Bernanke makes such a habit of bringing other people into the bathroom with him that his wife felt it necessary to check? She should be more concerned that he keeps a stove pipe hat in there and is playing with her lipstick. Also, anti-semitic!

Otherwise, acceptable.

      Ah, libertarians must be racists. That's why we don't agree with Obama. Got it.

    I am relatively near Joshua Corning's home...it would not be hard for him to come get me and impale me in Ben's dark heart.

        Bullshit favoritism and you guys secret blogs away from reason.com and inside jokes are bullshit.

Why did he write "buy bonds" backwards on his shirt?

  You win the Sherlock Holmes award for observational skills for that one, JoshNHB!

    You see, but you do not observe.
2. snortimer 14 years ago
  
  He wrote it on the mirror.
  
  The real question is why he's standing at an angle to his own reflection. It's almost as if he knows the 'camera' is there.
Almanian 14 years ago

Meh. Apparently, the death of the Friday Funnies - about which I posted sometime back - was, in hindsight, greatly exaggerated. But shouldn't it be.

When you think about it, most editorial cartoons aren't more than mildly amusing. Then there's Tony Auth's crap in the Phila. Inkwire - so bad and biased I refuse to buy the paper.

    Spoonman, I know you missed me 😉

      Hey Dan - everyone misses you. But their aim is getting better.

Also, where the fuck are the morning links? I have some upcoming-riots-in-China news I think is interesting.

It's been a long time since I was up early enough to check the Friday Funnies, and now I know why I don't give a shit. His name is Chip Bok.

  I'd say, "If it's so easy, do it yourself," but Hit & Run unwisely took away our ability to post in-line images in the comments section.
  
  So, no comment.

I thought Ben's face in the first panel was funny.

Is that Bernanke? Why does he have gills? Is there something (else) they're not telling us?

Ben's face in the first panel was funny
Francesco Sinibaldi 14 years ago

With hair falling over the shoulders.

In the soft
chirping of
the new day
there's a delicate
quietness, and
even a fantasy,
like a velvety
flight in the
sound of a word.
