had added "...and posting the answers on YouTube."

    1. Hugh Akston   16 years ago

      X, you speak my mind.

  15. JB   16 years ago

    This is what you get when you elect little bitch-boy to be president.

  16. Danny   16 years ago

    How do you blame something on Bush? Does this really require logic? I thought you could just blame it on Bush willy-nilly. Not that I care about the blaming of Bush -- just the dodging of blame by this administration.

  17. SugarFree   16 years ago

    What's with the extra first line in the first bubble? What was supposed to be there? What was censored?

    1. FrBunny   16 years ago

      "OH GOD! MY MIDDLE AND RING FINGERS! WHAT THE FU-- Oh, we're on?"

      1. Art-P.O.G.   16 years ago

        OK, that was funnier than the actual comic. Well done.

  18. John Galt   16 years ago

    ROR

  19. Some dude   16 years ago

    Just so I'm clear, which one is the "second stimulus"? Is it talking about Obama's second stimulus, which would be the third total stimulus, or is it talking about Obama's first stimulus which would be the "second stimulus" when taking into account Bush's stimulus?

    1. Sudden   16 years ago

      My take is that he is referring to his second stimulus, or the third overall stiumulus. Obama is out to prove that he can stimulate longer, harder, and more frequently than the wimpy stimulation of his predecessor. Simple Freudian stimulus envy

  20. Mister DNA   16 years ago

    Bok realized this cartoon was actually funny, so he added the extra comma to kick up the suckage to his usual standards.

    The man has a reputation to uphold, you know...

  21. Xeones   16 years ago

    The man has a reputation to uphold, you know...

    The English language is so limited. The word you needed there was "downhold." He has a reputation to downhold.

  22. P Brooks   16 years ago

    As a metaphor for man's constant yearning for validation in an cold, indifferent universe, I give it a "C".

  23. Paul   16 years ago

    Photoshop! Fake!

  24. Art-P.O.G.   16 years ago

    S'OK. I give it a B-.

  25. Pushkin   16 years ago

    I don't get it. Can someone explain the cartoon to me?

  26. 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..
