Payne, damn it, why don't you just shoot yourself? If poison is cheaper, just do that, or go catch AIDS from Kurt Loder so you can have some fun on your way out of our misery.
Good morning reason!
And peace on earth to men of good will.
Good morning.
That was almost Episiarchian, Suki.
I kind of like it but that's my love of surrealism talking.
Yes! That duck head rocks!
You mean the muscular guns/blow-driers wearing hats?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Is this supposed to be a dig at cash for clunkers?
Also, lol!
That was funnier than the comic, but it wasn't funny.
Cash for Clunkers is a self contained nugget of humor. Its as if they officially legislated a joke.
DNR
Where's the crying Statue of Liberty?
FAIL
As a strong believer that every editorial cartoon needs a tear, AND a strong believer that you can never have enough un-funny political cartoons, I offer my alternative Friday Funny.
Do one with a dr giving some end of life counseling to obamacare.
That's far too clever for a political cartoon...
i did especially like the "Hopey Changey" button
good. But I would like to see it with a death panel giving the final verdict.
Why is the black guy at the back of the "bus"?
R___st.
Actually they're twins. The one in the back just returned from Cancun.
PPACA is going to change the way we tow our cars?
And our liens.
Poor Payne! I actually laugh at every one of these now, just thinking what kind of slings and arrows the poor man is going to have to suffer in the comment threads.
Why is Rosie O'Donnell being carried out on a stretcher, and what does that have to do w/ ObamaCare?
Lol! NICE! Not very timely, but still, NICE!!
It's funny, because it's a GM truck.
NOW I get it!
Wait, is this a continuation of a theme from your other cartoons, like you've drawn an ambulance so often to represent obamacare that you felt it has become it's own symbol? That's meta.
I thought you meant it was the continuation of the theme of not being funny.
That was implied.
Payne, please start plagiarizing funnier artists.
Payne, please save us the pain and start plagiarizing funnier cartoonists.
That was Paynefull
^ That was Payne-esque.
Why make the penises carrying the gurney anthropomorphic, but not the ambulance? Why not make the ambulance frown or something...you know, for the kids.
O
I seriously doubt two men could carry an ambulance. Or that they would have a stretcher large enough and strong enough to do so.
Yeah and the engine is the heavy end, so it would tip over if they carried it like that.
Exactly.
Nuh uh. The 36 Million Uninsured? fell to the bottom, redistributing the weight.
Not to mention the ambulance's Fez would have fallen off.
The doctor removed the engine. . . for the insurance compensation.
+100(in medicare reimbursements of course)
Are modern editorial cartoons so poor because they can't be smutty and/or profane?
Because if they could be there are several excellent humorists who post here that Reason ought to try out.
I've dealt with political cartoons going back a couple of hundred years. They were always this bad. I suspect they were used originally to make political points to the illiterate, and they never really progressed past that point.
Although their main aesthetic fault is that the medium seems incapable of generating the sublime.
I'm thinking of Barrack and Michelle in Cialis bathtubs watching the Egyptian riots: " Because you never know when the time is right to fuck Mubarak over". Then they hold hands.
Too obtuse?
Probably not to the right audience. It's the mass audience that is the problem. By the time that you make something that everyone can understand and inject your spin on it, it's a dead letter artistically.
Despite my completely and utter inability to draw, I was made the editorial cartoonist for my high school newspaper. This decision on the teacher's part baffles me to this day.

This is dismayingly broadly applicable to political theory.
No, and it's acute as well.
Good composition. It is definitely more aesthetically pleasing than most editorial cartoons.
I will agree with that.
LOL< no doubt this is gonna be a good day for sure.

Do you base all of life's decisions on the outcome of Friday Funnies?
Now that's actually hilarious.
I haven't been around to make fun of the friday funnies in a long time - this cartoon sucks! wow i feel better now.
OK, normally I give these some credit, but apart from the premise being so overdone, the execution seems childish. A little Dr. Seuss nostalgia, but I don't think it was intentional.
i like the ambulance idea but, put it out in front of "Hudson's Repairs" with the hood up and the engine sitting outside in a puddle of oil. Hudson is standing there in coveralls cleaning his hands on a dirty rag. Obama is standing there, arms crossed with a squinty-eyed look of distrust. Hudson says to him "It's all covered under your Unconstitution Warranty."
oops 'Unconstitutional Warranty'
That sounds pretty good.
So when are you going to start NOT posting the Friday Funnies again, so we can comment on THAT.
Cause that's always a lot more fun than these awful comics. Good Lord...
Oh, happy Friday, everyone!
What he said.
I actually like Payne's loose rendering style. That's about it though....
You guys just don't understand the deeper meaning of Payne's work. He is trying to represent the decay and impotency of Detroit itself through horrible editorial cartoons.
Oh shit, I thought it was a cartoon about alternative transportation.
Light rail WILL save the future!
Would have been funnier had Obamacare been denied treatment.
This is the setup for the inevitable RIP Obamacare headstone.
Universal healthcare makes a lot of sense.
Every day we face with countertop,you can have a high quality of life with granite countertop of yalitongstone,but we will also very pleased if you can see Huaxingstone's granite countertop
Obamacare will need more than that. Friday Funnies are the best. I've been checking up on some of the ones I had missed. You Really don't see a lot of people think like some of these comics do.
Comics in general to me are great. I LOVE the vintage comics probably the best though. I even have some of these comic iphone cases. These cases would fit really well with in good comic lover or Friday funnies lovers.
I wish Universal healthcare really made a lot of sense.... For many reasons it does not

Get government replica uggs out of education and kids will get educated or fake uggs for sale not, as their parents desire. More of them will actually become educated without government than do now with it.
