Payne depicting Joe and the teachers unions as Nazis. Edgy.

  Are the union Nazis implied or skillfully hidden in the picture?

      Gotta love the German language. No wonder they had a habit of chronically spilling all over Eurasia. They needed Lebensraum for their words.

        Das ist wahr.

  You know who else was depicted as Nazis?
  1. invisible furry hand 13 years ago
    
    Leni Riefenstahl?

    Prince Harry?

  Left-handed at that. Nice.

Is this a trailer for National Treasure 3? Benjamin Gates tracks the gold FDR confiscated to a public high school in Detroit?

Hey Payne, you spelled "great" and "schools" wrong, and used the incorrect version of "to". Who's your editor? You should get a new one.
1. invisible furry hand 13 years ago
  
  He also misspelt federashun and teechers. Not that Joe Biden would notice
  1. Suki 13 years ago
    
    No fair giving Joe spelling tests longer than three letters.
Restoras 13 years ago

Bok. You made me chuckle.
Longtorso 13 years ago

No, even w/ the new format, Payne still brings the pain. I did like the crap on the margins forcing the cartoon down to where you need to page down to see it. Protecting users from their own stupidity if they hit a Payne link.

When did Paul Newman replace his left arm with a beige pitchfork?
1. General Butt Naked 13 years ago
  
  When he lost his thumb in the Great Vinaigrette Fire of aught-two.
  1. LTC(ret) John 13 years ago
    
    +1 dressing
2. Rich 13 years ago
  
  "Paul Newman"?!
  
  With the hairplugs and flashy smile, Henry has no need to label our gaffin' veep.
  1. General Butt Naked 13 years ago
    
    Explain the pitchfork arm then, smartguy.
    1. Rich 13 years ago
      
      A tool for maintaining Amtrak.
      1. General Butt Naked 13 years ago
        
        Well, we know about Joe Biden. What about the arm, man?
        
        Scruffy Nerfherder 13 years ago
        
        Forget about the arm, what's the deal with the War of the Worlds Martian ship posing as a microphone?
        
        Rich 13 years ago
        
        A *microphone*? I thought it was a cattail.

The good news is, the doors to this school have been sheetrocked over so nobody has to go in anymore.

  Grade inflation.
2. Auric Demonocles 13 years ago
  
  The worst grade imaginable.
  1. LTC(ret) John 13 years ago
    
    A solid B+?
    1. Auric Demonocles 13 years ago
      
      I can't even imagine that.

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

  the suspense is killing me
  1. Rich 13 years ago
    
    I'm afraid letting the script complete will automatically sign me up for Schemer.

Henry Payne perfectly captures the hypocrisy of Vice President Joe Biden's recent trip to the Detroit public school system.

We'll be the judge of that.
Brian from Texas 13 years ago

Is their anybody even still living in Detroit to greet Mr. Biden or did they have to bus them in from elsewhere?

  the guy who is bulldozing the homes still lives there...
  and wears his "Shovel Ready" t-shirt proudly...
  1. Francisco d Anconia 13 years ago
    
    Does he break the windows before bulldozing homes? I hear that helps.

Why must I be tolerant of your lifestyle choices but you do not have to be tolerant of my religious choices?
1. General Butt Naked 13 years ago
  
  Because you suck. Trust me, it's for your own good.

  That's just how some folks fill their chickens.
  1. Bucky 13 years ago
    
    ...choke their chickens.

  So much fail. Sexual orientation is not a choice; religion is. It's not about their religious choices, it's about their funding groups which want to outlaw homosexual behavior (not just same sex marriages) and divorce and porn.
  
  Also, wrong thread, Poindexter.

They shouldn't have let Biden write the sign himself. Now they look like idiots.
Loki 13 years ago

So we're supposed to believe that people who can't spell "great" and "schools" correctly would get the much harder words american, federation, and president right? I can only suspend my disbelief so much.
Almanian's Evil Twin 13 years ago

HAH! This was already in Detroit News, so I got to see it earlier this week and not laugh! Now I've wasted time coming here and seeing it and not laughing AGAIN, after scrolling through all the shit on the page to get to the cartoon.

I've PWNED myself

*sad face*
Gindjurra 13 years ago

Heh. Grate schools? No wonder so many kids slip through the cracks in Detroit.
