  1. Fist of Etiquette   14 years ago

    This cartoon exists.

    1. Longtorso   14 years ago

      Does it? Does it _really_?

      If a Bok joke falls flat in a corn field and nobody is there, does it make a sound?

      1. Whiterun Guard   14 years ago

        He who Boks behind the rows.

      2. Almanian's Evil Twin   14 years ago

        Does a pig shit in the woods?

        1. invisible furry hand   14 years ago

          Does the Pope?

          1. mr simple   14 years ago

            And does the Pope crap on the broken lives and dreams of 200 deaf boys?

          2. Almanian's Evil Twin   14 years ago

            You know who did shit in the woods...

            1. Restoras   14 years ago

              Jesus?

            2. LTC(ret) John   14 years ago

              ManBearPig?

            3. Skip   14 years ago

              The Kaiser?

  2. invisible furry hand   14 years ago

    Hey Reason, the third panel with the joke is missing

    1. Fist of Etiquette   14 years ago

      Third pane:

      "Hey, asshole, camera's over here."

  3. mr simple   14 years ago

    So this is what happens to a brain on ethanol. So sad.

  4. Hugh Akston   14 years ago

    Needs moar crying Statue of Liberty.

  5. Whiterun Guard   14 years ago

    Why is Eugene Levy giving a meatball on a fork to Marty Feldman?

    Oh wait I get it, something to do with gay marriage?

    1. Fist of Etiquette   14 years ago

      "...feed this shriveled ear of corn to my pigs." You know that's code, right?

      1. WTF   14 years ago

        Okay, now ^that^ actually made me chuckle.

  6. Caleb Turberville   14 years ago

    Chip Bok's cartoons need an urban sensibility. That's what's "edgy" today.

    1. Longtorso   14 years ago

      urban

      RACIST!!!!

    2. Caleb Turberville   14 years ago

      "...Because I have to feed it to my truck. Dyno-MITE!"

      1. LTC(ret) John   14 years ago

        + JJ

    3. Jesus H. Christ   14 years ago

      In that case, the truck should be an El Camino with spinners. "I gots to feed dis to my elco, muhtherfucker."

  7. Almanian's Evil Twin   14 years ago

    If I were sage, I would say, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

    Happy Friday, Reasonoids.

    1. sage   14 years ago

      I came here to say something like that, but you put it much better.

      1. Almanian's Evil Twin   14 years ago

        You are too kind

        *blushes*

  8. Longtorso   14 years ago

    Chip Bok, you do realize who ELSE was a failed artist......

    1. Almanian's Evil Twin   14 years ago

      Mikey Tuttle?

    2. Rich   14 years ago

      Tonya Harding?

      1. invisible furry hand   14 years ago

        Careful with those jokes Rich:

        Contrary to public opinion, Tonya Harding is an intelligent, caring and very sensitive person. Even though she will deny it to some of her friends, ugly remarks hurt her feelings.

        So there.

        1. Rich   14 years ago

          OTOH

          She reads just about everything written about her but tries not to take it all too seriously.

          She's not worried, ifh, so neither am I.

  9. Rich   14 years ago

    I have to feed to my truck.

    "Of course, it's a gas HOG!"

  10. Caleb Turberville   14 years ago

    If I can give the cartoon more analysis than it deserves, the failure is not the second panel. It makes a witty remark about using food for fuel.

    The problem is the first panel. What relevance does it have? Has this been a bad year for corn growers?

    1. Rich   14 years ago

      It's a two-fer, Caleb. Chip packs as much relevance as possible into the space he's allotted.

    2. Restoras   14 years ago

      Something about a drought in the mid-west, dustbowl conditions, and a bad corn crop?

    3. PM   14 years ago

      Just in case that wasn't sarcasm:

      http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08.....ustry.html

  11. Troy muy grande boner   14 years ago

    B-

  12. Shmurphy   14 years ago

    Chip Bok cartoons are where humor goes to die.
