Congratulations Bok, you've reached a new high in laughter prevention science.

And now for something completely different:

Vote for Rich Whitey! It's funny because it's true.
1. waffles 15 years ago
  
  rich whitey will probably get more votes than richard whitney
2. Rich 15 years ago
  
  That crackered me up!

    You'd think Rich Whitey would be running on a major party instead of Green Party ticket. Or maybe as an independent.
3. Kelvin 15 years ago
  
  Rich Whitey 2012!

    I'm ready! Oops, I missed my anti-psychotic meds. Oh, well, they can wait.

Thought bubbles are the cartoonist's crutch. Think about it.

  Chip Bok seems more in need of a Stephen Hawking type wheelchair than a crutch.

  This one needs footnotes.
3. Juice 15 years ago
  
  Another crutch are the little labels. In this case the "Phelps" label is totally unnecessary.
  
  If someone can't tell from the cartoon who's who, then it needs to be redrawn.
  
  I think the "God Hates Fags" signs were more than enough to determine who was holding them.

Wheres do I vote?
Good morning reason.
1. Jerry 15 years ago
  
  He said there is not enough time before the election to reprogram the voting machines.
  
  Lol.
2. Rich 15 years ago
  
  Suki, I can't believe you had cosmetic eye surgery. 8-( Not too bad, though.
3. Mr. FIFY 15 years ago
  
  Yum.
  
  OTOH, she's way overdressed.

Not approaching funny.

Chip, at first I was like "wat" then "hrmm", finally just staring into space.
1. Rich 15 years ago
  
  The [Hustler v Falwell] decision clarified that public figures cannot recover damages for "intentional infliction of emotional distress" based on parodies.
  
  Too bad you're a public figure, waffles.
  1. heller 15 years ago
    
    Rich Whitey?

Supreme Court cases are such a rich mine for humor.

Meh heh heh. S'OK.

F is for Fail. I am normally a moderately generous grader, but this one stinks.

Well, it's funny, you see, because the devout Christian Phelps is counting on God to guide the SCOTUS in his favor... the same court that said Larry Flynt can publish porn, including Gay porn.

Never mind...
1. Kathy Kinsley 15 years ago
  
  Indeed. As it should have. And it should do the same for the Phelps nutcase.
  
  And anyone who wants to stand across the street from his sickos holding signs saying "Fred Phelps is gay."
  
  Free speech is free speech.
  
  And I did find the cartoon funny. 🙂
Phil 15 years ago

Larry Flynt was and is a fat, greasy goober.

  Only a spammer would complement the comic.
  1. Bee Tagger 15 years ago
    
    Is this some sort of commentary on spammers' free speech rights?
    
    Or did you misspell compliment?
    1. capitol l 15 years ago
      
      Misspelled compliment for the like thousandth time in two days...I hate you words!
2. capitol l 15 years ago
  
  I guess you fit right in with a guy that signs his 'toon with TWO website plugs.
  1. Fist of Etiquette 15 years ago
    
    C'mon, General. You have to admit that the phrase "bokbluster" may be the cleverest thing Friday Funnies has ever offered you.
    1. capitol l 15 years ago
      
      Who is this "General" that you speak of?
Warty 15 years ago

What? Seriously, Bok, what?
