Almanian's Evil Twin 13 years ago

Who stapled the sides of Robin Williams’ head to each other? And why are Tracy Morgan’s ears so big?

Also, I think it needs more labels.

Don’t get.
1. General Butt Naked 13 years ago
  
  I thought that it was Jay Leno with finger potatoes glued to his head, and the Howard Stern show’s Beetlejuice?
  1. Bee Tagger 13 years ago
    
    Don’t be ridiculous, that’s clearly George McFly.
    1. Almanian's Evil Twin 13 years ago
      
      George McFly’s not black!
      
      Oh! the other one – right…
    2. General Butt Naked 13 years ago
      
      Jay Leno, George McFly who cares?!
      
      I just want to know why “Chip” decided to glue finger potatoes to the side of his head.
      1. Almanian's Evil Twin 13 years ago
        
        You know who else glued finger potatoes to the side of his head….
        
        Groovus Maximus 13 years ago
        
        Mr. Po. Tay. Toe. Head?

        Po. Tay. Toes.

        Henry Payne?

  I thought it was David Lynch with the sides of his head stapled in.

Nice use of purple tones in this drawing of a now superseded design for a wrench on the left, and the vagina dentata on the right
1. Groovus Maximus 13 years ago
  
  You do know that vagina dentata follows the mid-sagittal (vertical) plane? Not the coronal (horizontal) plane.
  
  An Aussie dentist told me that. In fact, the same one that pulled out all her ex’s teeth not too long ago. And she is not a spunky sheila.
  1. invisible furry hand 13 years ago
    
    I did know that. Could you please stop destroying my idiotic semi-pun with facts, knowledge, cleverness, etc?
    1. Groovus Maximus 13 years ago
      
      Cleverness? You gave me a compliment! *blush*
      
      You’re wish is my command, m’lady…
    2. Groovus Maximus 13 years ago
      
      And if you could teach me how to spell “Your”, I would be indebted.
      1. invisible furry hand 13 years ago
        
        that’s easy. Y-O-R-E
      2. Eduard van Haalen 13 years ago
        
        You spelled it right, your handwriting was just hard to read.
  2. Mensan 13 years ago
    
    I don’t mean to start an anatomy terminology argument again, BUT the coronal (or frontal) plane is vertical also.
    1. Groovus Maximus 13 years ago
      
      Actually, you are correct, Mensan. Proper terminology would indeed be the axial plane. I visualized in my head in my head the corpus in the lithotomy position.
      
      I stand corrected.
2. db 13 years ago
  
  Wrench? I thought you folks called it a “spanner.”
  1. invisible furry hand 13 years ago
    
    A no-frills tool, yes, I’d call that a spanner. But we do use “wrench” especially for the more arcane types
    
    Also, I seem to use more Americanisms around here, presumably in an effort to be understood.
    1. Mo' $parky 13 years ago
      
      Spend a little more time here and you’ll eventually be able to talk real good.

Jesus.
1. Almanian's Evil Twin 13 years ago
  
  For some reason, your concise, poignant plea made me laugh out loud.
  
  Thank you, GBN.
  1. General Butt Naked 13 years ago
    
    Anything I can do to help us through this dark time of humorless cartoonery.
    1. Suthenboy 13 years ago
      
      humorless cartoonery…..are you referring to politics in general or the friday funnies?
      1. Groovus Maximus 13 years ago
        
        False Choice there, Rajun’ Cajun’. You forgot the MSM, the real funhouse mirror of the American Psyche.

I won’t be able to make the morning links.

The IPCC: Going Where No Scientist Should Go
The next IPCC report will include a chapter that discusses gender inequality, marginalized populations, and traditional knowledge. So much for providing “rigorous?scientific information.”

  There are increasing signs that the weather Chicken Littles are about to finally give up on their failed attempts to ram through crap like the Kyoto Protocal and a global “Cap and Trade” system.
  
  We’re going to be hearing less and less about the global warming non-issue as they shift gears.

To the person with Virginia plates I saw recently:

Just because you have many horse themed bumper stickers doesn’t mean that a personal plate that says “Ilvhors” is going to be thought of by fellow drivers as equestrian related.

True story.
1. invisible furry hand 13 years ago
  
  now that’s a Friday Funny
2. Groovus Maximus 13 years ago
  
  You owe me a new monitor. 🙂
3. SugarFree 13 years ago
  
  What’s the big deal? The driver just loves hors d’oeuvres.
  1. Groovus Maximus 13 years ago
    
    Everyone knows the Italians taught the French how to cook. And ride horses.
    1. General Butt Naked 13 years ago
      
      …and fuck.
      1. Mo' $parky 13 years ago
        
        Also, fried chicken?
4. Bobarian 13 years ago
  
  Now I have to order a vanity plate.

I love the attempt to give Romney–a bland, unsalted cracker of a man–the intense stare of a deranged right-winger. If there is one thing that we know about Romney it’s that his positions are not fanatically held.

Whereas the smarm of the Obama one is dead-on.
1. General Butt Naked 13 years ago
  
  What the fuck kind of drugs do you have to take to see some intentional subtle context in a Bok “drawing”?
  1. SugarFree 13 years ago
    
    Just the usual handful of pills and injections that keeps my hollow semblance of life shambling forward.
    1. General Butt Naked 13 years ago
      
      Sounds like something I could use.
      
      Mmmmm, pills. Sweet, sweet pills…

        Joke’s on you! Those are bath saltz…

They’re not so different in middle age either. In fact, they’re so interchangeable that if you’re a supporter of either one it shouldn’t matter to you which one wins in November.

  drugs much?
Almanian's Evil Twin 13 years ago

Maybe we could all pitch in so Reason could afford to buy some used “Hi and Lois” or “Andy Capp” comics.

You know, something less unfunny.

I guess that’s what the annual Begathon is all about. Apparently I didn’t give enough last year. That’s what this is about, isn’t it, “REASON” – if that’s you’re REAL name?
1. Almanian's Evil Twin 13 years ago
  
  Also, I MEANT to say “you’re” right there. MEANT it.

HEY, WHY DOESN’T EVERYONE JUST GO GLUE SOME FINGER POTATOES TO THE SIDES OF SOMEONE ELSE’S HEAD TODAY?! HUH?!!

WHY NOT???!!!

OK, I’ll leave now.

This artist must have had a field day with Ross Perot 20 years ago, the way he draws Obama here.
1. Loki 13 years ago
  
  He’s probably just recycling old drawings of Perot and adding “blackface” to them.
Mo' $parky 13 years ago

Viewing the Friday “Funnies” without reading the comments is like watching a ventriloquist on TV with Mute on.

Venezuela bans private firearm ownership. All the BBC can say about it is that “The ban is the latest attempt by the government to improve security and cut crime ahead of elections in October.” Also, they cite statistics on murder and crime rates in Venezuela. There is not one word about how Chavez and his cronies have increasingly tightened their grip and attempted to silence opposition. Not a peep about how other totalitarian regimes have made total civilian disarmament (which Chavez openly claims is his goal) a key part of their strategies for maintaining repressive power.
1. SugarFree 13 years ago
  
  TRUST DEMOCRACY!
2. John 13 years ago
  
  Well it is not like draconian firearms restrictions haven’t worked in Mexico.
  1. General Butt Naked 13 years ago
    
    They would except for the “gunshow loophole” we have here in the states.
    1. John 13 years ago
      
      Well Eric Holder was trying to fix that until those damned Retuglicans stopped him.
      1. plu1959 13 years ago
        
        those damned Retuglicans
        
        Hey, you no say that about Governor Christie!
        
        Groovus Maximus 13 years ago
        
        That’s a Retublican.
        
        Untempered Individualist 13 years ago
        
        *guffaw*
3. General Butt Naked 13 years ago
  
  What about the fact that in the egalitarian socialist paradise that Chavez has built there would be no need for crime, and that the New Communist Man would be above the petty boojwaz concerns that cause men to murder each other.
  
  Guess the beatings will continue until morale improves. Hit ’em harder Cezar!
4. Tim 13 years ago
  
  Asaad told him it’s a hell of a lot easier to terrorize and summarily execute unarmed civillians.
  1. John 13 years ago
    
    THIS
5. Loki 13 years ago
  
  Not a peep about how other totalitarian regimes have made total civilian disarmament (which Chavez openly claims is his goal) a key part of their strategies for maintaining repressive power.
  
  If they did that some of their British readers might start to wonder why they have such repressive gun control laws in their own country. Nope, it’s all about “security” and “cutting crime”.

The cartoons are a lot like a black hole of cartoons. No humor can escape them and the suckage per cubic foot in unimaginable.
1. Mo' $parky 13 years ago
  
  The “cartoons” posted in the Friday Funnies thread are intentionally pulled from the worst of the worst. The real point of this weekly exercise is to allow the commentariat to flex their comedic muscle in an attempt to thoroughly excoriate the “artist” and introduce new memes into the collective.
  1. Untempered Individualist 13 years ago
    
    introduce new memes into the collective
    
    “The collective”? Ain’t no collective ’round here. Git!

Question: Why is Nick G. always railing against hacky political cartoonists when he’s got two of the worst offenders right here at reason?
1. Bobarian 13 years ago
  
  It is a sarcastic and ironic commentary on the duality of political discourse in this country.
  
  We just don’t get the joke.

That looks like it might just actually work. WOw.
