    Cute.

    Good morning reason!

  2. the power of one   15 years ago

    True but not funny.

  3. Lost_In_Translation   15 years ago

    Good morning Suki!

    1. Suki   15 years ago

      Good morning LIT!

      In other news, Bin Laden goes Liberaltarian in his latest audio release.

      1. Ayn_Randian   15 years ago

        FakeAsianRedneckTroll is a redneck.

  4. Fist of Etiquette   15 years ago

    BAM! You've just been bokked.

    1. Suki   15 years ago

      +1 and another +.5 for the Emeril touch.

      1. db   15 years ago

        You only kicked him up half a notch?

      2. EscapedWestOfTheBigMuddy   15 years ago

        Emeril would be almost tolerable if he would give up that shtick.

  5. Nicky Diaz   15 years ago

    Waaaah! Won't somebody think of all the other Nickys in the wo--

    Gloria: Nicky!

    Nicky: [sniff] Si?

    Gloria: Show's over. Time to go.

  6. y   15 years ago

    I come here on Fridays just to complain about the cartoons.

  7. Joe M   15 years ago

    Well if Mr. Fancypants Martini would cut down on the booze, he'd have the money to pay for those pensions.

  8. JoshINHB   15 years ago

    Karl rove is just pissed that chicks don't like political hack pussies.

  9. Mister DNA   15 years ago

    Is "wiped out" a synonym for "cockblocked"?

  10. .   15 years ago

    Clever, but not especially funny.

  11. Jen   15 years ago

    It actually made me chuckle today. Chip's getting better.

    1. Rich   15 years ago

      I agree. It's just a matter of time before one of his creations is in The Week's "Pick of the week's cartoons".

  12. Rich   15 years ago

    I'm afraid of being wiped out by a double dip.

    Well, from the looks of you, ice cream should be a no-no anyway.

  13. Puff-pass   15 years ago

    Why are Karl Rove and Barack Obama breakfasting together?

  14. sage   15 years ago

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  15. creech   15 years ago

    I don't care about double or triple dipping per se. Lots of private sector workers are vested at a series of employers. No, the obscenity is the amount of the public pensions where the comp in retirement comes close to or exceeds 100% of the person's base pay.

    1. TANSTAAFLusa   15 years ago

      Yeah, but I am not forced to pay for those pensions and salaries in the private sector - I am forced to pay for those in the Public sector. So yes, it is an obscenity...

  16. Sean Mack   15 years ago

    You can't blame Chip - there's just something about libertarian rationalism that makes us not very funny - excepting all the Algonquin round table quips in this section, of course.

    Maybe you can't get laughs in a political cartoon when you DON'T simply smear your opposition as crazy, stupid, or evil.

    It's something I accepted when I moved to this corner of the Nolan Chart: I will never find myself surrounded by beautiful, giggling women at a cocktail party, as I deliver the punchline: "Now that's what I call public choice. Hahahaha!"

    Maybe the Nick Gillespie style smirk-but-not-laugh witticism is really all there is for us.

    1. Sean   15 years ago

      I think the answer is the same one they suggested in Stop Being A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood. Progressive liberals have been fucking us over for so long, we should just start returning the favor!

    2. RS   15 years ago

      What if the dialogue started to come from the Commentariat?

  17. Jaybird   15 years ago

    Keep it to one panel! This ain't the New Yorker.

  18. Almanian   15 years ago

    I came. I saw. I didn't laugh.

    Thanks for trying.

    1. heller   15 years ago

      I came.

      Bok can have that effect on people.

  19. Jorj X. McKie   15 years ago

    Has anyone ever actually "laughed" at a political cartoon? Maybe the old ones, where everyone looked like Porky Pig.

  20. Lamar   15 years ago

    The reason this isn't funny is because it goes after the wrong target. Fat slob county worker is just following the rules that were in place when he signed up for the job and pension.

    I would have drawn a game show host asking:

    What is the definition of double dipping?

    1. Leaving early after having come in late.
    2. Requiring twice the funding for simple tasks.
    3. Receiving a pension while still working.
    4. Doling out government contracts then going to work for the recipients of those contracts.

    Then I would have our "county gov" guy with a boner in sweatpants saying, "Yes, Jim, the correct answer is YES!"

    Of course, I'm not funny either.

    1. Sean Mack   15 years ago

      That's just what I'm saying: there is something funny in there somewhere, but none of us is likely to find it.

      I would've suggested a Jewish mother admonishing her daughter: "Why run around with some cardiologist who's living paycheck to paycheck, when a girl with your looks could easily land herself a retired civil servant?"

      But, you know, it's still not funny, and I don't know how to draw.

    2. El Duderino   15 years ago

      Or the county gov guy with his sweatpants boner humping the "citizens" leg while Obama stuffs county gov guys pockets, which will also make it look like Obama is jacking the guy off while his hands are still in his pants presumably stuffing cash.

      Of course I am not an artist either.

      1. DADIODADDY   15 years ago

        or funny apparently....

      2. dk   15 years ago

        LOL @ "sweatpants boner"

  21. Jim   15 years ago

    If being a government employee means getting that sweet chain and shirt, sign me up!

    I would think he would prefer a beer to a Tom Collins.

    1. El Duderino   15 years ago

      Plus that chick has a nice rack. . . despite being a bit baggy.

  22. Henry   15 years ago

    Get a life Suki!

    1. DADIODADDY   15 years ago

      or a rack>>>

  23. DADIODADDY   15 years ago

    ashould have been ...VV

  24. nfl jerseys   15 years ago

  25. Timothy   15 years ago

    With the adquisition of Marvel by Disney, I?ve seen the Goofy/Spider Man quite a lot recently, though I did not know who drew it. Nice!ugg shoe

  26. nike shoes UK   14 years ago
