Former President Bill Clinton went to bat for Barack Obama in a big way at the DNC Convention in Charlotte. Chip Bok thinks he should have brought up one last issue before leaving the stage.

    This is like Garfield minus Garfield. Very existential.

    1. Bee Tagger   13 years ago

      It's a comment on the brevity of his presidency and thus a comment on the brevity of life. Brought to you by Chip Boktre.

  2. invisible furry hand   13 years ago

    Bill Clinton is groping an invisible intern's norks. Interesting.

    1. Drax the Destroyer   13 years ago

      I think he is using a giant invisible cigar on giant(fat) invisible intern.

      1. WTF   13 years ago

        So now I get what his right hand is doing...

  3. LTC(ret) John   13 years ago

    OK, maybe it is my browser, or maybe I just don't appreciate this one...but I cannot see anything above Billy Jeff's hair.

    1. WTF   13 years ago

      Neither can I. Wait, maybe that's the point? Whoa....

      1. LTC(ret) John   13 years ago

        I went to another site and saw the full , uh, cartoon. He's askign the empty chair why did you gut my welfare reform?

        So, I guess Bok didn't go Dadaist on us. Just more of the same ol' same ol'. Well, there was only one label.

    2. Tim   13 years ago

      Same issue, but probably an improvement.

  4. anomdebus   13 years ago

    So's youse don't haves ta waits

  5. sarcasmic   13 years ago

    Here's a linky to the whole cartoon.

    http://www.bokbluster.com/2012.....on-speech/

    Not that it matters. It's not like it's funny or anything.

    1. WTF   13 years ago

      It was better without the words.

    2. LTC(ret) John   13 years ago

      I managed to hold my anticipation down. Somehow.

    3. Tim   13 years ago

      It's Reason's new crap filter.

      1. Bobarian   13 years ago

        Then it's working wonderfully.

  6. Whiterun Guard   13 years ago

    So the DNC changed their symbol from a donkey to some sort of albino jellyfish?

    Was this out of deference to Clinton?

    1. LTC(ret) John   13 years ago

      Hasn't Clinton shown a preference for semi-amorphous, soft, white interns and staffers?

      1. invisible furry hand   13 years ago

        and dough. Don't forget dough.

  7. mr simple   13 years ago

    Is that lightening striking a very skinny W.C. Fields? Oh, I get it.

  8. Fist of Etiquette   13 years ago

    The word balloon punchline:

    So the doctor asks what's the problem, and the albino tribble answers, "I've got a Karl Malden stuck to my ass."

    1. LTC(ret) John   13 years ago

      I like your version better.

  9. Mongo   13 years ago

    I get it - it's an optical illusion. Is it a top view of the chair going toward us or the bottom of the chair going away from us?

  10. Jesus H. Christ   13 years ago

    Stephen Fry can't even vote in the US. Why is he at the DNC?
