  1. Fist of Etiquette   13 years ago

    I accept this cartoon.

  2. Pound. Head. On. Desk.   13 years ago

    The Maine Compromise?

  3. Untermensch   13 years ago

    By Bok's standards this counts as the world's funniest joke. I give it a solid C, which with grade inflation for Bok counts as an A++++

  4. WTF   13 years ago

    This cartoon makes no sense. Everyone knows Ron Paul didn't have any delegates.

    1. Shmurphy   13 years ago

      sadlol

    2. GILMORE   13 years ago

      There is no Ron Paul (hand gesture). These aren't the droids you're looking for.

  5. invisible furry hand   13 years ago

    They do not appear to be fighting the power

  6. Bardas Phocas   13 years ago

    Needs more strippers.

  7. Whiterun Guard   13 years ago

    Man, Teen Wolf Too's best friend hasn't aged well. And why is he dating the mom from American Dad?

    Remember the Maine?

    1. Fist of Etiquette   13 years ago

      Fine, you wanna play this game?

      "Here we see netminder Victoria Jackson expressing surprise to coach Phil Hartman that they would seat fans so close behind the net in one of SNL's more esoteric skits."

      1. NebulousFocus   13 years ago

        FTW

      2. mr simple   13 years ago

        But what is Scooter from the Muppets doing in the cage?

  8. Longtorso   13 years ago

    You don't understand the depth of Bok. He drew it so you can't tell who is in the cage, the Paulites or the GOP establishment. Who has who trapped? It's layers upon layers man.

    1. db   13 years ago

      Whoa...

    2. LTC(ret) John   13 years ago

      Mind. Blown.

  9. Srungbee   13 years ago

    lol, gotta love those bought and paid for politicians.

    http://www.IP-Privacy.tk

    1. invisible furry hand   13 years ago

      anonbot, we both know you can do better than that. For heaven's sake, this is a Chip Bok Friday Funny. It's an open goal

      1. LTC(ret) John   13 years ago

        Just hasn't been the same since LimpoSimpo left the anon line-up.

        1. EDG reppin' LBC   13 years ago

          TiggyFooo!

  10. invisible furry hand   13 years ago

    where's Clint Eastwood's cage?

    1. SugarFree   13 years ago

      The GOP likes to trot out Eastwood or Heston out occasionally to remind everyone they really are the party for cranky old men. After they are gone, the GOP will have to settle on belting their pants around their ribcage and complaining about the price of bananas.

      1. invisible furry hand   13 years ago

        Too bad Chuck was cremated. Exhuming Heston and using him as a handpuppet would certainly get my vote. If I were eligible to vote, of course

        1. Night Elf Mohawk   13 years ago

          I think voting eligibility rules are just suggestions.

        2. Rich   13 years ago

          Just show up without ID, ifh, and make a bit of a stink if challenged. It'll be fine.

      2. Tim   13 years ago

        Eastwood turds bigger than you.

        1. SugarFree   13 years ago

          I have nothing but praise for cranky old men. I hope to be one myself.

          1. Tim   13 years ago

            Yeah well I could have used the 😉 but it seems, you know, kinda gay.

            1. Tim   13 years ago

              NTTAWWT

          2. mad libertarian guy   13 years ago

            I'm only 36 and I can firmly say that I'm already a cranky old man. Age is just a state of mind, man.

            Now get the fuck off my lawn. Why? Because this 12 gauge fucking says so, goddammit.

            1. SugarFree   13 years ago

              I feel old and I'm all man, but the cranky is only fits and starts. I just helped an injured bird... that's about a 4 on the crankometer.

              1. mad libertarian guy   13 years ago

                I would totally help an injured bird. I helped 4 newborn rabbits brought in by one of my dogs this year. They all died, but I fucking helped, goddammit.

                1. SugarFree   13 years ago

                  You must feel the crankiness flow within you.

                  It was a rock dove. He let me pick him up, so I was going to carry over to where I hoped a campus cat would get him. He looked in the eye and then flew out of my hand. I think I healed him. My Messiah Complex is coming along nicely.

                  1. SugarFree   13 years ago

                    so I was going to carry him over to where I hoped a campus cat wouldn't get him

                    I may be divine, but it sure hasn't helped my typing any.

              2. wareagle   13 years ago

                helping birds is a sign of humanity; it's yelling at kids and the television that confirms your crankiness.

                1. T   13 years ago

                  W00T! I'm in the club. My wife occasionally reminds me that the people on the screen can't hear me and that I need to use my inside voice.

                  She also reminds me that referring to the neighborhood kids as "the junior stepford club" and "little twaffles" gets the neighbors mad enough to show up at the front door.

                  1. EDG reppin' LBC   13 years ago

                    Little twaffles? Exactly what the fuck is going on over there?

      3. Whiterun Guard   13 years ago

        Nah, by then Bruce Willis will be old enough to take up the flag.

  11. Rich   13 years ago

    Good thing the people walking by -- *obviously* Mitt and Ann -- are not throwing nuts into the cage. Haw!

  12. Tim   13 years ago

    Eastwood's best line; "We own this country, you guys are our employees."

  13. Brian from Texas   13 years ago

    I wonder if they got nostalgic for the 1950s are marked separate public drinking fountains: one for 'Occupier' and one for 'Ron Paul Supporter'?

  14. Broseph of Invention   13 years ago

    Props to the old Rockabilly guy for hiding his boner in his waistband, though it appears he's still in the process of adjusting. Red shirt knows what I'm talking about.

  15. Jesus H. Christ   13 years ago

    I can actually recognize this as a cartoon, with the attempt to achieve a humorous response from the viewer. Well done!
