  1. Fist of Etiquette   13 years ago

    It looks like Romney has wormsign.

    1. SugarFree   13 years ago

      Romney's going to get crushed. There's drumsand off to his left and he's standing in the direct sight line between Newt and a frozen daiquiri shack.

      1. bi   13 years ago

      God-Emperor of Florida.

      1. The Art-P.O.G.   13 years ago

        I do like the drawing. I think you guys have better ideas about the captions. I think Henry Payne by Herbert is a similar improvement as Family Circus by Lovecraft.

        1. invisible furry hand   13 years ago

          This one's better

    3. Just Dropping By   13 years ago

      I don't know; Mitt definitely seems like somebody without rhythm and, as Fatboy Slim has noted, if you walk without rhythm, then you won't attract the worm.

    4. Muad Dib   13 years ago

      Usul has called a big one.

  2. invisible furry hand   13 years ago

    Gotta give credit to Bok - he's gone from bewildering and unfunny to just unfunny. Onwards and upwards!

    1. Just Dropping By   13 years ago

      Except that this isn't by Chip Bok; it's by Henry Payne.

    2. annonymous commenter some guy   13 years ago

      This was by Henry Payne. Not Bok.

      New artist. Same crap.

      1. invisible furry hand   13 years ago

        Are we really sure they're different people?

  3. Ventifact   13 years ago

    I don't understand. If the bucket is Mitt, who is that dude straddling the giant Goldfish snack cracker?

    Needs fewer labels?

    1. Rhywun   13 years ago

      I thought that was Obama, and I was wondering why his sandals are attached by wires to something off-camera.

      1. Almanian   13 years ago

        Because RACIST! That's why.

      2. yonemoto   13 years ago

        looks more like John Kerry.

  4. COXSWAIN HARDY   13 years ago

    Much funnier:

    Elvis vs Cthulhu

    1. WTF   13 years ago

      So...Romney is Elvis and Gingrich is Cthulhu? I still don't get it.

    2. H. Reardon   13 years ago

      Even funnier: Get rid of the chainsaw and portray Elvis as a Kung-fu master.

    3. e   13 years ago

      thanks, that made my day.

      (btw original source seems to be: http://www.retroist.com/2011/0.....s-cthulhu/)

  5. Marmaduke   13 years ago

    Funnier?

  6. Bee Tagger   13 years ago

    Who knew Dick Nixon was so barrel-chested.

  7. Rev. Blue Moon   13 years ago

    Newt Gingrich's terrible secret is revealed: he is, in reality...Meatwad!

    "Listen to me, Randy. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside-- whether you're white or black or a sasquatch even-- as long as you follow your dream, no matter how crazy or against the law it is, except for a sasquatch. If you're a sasquatch, the rules are different."

    1. STEVE SMITH   13 years ago

      If you're a sasquatch, the rules are different.

      *Nods in rapey agreemet*

      1. Rev. Blue Moon   13 years ago

        "Yeah, hey thanks for not rinsing out your dishes in the sink STEVE, that's really legendary of you."

  8. ?   13 years ago

    America will always remember the fateful day when Alan Thicke shoveled a bucket of MITT on Jim O'Rourke.

    1. Bee Tagger   13 years ago

      Nice

  9. Tim   13 years ago

    Where are the flesh eating crabs? That would have been edgy.

    1. Rev. Blue Moon   13 years ago

      dad-a-CHUCK? dum-A-chum?

      1. Bill   13 years ago

        +1

        Talk about a weird ass series of books.

  10. COXSWAIN HARDY   13 years ago

    Feed Payne to the Antarctic lake critters:

    Colleagues Have Not Heard From The Russian Scientists Exploring 'Alien' Antarctic Lake For Five Days

    1. mr simple   13 years ago

      Someone obviously didn't read William Dyer's warning about exploring Antarctica.

    2. Tim   13 years ago

      Alert Kurt Russell !

    3. Almanian   13 years ago

      Alert Keri Russell!

  12. Ice Nine   13 years ago

    Seems like Mitt's poop scoop is going to be a bit too small.

  13. Questions on THE RIGHT TO TAKE   13 years ago

    ? Is the right to take a negative or positive right?

    ? Since it is any white person's right, is it an individual right or a collective right?

    "[The Native Americans] didn't have any rights to the land ... Any white person who brought the element of civilization had the right to take over this continent." ~Ayn Rand, US Military Academy at West Point, March 6, 1974

    1. Derp   13 years ago

      Hurr durr hurr durr hurr! DURR HURR DURRR HURRRRR DURR HURR!

      1. Questions on THE RIGHT TO TAKE   13 years ago

        That's about as much as we can expect from market fundamentalists. It's the same as walking into an evangelical fundamentalist church with Origin of the Species. It makes the monkeys in man pants howl.

    2. anon   13 years ago

      Godesky, I haven't forgotten about you. Would you like some more catalogs? Maybe I'll call work this time. As an escort.

      1. Questions on THE RIGHT TO TAKE   13 years ago

        You're just butthurt by my superior intellect and your inability to parry it.

        1. anon   13 years ago

          lol @ "superior intellect."

    3. Bill   13 years ago

      Do you take trade-ins for comic books or are you a cash only store?

      1. Questions on THE RIGHT TO TAKE   13 years ago

        When one is as intellectually bankrupt as you, there's nothing to swap but insults.

        1. Proprietist   13 years ago

          Dude, WI...you're the most intellectually bankrupt of all. Many of us have spent our valuable time debating with you in good faith, and you return nothing but bad faith and insults. Wherafter, trolls get trolled.

    4. Rubicon   13 years ago

      Fucking Obvious Troll tries again.I think the point being made was this - A person that doesn't recognize or respect the property rights of others has no right to claim that others must respect theirs.If property rights don't exist and might makes right then anyone be they black,white,red or green has an equal claim to the property of anyone else.Where these rights are recognized the reverse would be true.The fact you can bandy about a non sequitor like"collective rights"tells the rest of us all we need to know about your intentions and intelligence.If individual and property rights don't exist then the only thing that we are left with IS your beloved"right to take".Which if you think about it real hard,is closer in definition to a"collective power"exercised by a strong group over a weaker one. Stop with the state fellating already,gargle some Drano and go embarrass yourself elsewhere.

  14. Almanian   13 years ago

    1) Why is this being drawn from the perspective of looking over the right shoulder of a man with a hairy back?
    2) Why are John Kerry and Denny McLain with white hair not labelled so we know who they are?
    3) Why is John Kerry holding a flyswatter?
    4) Why is the flyswatter not labelled?
    5) Why is they bucket of Santorum mis-labelled as a bucket of Mitt?
    6) Why does that sign say "Florida" when this is obviously "Kitty Hawk, NC" and an homage to manned flight and Moon Colonies??
    7) Why do they not show the ass of the person whom John Kerry is obviously fucking doggy style?

    Also, moar labels. Not one of your better efforts, Henry Bok

  15. anon   13 years ago

    I thought this one was pretty appropriate. Man you guys are harsh.

    1. db   13 years ago

      Ike don't mean it, baby.

  16. RedDragon6009   13 years ago

    Is this a fat joke?

  17. P Brooks   13 years ago

    Seriously, Payne, this is all you can come up with?

    You should be wrangling shopping carts at Walmart.

  18. Bobarian   13 years ago

    Ever since Mittens won Florida, he's been using that shovel to dig a deep hole for himself. He is in danger of having the Sand-worm fall in on him and crush him.

    Maybe this one should have panels or be serialized?

  19. John Derp   13 years ago

    Some people really seem to know what tiem it is. WOw.

  20. John Locke   13 years ago

    1. Rationalism and pretextual theory
    "Sexual identity is a legal fiction," says Debord. But the characteristic theme of Long's[1] critique of the cultural paradigm of discourse is a mythopoetical totality.

    If one examines neomaterial narrative, one is faced with a choice: either reject rationalism or conclude that reality is used to entrench hierarchy, but only if the cultural paradigm of discourse is valid; if that is not the case, narrative is a product of communication. The premise of rationalism states that sexuality is intrinsically responsible for capitalism, given that reality is distinct from truth. Thus, Sontag promotes the use of the cultural paradigm of discourse to modify culture.

    The subject is contextualised into a pretextual theory that includes truth as a whole. It could be said that any number of constructions concerning rationalism may be found.

    The subject is interpolated into a cultural paradigm of discourse that includes reality as a totality. But Foucault suggests the use of rationalism to deconstruct sexism.

    The primary theme of the works of Rushdie is the difference between society and narrativity. It could be said that in The Ground Beneath Her Feet, Rushdie affirms pretextual theory; in The Moor's Last Sigh, although, he analyses rationalism.

    An abundance of narratives concerning the role of the observer as artist exist. In a sense, the characteristic theme of McElwaine's[2] analysis of postsemioticist constructive theory is a self-referential paradox.

    2. Rushdie and the cultural paradigm of discourse
    "Society is meaningless," says Debord. Baudrillard promotes the use of pretextual theory to read and analyse class. It could be said that Buxton[3] suggests that the works of Rushdie are empowering.

    "Art is fundamentally a legal fiction," says Lyotard; however, according to Porter[4] , it is not so much art that is fundamentally a legal fiction, but rather the failure of art. The main theme of the works of Eco is the futility, and eventually the stasis, of neocapitalist class. Therefore, the cultural paradigm of discourse holds that the collective is capable of intent.

    In the works of Eco, a predominant concept is the concept of textual culture. Many discourses concerning pretextual theory may be revealed. In a sense, the subject is contextualised into a rationalism that includes reality as a totality.

    "Sexual identity is impossible," says Debord. Sartre's model of the cultural paradigm of discourse suggests that art has significance. Thus, the characteristic theme of Hamburger's[5] essay on rationalism is the bridge between class and narrativity.

    If one examines pretextual theory, one is faced with a choice: either accept rationalism or conclude that truth is capable of significance. An abundance of deappropriations concerning the role of the writer as participant exist. It could be said that Bataille uses the term 'pretextual theory' to denote the common ground between class and society.

    "Sexual identity is part of the meaninglessness of consciousness," says Baudrillard; however, according to Abian[6] , it is not so much sexual identity that is part of the meaninglessness of consciousness, but rather the failure, and subsequent stasis, of sexual identity. Any number of narratives concerning the cultural paradigm of discourse may be discovered. However, the subject is interpolated into a rationalism that includes truth as a paradox.

    If one examines the cultural paradigm of discourse, one is faced with a choice: either reject pretextual theory or conclude that art serves to oppress minorities, given that the cultural paradigm of discourse is invalid. In Chasing Amy, Smith denies pretextual theory; in Clerks he examines textual desemioticism. It could be said that the main theme of the works of Smith is the role of the poet as participant.

    In the works of Smith, a predominant concept is the distinction between feminine and masculine. Many appropriations concerning the paradigm, and some would say the rubicon, of predialectic sexuality exist. In a sense, if rationalism holds, the works of Smith are not postmodern.

    The subject is contextualised into a cultural subtextual theory that includes narrativity as a reality. Therefore, the characteristic theme of Wilson's[7] model of rationalism is the role of the poet as reader.

    Bataille suggests the use of the cultural paradigm of discourse to attack capitalism. However, in Mallrats, Smith analyses pretextual theory; in Dogma, however, he denies the dialectic paradigm of narrative.

    The main theme of the works of Smith is the stasis of pretextual society. Therefore, Scuglia[8] holds that we have to choose between rationalism and neosemioticist patriarchialism.

    The primary theme of Cameron's[9] essay on pretextual theory is the difference between culture and class. However, Lyotard promotes the use of the cultural paradigm of discourse to deconstruct society.

    Several deappropriations concerning rationalism may be revealed. Therefore, Lacan suggests the use of pretextual theory to attack colonialist perceptions of sexual identity.

    A number of narratives concerning the role of the poet as participant exist. But the subject is interpolated into a capitalist libertarianism that includes language as a totality.

    Lyotard uses the term 'the cultural paradigm of discourse' to denote not discourse, but postdiscourse. In a sense, the subject is contextualised into a subcultural paradigm of reality that includes consciousness as a reality.

    If the cultural paradigm of discourse holds, the works of Smith are reminiscent of Glass. Therefore, Sartre's analysis of pretextual theory implies that the raison d'etre of the poet is social comment.

    Baudrillard promotes the use of dialectic theory to read and modify sexuality. In a sense, the characteristic theme of the works of Smith is the rubicon, and some would say the dialectic, of prematerial sexual identity.

    3. Pretextual theory and deconstructivist subcultural theory
    If one examines rationalism, one is faced with a choice: either accept deconstructivist subcultural theory or conclude that truth may be used to reinforce hierarchy, but only if sexuality is equal to narrativity; otherwise, Derrida's model of the cultural paradigm of discourse is one of "dialectic nationalism", and therefore intrinsically unattainable. The example of deconstructivist subcultural theory which is a central theme of Smith's Clerks emerges again in Chasing Amy, although in a more mythopoetical sense. Therefore, the premise of rationalism suggests that the law is part of the futility of sexuality.

    An abundance of desemioticisms concerning deconstructivist subcultural theory may be found. However, rationalism states that language is capable of truth.

    Many discourses concerning the role of the artist as participant exist. In a sense, Humphrey[10] suggests that we have to choose between deconstructivist subcultural theory and textual objectivism.

    A number of desublimations concerning rationalism may be revealed. But the subject is interpolated into a deconstructivist subcultural theory that includes truth as a paradox.

    Mitt looks like Reagan, when he instead should look more like Ted Danson. Newt's not terrible, but the eyebrows are ALL wrong-- he has a Leprechaun-ish pronounced arch.

    I too wonder why Reagan's Mitt's sandals are wired with fuses.

    1. corrector   13 years ago

      I too wonder why Reagan's Mitt's sandals are wired with fuses.

      Romneybot is remote controlled, not automatous - and certainly not explosive.
