    It kinda looks like that Negro caricature is thrilled he made it to the deep end of the pool.

    1. Almanian's Evil Twin   14 years ago

      Then he found out the other chirrens had peed in it.

      And that's what it's like to grow up in the projects and have to use a public pool...

      1. Mr. FIFY   14 years ago

        And there was no permanently-mounted handicapped spatula to get the cripples in and out of the pee-filled pool.

  2. Almanian's Evil Twin   14 years ago

    Why does Bok keep featuring Tracy Morgan in his cartoons? And what does Tracy Morgan have to do with all that shit Our President? is in to?

    Therefore, RACIST.

    Also - more labels. There are literally none. How can Bok expect anyone to follow something this complex without a least a few labels? Throw us a frickin' BONE, Chip...

    Happy Friday, Reasonoids.

    PS Why does Tracy Morgan's shirt have a little padlock on it? Is he shilling for Master Lock? or something?

  3. Concerned Citizen   14 years ago

    Leave Tracy Morgan out of this. The voice of Spoony Love is beyond ridicule.

  4. Bee Tagger   14 years ago

    He thought it would be so funny to "Burger King" Hillary Clinton until he realized she walks around the house naked.

    1. sage   14 years ago

      Thanks for that visual. DICK

  5. Longtorso   14 years ago

    Ahhhh... Life gets back to normal after yesterday. Bok still sucks. His ineptitude numbs my pain.

  6. invisible furry hand   14 years ago

    So he's wearing a giant red diaper because he's peeing himself with excitement? Or is Chip implying he has really massive balls to kill US citizens?

  7. snakotanko   14 years ago

    OK wow man that makes no sense at all dude, None.

    http://www.Mostly-Anon.tk

    1. 35N4P2BYY   14 years ago

      I am glad you and your synthetic brain understand anon-o-bot,us mere mortals are lost.

      1. invisible furry hand   14 years ago

        I think it's now more modestly asserting to be only mostly-anonbot

    2. Nick M   14 years ago

      Anon-o-bot has never been more right

  8. PS   14 years ago

    You know, I actually thought this one wasn't so bad. Of course, "Fuck you, that's why!", would've been much better but we can't have everything.

    1. invisible furry hand   14 years ago

      Did you laugh, smirk, or in any way feel amused?

      Part of the problem is the name "Friday Funnies". If it were "Friday Flap" or "Scenes from an Edwardian Lady's Sketchbook" or something, then expectations wouldn't be so high, and the comments so vicious

      1. BakedPenguin   14 years ago

        Single panel cartoons are where humor goes to die. Gary Larson is the only person I can think of who could be consistently funny in the format.

        1. sarcasmic   14 years ago

          What about Callahan?

          http://www.callahanonline.com/calhat18.htm

          1. BakedPenguin   14 years ago

            Not up to Larson's level.

            1. sarcasmic   14 years ago

              Close to Home?
              http://www.gocomics.com/closetohome/2012/06/10

      2. PS   14 years ago

        Well, no. But as BP says, we ought to grade on a curve.

        1. Bobarian   14 years ago

          " and the comments so vicious"

          But this is true art of the FF. It's like some kind of hipster NY douche performing arts kind of thing where the art is actually in the audience's reaction.

          Kind of like Tom Green...

    2. BakedPenguin   14 years ago

      Agreed. Pithy, had a point, mildly amusing. B+, if grading on a curve.

  9. Loki   14 years ago

    Why is red diaper wearing Tracy Morgan's head being chopped of by a sine wave function in the first 2 panes?

  10. Haarper   14 years ago

    Where's the healthcare one? You had all fuckin day

    1. Jesus H. Christ   14 years ago

      ^^ this ^^

    2. Bucky   14 years ago

      now that's funny...
      reminds me of the professor in Back To School (the best Rodney Dangerfield movie, IMHO)

  11. sweeterjan   14 years ago

    It's the same old "It's the economy http://www.maillotfr.com/maill.....-3_15.html stupid!" thing. If the fed govt would let free markets operate quit killing off small business in favor of big corps., I doubt we would be having this conversation.
