  1. sage   13 years ago

    Looks like Newt has already gotten to at least one finger on each of Mitt’s hands. And Santorum, with the fivehead, is standing as though he is trying to keep santorum from squirting out.

    1. SPOILER ALERT!   13 years ago

      Thread downhill from here.

      1. Depto   13 years ago

        Mitt Mirror definitely needed a label.

  2. Fist of Etiquette   13 years ago

    …but then I took an arrow to the funny bone.

    1. Ska   13 years ago

      Oddly enough – a video that ties both Skyrim and saws together:

      Accident at the saw mill.

      1. PS   13 years ago

        I wish I had a computer fast enough to play new games. As it is, a Nintendo emulator hammers it.

  3. rather   13 years ago

    Farting in a jar on a Friday – much better use of your time.

  4. Drax the Destroyer   13 years ago

    It would be better if Ass Juice and the Grinch were Scorpion and Sub-Zero, while Mitt was Johnny Cage. And somewhere in the back is Paul as Shang Tsung.

    1. Fatty Bolger   13 years ago

      Only Bok would think to juxtapose horror film cliches with an entirely unrelated video game. Brilliant!

    2. heller   13 years ago

      Does Mitt nut-punch someone?

    3. Quetzalcoatl   13 years ago

      Ron Paul would totally be Lord Raiden.

      1. Drax the Destroyer   13 years ago

        Yeah…that’s definitely more accurate. Its been years since I’ve got my ass kicked at the Kombat. Apparently, the newest iteration is pretty damn good.

        1. Mensan   13 years ago

          Yeah, it’s pretty good. I get my ass kicked at it online by foul-mounthed 12-year olds about once a week or so.

          It does have Freddy Krueger in it, so NetherRealm already did the combining of horror films and MK. I don’t think Bok knew that though. He just dressed Newcular Titties as Jason and called it Mortal Kombat because he’s stupid.

  5. Bok Sux   13 years ago

    With apologies to J Giles:

    Bok Sux
    Yea Yea
    Box Sux
    Bok Sux
    Yea Yea

  6. capitol l   13 years ago

    Jesus.

  7. invisible furry hand   13 years ago

    Chip-Bot is now doing deliberate lameness, isn’t he? He knows we’ll bite and gets off on it.

  8. JOhnny MAckson   13 years ago

    >:(

    Jess
    http://www.anonophile.com

    1. Baal   13 years ago

      Even bots are critics now.

    2. invisible furry hand   13 years ago

      Anon-Bot to replace Chip-Bot! He can’t do any worse

  9. Alan Vanneman   13 years ago

    Is this really the best use of the Koch’s money?

  10. rather   13 years ago

    Someone has been watching “Field Of Dreams” a few too many times

    1. rather   13 years ago

      And not farting in enough jars.

  11. Joe M   13 years ago

    I just… huh?

  12. Dekedin   13 years ago

    Idea for a video game comic:
    Ron Paul=Dovahkiin
    Obama=Alduin
    Neocons=Thalmor
    GOP=Empire

    I was going to say libertarians were Stormcloaks, but then people might think we’re racists. I guess unions are Stormcloaks because of protectionism and anti-globalism.

  13. The Art-P.O.G.   13 years ago

    I do like the “Splatterhouse” reference.

    1. Chip Bok   13 years ago

      The what?

  14. PS   13 years ago

    Where’s Ron Paul?

    1. CoyoteBlue   13 years ago

      This is a Serious comic! Only serious candadites need appear!

      1. Jeff   13 years ago

        Candadite = a Canadian catamite?

    2. Rich   13 years ago

      Paul is known for not attacking Romney. I applaud Chip for his accuracy and clever portrayal.

      1. Joe M   13 years ago

        Yeah, but Santorum isn’t really attacking Romney much either. Should’ve been Perry instead.

        1. sloopyinca   13 years ago

          He could have drawn Perry as “Agent P” as well.

          1. Leon Panetta   13 years ago

            I’m warning you about the “P” stuff.

          2. PS   13 years ago

            Now I’m gonna have that song stuck in my head all day.

            1. Night Elf Mohawk   13 years ago

              Semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammal of action?

              1. PS   13 years ago

                Stop!!!

            2. Bones   13 years ago

              Doofenschmirtz Evil Incorporaaaateeeeeeed!

  15. db   13 years ago

    Santorum and Gingrich should be depicted as zombies. Mitt gets bitten and Paul shows up with a baseball bat and a sawed off shotgun to save the world.

    1. annonymous commenter some guy   13 years ago

      “Paul shows up with a baseball bat and a sawed off shotgun to save the world.”

      Sounds like an excellent campaign poster!

    2. Bones   13 years ago

      Shop smart, shop S Mart.

  16. Bok Sux   13 years ago

    So this is Field of Dreams and Newt is Mitt’s father?

  17. Lord Humungus   13 years ago

    what does one see when looking in the Mitt mirror?

    1. Ska   13 years ago

      Hopefully they don’t see Santorum behind them.

  18. SugarFree   13 years ago

    Santorum is He Who Fingers His Asshole Behind The Rows.

  19. sloopyinca   13 years ago

    I wanted to see something funny. So I’m gonna post this instead of look at he Friday Drawing again.

    1. Apatheist   13 years ago

      The guy with the long hair looks like a total badass.

      1. sloopyinca   13 years ago

        Wook at dems cute widdle feets! They’re like real-life hobbits.

      2. TheOtherOtherSparky   13 years ago

        Looks like some of the Dragon Ball Z characters playing some ball.

  20. Terr   13 years ago

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  21. Sparky   13 years ago

    What is this I don’t even

  22. sarcasmic   13 years ago

    Needs more labels.

    1. Rich   13 years ago

      Well, perhaps “The Republican Field”.

  23. wtf   13 years ago

    How much money does Reason waste on these cartoon?

    1. Orrie Goner   13 years ago

      Don’t you get it? Chip pays Reason.

      1. sloopyinca   13 years ago

        Yeah, this is what I always thought. Like a self-described artist pays a studio to display their work in the hopes that someone will commission them. Bok is just doing the same, but online.

        1. wtf   13 years ago

          pretty sure reason pays a subscription fee to bok.

          1. sloopyinca   13 years ago

            Pretty sure the batteries in your Sarcasmometer need to be replaced.

            1. Johncasmic Brooksloop   13 years ago

              Pretty sure sarcasm is the lowest form of speech.

              1. Nuh uh!   13 years ago
  24. invisible furry hand   13 years ago

    Inspired by Sloopy’s generosity above and Urkobold’s Monkey Tuesday, I offer this

  25. P Brooks   13 years ago

    Needs more labels.

    1. Mr Whipple   13 years ago

      [and] brackets [EMPIRE]

    2. Johncasmic Brooksloop   13 years ago

      Funny every time!

  26. Spoonman.   13 years ago

    Can’t you at least get Lucy or Tim to add alt-text so something funny is on this page?

  27. F Hart   13 years ago

    Holy shit! Is it Friday already? Fuck me.

  28. P Brooks   13 years ago

    To the Memory Hole!

  29. Ice Nine   13 years ago

    Santorum, Newt and Mitt are in the GOP? Who knew?

  30. Yet Another Dave   13 years ago

    I gotta say, I think a lot of you are pretty mean toward Bok’s cartoons each week … except for this week. That one is pretty lame. Where’s Ron Paul? What’s with the Field of Dreams/Friday the 13th stuff, when it’s Mortal Kombat?

  31. Almanian   13 years ago

    Bok is so meta that he speaks only to The Few Who Understand.

    Party on, Chip

  32. Jay S   13 years ago

    Why does Zombie Nixon have ‘Santorum’ written on his suit coat?

    1. Thorbie   13 years ago

      I think you’re talking about Joe Biden.

  33. TheOtherOtherSparky   13 years ago

    Santorum looks like he’s trying to “be veewwwy qwiet. He’s hunting wabbits”, which is pointless, because, that weird white haired Dracula from the 1992 Coppola movie, who BTW, has REALLY let himself go, is running a chainsaw. Apparently, the power tool was required to cut a wide enough hole for his fat ass.

  34. Joshua Corning   13 years ago

    Both timely and accurate…in some alternate past in which Ron Paul did not exist.

  35. LA Liberty   13 years ago

    I’m assuming this is an animated gif and it just hasn’t gotten to the funny frame yet…

  36. Dylboz   13 years ago

    Uh… shouldn’t that sign say “SC,” not “NH?”

  37. Thorbie   13 years ago

    Mine’s funnier. http://whenfallsthecoliseum.co…..mpaigners/

  38. Thorbie   13 years ago

    Mine’s funnier.

  39. Thorbie   13 years ago

    What?

    “Field of Dreams 2: the Friday the 13th, Newt Chainsaw Massacre (with Santorum).”

    Mine’s funnier.

    1. Dude!   13 years ago

      I agree. Not a lot funnier, but better drawn and in color.

  40. first   13 years ago

    Mercedes continues to be a huge hit with her followers on the Live Cams service. Now she is also fulfilling her ambition to be an erotic model.

    Ukrainian girls have a fantastic reputation for their beauty. When you add in Mercedes’ dash of Armenian heritage the result is an exotic mix. This long haired brunette with the petite body is blessed with rich, full breasts. Her eyes have a mysterious charm. She has a vibrant personality and takes genuine pleasure in everything erotic.

    Maybe that is because of her interest in the human body. Mercedes is a final year medical student. She is looking forward to putting her knowledge of anatomy to use.

    Now is your chance to give the doctor an all-over physical examination. This is the time to join Mercedes’ very private practice.
