We know what sank the Costa Concordia, says Henry Payne. If only we could figure out what sank the U.S.S. Economy.

  1. Fist of Etiquette   14 years ago

    I don't get it.

    1. Local Wit   14 years ago

      It's the wreck of the SS Megaupload.

      1. You are boring.   14 years ago

        Fuck off, rectal.

        1. Local Wit   14 years ago

          Who?

          1. heller   14 years ago

            You, whore.

  2. rather   14 years ago

    I stopped my third successful fart in a jar for this? What a waste of CH4.

    1. Yo   14 years ago

      See, now that's libertarian-worthy humor.

      1. You are boring.   14 years ago

        Fuck off, rectal.

        1. Local Wit   14 years ago

          Who?

          1. heller   14 years ago

            You, whore.

  3. The Art-P.O.G.   14 years ago

    Arrr.

  4. Corrector   14 years ago

    They left off the link to the whole comic. See it here: http://reason.com/archives/201.....ay-funnies

    1. Jack Nicholson as The Joker   14 years ago

      No, boys. I kind of like this one.

    2. Restoras   14 years ago

      Maybe they left the link off on purpose to spare Payne the pain of our mockery.

      1. Aaaar   14 years ago

        Your "mockery" is painfully inept, certainly.

        1. You are boring.   14 years ago

          Fuck off, rectal.

          1. Aaaar   14 years ago

            Who?

    3. Ice Nine   14 years ago

      You had to go and spoil it with the link!

  5. COXSWAIN HARDY   14 years ago

    Too soon. Not because of the deaths. Always too soon for a Payne cartoon.

  6. JLM   14 years ago

    How about changing cartoon day to Monday? Since Mondays already suck it will do less damage.

  7. Abdul   14 years ago

    Vado a bordo, cazzo!

    1. BlueBook   14 years ago

      Shouted Coast Guard Captain Ron Paul.

    2. Ska   14 years ago

      🙂

  8. rather   14 years ago

    What's with the three penises singing in the boat?

    1. Bee Tagger   14 years ago

      The dicks that were bailed out are AIG, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs.

    2. You are boring.   14 years ago

      Fuck off, rectal.

      1. You are boring.   14 years ago
  9. MlR   14 years ago

    Off-topic, but a funny Christian Science Monitor debate 'round-up' that completely ignores Paul:

    http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/L.....candidates

    1. Bee Tagger   14 years ago

      It's strange. This was the best debate so far in terms of giving Paul a chance to answer real questions and a more comparable amount of time. But I've never seen post-debate coverage like this. CNN, Fox, Politico, Christian Science Monitor, and I'm sure others. They are systematically pretending Paul simply wasn't even on stage.

      1. PS   14 years ago

        And it's international. BBC didn't mention Paul either, other then to say he took part.

        http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-16643430

  10. Ice Nine   14 years ago

    Fifteen comments. Could be the ultimate H&R Friday "Funny"; so bereft of content and humor it defies even mockery.

    1. heller   14 years ago

      Here, entertain yourself with this instead:

      http://dogfeathers.com/java/ccppoly.html

    2. Local Wit   14 years ago

      Let's try anyway!

      1. You are boring.   14 years ago

        Fuck off, rectal.

        1. You are boring.   14 years ago
    3. anon   14 years ago

      The comments seem to be split between H&R and the actual reason.com.

  11. heller   14 years ago

    It's much more enjoyable if you don't see the whole thing.

  12. Gilligan   14 years ago

    Property-stealing site shut down, thieves arrested, anonymous thugs unhappy, demand right to free stuff.

  13. Sparky   14 years ago

    There are two copies of this article with two separate comments sections? Is this like the alternate ending or something? You know, the one where it cuts off just before the last scene to leave the outcome up to the viewer? I hate that shit.

    1. Local Wit   14 years ago

      You mean our witty commentary may disappear at any

      1. You are boring.   14 years ago

        Fuck off, rectal.

        1. You are boring.   14 years ago
  14. Fist of Etiquette   14 years ago

    Competing Friday Funnies threads. I love it.

    Of course, this one is going to be wiped out when they realize realize Reason's Skynet app did while they were sleeping.

    1. Local Wit   14 years ago

      Tipe slower.
      Tank you.

      1. You are boring.   14 years ago

        Fuck off, rectal.

        1. You are boring.   14 years ago
  15. You are boring.   14 years ago

    For the rest of you, just in case.
