    Okay. Putin and Berlusconi holding hands, Gadhafi and his buxom nurse, a naked Sarkozy... Some actual thought was put into this one.

    It borders on clever. It flirts with well-done. It goes on the refrigerator door.

    1. Sy   15 years ago

      Yep, take off those unnecessary arrows, and I think we've got an NEA grant in the works.

      1. Matt Felch   15 years ago

        Seriously, I hate silly labels and arrows in political cartoons. Make the faces and characteristics of the World Leaders more detailed, over embellished, etc. and you wouldn't have to label them.

        1. Quiet Desperation   15 years ago

          Now, now. This is America, where we just found out that no one knows where Qatar is.

          It is, of course, the tiny asteroid where the Little Prince lives. Where they plan to put the soccer fields is anyone's guess.

          1. Mikey Bloomberg   15 years ago

            These cartoonists today... I bet a lot of them don't even have passports!

            1. Bucky   15 years ago

              hear'd they live in flyover country.

    2. vornline   14 years ago

      I think Putin is a very charismatic leader personality

  2. a penny a day keeps Obama away   15 years ago

    Borderline

  3. Kolohe   15 years ago

    Hey, a non-sucky Friday funny. I must have overslept; it's 2012 and the world is about to end.

  4. heller   15 years ago

    I'm in utter shock Bok. Congratulations on your first Friday Funny.

    1. Zeke   15 years ago

      "An inconvenient truth" with the scientist holding the candle underneath the thermometer wasn't bad. The arrows in this one kind of insult my intelligence.

      1. Zeke   15 years ago

        http://reason.com/assets/mc/jt.....ttruth.jpg

      2. heller   15 years ago

        That's not funny, I'm a scientist!

        1. Bucky   15 years ago

          a scientist without peer review is like...

          1. Fiscal Meth   15 years ago

            ...a jerk without a circle.

  5. emerson   15 years ago

    This post has more labels than a Kelly cartoon.

    1. Matt Felch   15 years ago

      But when Kelly does it, its making fun of comics like this that do it.

      Er, I think.. Maybe Kelly just isn't funny, and we're supposed to think he's making parodies....

  6. MikeP   15 years ago

    Where's the Swedish prosecutor?

  7. C. Montgomery Burns   15 years ago

    Eggcellent.

  8. Almanian   15 years ago

    ...but no "Barack Obama". So RACIST!!!

    Good morning, everyone.

    1. Patriot Mike   15 years ago

      Obama has no problem with this guy.

      1. O The Bama   15 years ago

        Let me be clear, you will still be able to read your Wikileaks...

  9. Joe M   15 years ago

    Yeah, not bad. We need the entire worldwide media establishment in the picture though.

    1. joshua corning   15 years ago

      Don't forget to add Tony and John.

  10. Shitty Friend   15 years ago

    Gotta give Bok props. Bok Props!

  11. Fatty Bolger   15 years ago

    Best FF so far? Great job on the caricatures, the labels aren't even necessary.

  12. Brian from Texas   15 years ago

    They forgot to include Rep. Peter King (R-NY) who wants to lock the Wikileaks people up in Guantanomo Bay.

    1. DAnna   15 years ago

      ....and Hillary, Holder...plus most of congress.

    2. Bucky   15 years ago

      don't you see. we're just not important on the world stage. hence, we (U.S.) don't appear ANYWHERE. even in a sucky little editorial cartoon.

  13. robc   15 years ago

    Best in a while.

    Todays xkcd was better and relates to postings from yesterday.

    1. x,y   15 years ago

      bahahahah, excellent

  14. robc   15 years ago

    Also, saw the following yesterday and thought it would be good for posting during Fridays Funnies. Unlike most OOTS, no need to understand the characters or plotline, its pretty self explanatory. Order of the Stick.

    For some reason, I figured that discussion would amuse some folks here.

  15. robc   15 years ago

    Just realized that 2/3rds of the online comics I follow involve stick figures.

    Huh.

    1. squarooticus   15 years ago

      When you're looking for something funny, it should be no surprise that "funny" is more important than "beautiful".

  16. Jen   15 years ago

    Heh. Not bad.

  17. generic Brand   15 years ago

    Why is Richard Nixon mad at Assange AND holding hands with Putin?

  18. NoStar   15 years ago

    Where is Newt Gingrich?

    1. Hundocumented   15 years ago

      where is Waldo? (sorry, I had to... I'll go stand in the corner now...)

  19. sage   15 years ago

    He at least needed to put the arrow over the Saudi King. Without it, I would have thought it was a Saudi prince about to sodomize Assange with that stick.

  20. sage   15 years ago

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  21. squarooticus   15 years ago

    This one's actually kind of good. Bravo.

  22. Mongo   15 years ago

    Wouldn't Assange blend in with the white background so there would only be an empty suit running ? la the Invisible Man...?

  23. Eric Gisin   15 years ago

    It would be funny if Assange ended up as a refugee in Cuba or Venezuala.

  24. El Duderino   15 years ago

    My favorite description yet:

    "Asange is the type of Dbag that would answer the door to his apartment wearing a turtleneck and nothing else."

    I paraphrased cause I cant remember the actual quote cause I am high and drunk... so pllplplpplllfff.... but it was stated by Greg Gutfeld on Red Eye... a god show with a lot of leg.

    1. El Duderino   15 years ago

      GOOD show with a lot of leg... it has very little to do with god... I promise.

  25. Francesco Sinibaldi   14 years ago

    Una rosa amada.

    Regalo el
    candor cuando
    el t?mido
    viento escucha
    la vida del
    nuevo sonido,
    como gotas
    de lluvia en
    el canto del sol.

    Francesco Sinibaldi

  27. Francesco Sinibaldi   14 years ago

    Le jour du soleil.

    Pr?s des
    brouillards les
    souffles des
    vents perp?tuels
    inventent une
    joie, avec
    une chanson
    qui brille dans
    la mer.

    Francesco Sinibaldi

  28. The Fringe Economist   14 years ago

    Best Julian Assange political cartoon ever!

  29. Louis Vuitton 1904 Monogram Be   14 years ago

    http://www.louisvuitton.be/lou.....-p-23.html Great information, thanks to share.

  30. nike shoes UK   14 years ago

  31. NFL Jerseys   14 years ago
