It goes without saying that having the black man sitting around and the white man represent the workforce is overtly racist, but other than that this one is a keeper. Good commentary. Good work.

  + Black man sitting up high like a monkey in a tree. Racist.
  
  + White man reading while black man throws writings in the ocean, insinuation is that the black man not only can't read but doesn't value an education. Racist.
  
  + Black man further away from water because he can't swim. Racist.
  
  + Platform is red as in redneck. Racist.
  
  + Large expanse of sky intended to make you think of space and therefore think of Black Holes. Racist.
  
  + Only white men care about jobs. Racist.
  
  + Anti-liberal bias. Double Racist.
  
  + Anti-Obama. Racist x Infinity.

    Not to mention that ROPE he's holding. The white man only knows how to do one thing with a rope...RACIST

It's been a long time since I was up early enough to comment on a Friday Funny, let alone a Bok version. I see that I've missed nothing, other than the timeliness with which to observe how terrible it is. Bok is like a Mary Worth cartoon with pretensions to contemporaneous significance, yet lacking even Mary Worth's track record of insipid banality mixed with crude soap operatic trivialities. Well done, Bok. You've given me, in my insomniac state, something to despise and detest. And that's something.

  Bok could never hope to achieve the level of significance of the Mary Worth strip in which Mary advises a friend to commit suicide.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Mornin' Epi. Gotta ferry to catch. Later.
1. Episiarch 15 years ago
  
  sage, can you give me your address? I'd like to crush your testicles in a vice, but I see that you're already emasculated by the fact that you have to take a ferry into Seattle every day. At least tell me which one so I can ridicule you for your transit choices. Bremerton? Bainbridge?

      I'm on the boat out of Kingston every morning. Sure, I'm not choking down diesel exhaust while speeding along at one miles an hour, but at least I have a yard.
      
      I must say, though, that the ferry is a good thing to ride on during the summer. Lots to look at, IYKWIM.
      1. Death Panelist 15 years ago
        
        I caught your meaning loud and clear on everything except what IYKWIM stands for.

        Eh, I'll see what I can do...and get away with.
  2. rustedangel 15 years ago
    
    How is riding a ferry emasculating? Is it because he's not driving? I avoid driving to work whenever I can because I work regular office hours and rush hour is soul-destroying and hard on your car.
    1. sage 15 years ago
      
      Epi's statement doesn't bother me. Hey Epi, if you want to crush my testicles I'll be at the Kitsap judo club from 6 - 8:30 tonight. You're welcome to do it there. Bring your gi. Randori starts around 7:45. 🙂
      1. Episiarch 15 years ago
        
        You huge fairy. Judo is for Karate Kid wannabes and overcompensating schmucks. Do you think I have the time to go to Kitsap?
        
        Seriously, though, email me, you idiot.
        
        sage 15 years ago
        
        I emailed you. It's from my hotmail acct.
        
        Pro Libertate 15 years ago
        
        From your secret lair in the Olympics?
        
        sage 15 years ago
        
        Sounds like a scam to me.
        
        Pro Libertate 15 years ago
        
        No, sage, a secret lair is never a scam. It's always cool.
        
        sage 15 years ago
        
        If I get one you are invited to check it out. But it would be a secret.
        
        Pro Libertate 15 years ago
        
        I believe there's a Mount Olympus in the Olympics, if you're scouting locations.

I really love the vengeful righteous elementary school teacher vibe this knee jerk reaction is giving off. One of the kids in "Offshore drilling class" shit on the floor, so now all the other kids have to sit in the corner instead of having snack time. The tragedy/silver lining(for fans of Schadenfreude) is that this will make it that much harder for the Barackonator to prove he has wrenched this country out of the recession/depression of 2008-?.

      1. Minister King Samir Shabazz 15 years ago
        
        I hate crackers !! Unless they are in soup. Alright, maybe with some cheese on them too or those crackers with the cheese baked in.But that's it,I really hate em. oh ya Smores are the worst you got them crackers forcing that oppressed chocolate to melt with the marshmallow. Just ain't right.

      1. Fatty Bolger 15 years ago
        
        It definitely had its moments. The large screen TV crowded out with ads and showing "Ow My Balls!" was hilarious. Come to think of it, "Ow My Balls!" was somewhat prophetic - look at the success of Wipeout.
        
        Butts Wagner 15 years ago
        
        America's Funniest Home Videos would be the zenith of "Ow My Balls!" in the present day.

    There were a few of those calls for sure. However a wise tweeter got in a Fair Tax tweet, and she pretty much agreed with me.

Obama's advice is good. A guy from the Village People trolling around an oil rig offering boat jobs isn't going to get many takers, but windmills are full of fags.
James 15 years ago

Can somebody explain the symbolism here? Why is the boat "jobs"? Why is Obama sitting on Drilling Ban II? What significance do the Court Rulings have in the meaning of the comic?
Brad Potts 15 years ago

Not funny and not even accurate.

They specifically addressed the issues the judge had with the original ban, as they attempted to make the ban less arbitrary and actually focus it on safety issues, rather than making a political point.
1. Fatty Bolger 15 years ago
  
  Yeah, *that's* what was wrong with the ban.
Lamar 15 years ago

I love how Obama is the one polluting the water and not the oil guy.
P Brooks 15 years ago

Bok can re-use this, later: just draw little George Washingtons on the pieces of paper, and turn Obama into Bernanke. And write "no" (jobs) on the boat.

So, there is no way she knows about any of the research you site or has any idea how the world outside her own bubble actually works. So cut her some slack.
