That's a big bag of coal.
1. Groovus Maximus 13 years ago
  
  Actually, it's your gift, in keeping with the overall theme.
  1. Fist of Etiquette 13 years ago
    
    That's insensitive. To make fun of those of us with unilateral renal agenesis is internet bullying.

      Meh. Your birth, he didn't conceive it...

I get it. The chimney represents our asses.

That's the biggest whoopie cushion I have ever seen.

The problem is the comic implies that Obamacare is a "present" and the pres is like Santa.
1. mad libertarian guy 13 years ago
  
  He certainly sees himself that way.
Groovus Maximus 13 years ago

Why is that elf jumping up and down on a mushroom? Is this supposed to be a psychedelic-flavoured theme?

MOAR LABELZ!!!
1. Whiterun Guard 13 years ago
  
  Dude, that's obviously an orc.
  1. Groovus Maximus 13 years ago
    
    Racist!
    1. Whiterun Guard 13 years ago
      
      For +2 Strength and only -1 Charisma, damn right I'm a racist.
      
      And with Monkey Grip and Improved Reflexes I can dual wield 2-Handed swords with no penalty!

Oh and those state DUI campaign ads - the glorifying the systematic violation of the 4th admendment throughout the country by our police?

They miiight be a little inapropriate for a libertarian magazine to run.
1. some guy 13 years ago
  
  Hey, if you don't want to submit to DUI scans and the occasional cavity search then I suggest you get off the State's roads and find some other way to get home.
  
  We're doing this for the CHILDREN, you monster!
2. Tonio 13 years ago
  
  Aggie, I don't believe the ads are chosen by Reason. The website contracts with an advertising company, the advertising company serves ads based on the perceived relevance.
  
  And sometimes they get it wrong, so I joy in thinking about MADD, etc, wasting their money on a distinctly hostile audience and ultimately subsidizing reason.
  
  Now let's just STFU about this or you'll anger the squirrels and they'll make t-shirt girl go away.

I wonder what's in the bag. I'll bet it ain't presents. It's probably full of kittens. All cute and cuddly. What's not to love? Then you spend the rest of your life paying for something that barely acknowledges you existence...
1. Agammamon 13 years ago
  
  Worse - you spend the rest of your life paying off the cost of the kittens that were smashed and crushed as he forced them down the chimney.
  1. Whiterun Guard 13 years ago
    
    But Bush crushed a lot more kittens!
    1. invisible furry hand 13 years ago
      
      i heard the kittens supported Right-to-work laws, so they deserved it anyway
      1. Whiterun Guard 13 years ago
        
        I the wake of this kitten crushing tragedy, I propose we pass a law banning the crushing of kittens on public property.
        
        I'd like to attach a rider to that law that provides $150B over 3 years to study the long term effects of exposure to violent video games, and also does away with the requirement of a warrant for federal investigators to enter and inspect properties in even numbered zip codes.
        
        Agammamon 13 years ago
        
        Hmm, as a person of even-muberedness I say that this propesed bill is nothing short of racial profiling.
        
        However, in the spirit of bi-partisanship I will fully support an amendment to this bill that requires federal investigators to enter and inspect properties in random zip codes.
        
        Further I believe that we need an IT systtem that will generate the zip codes to be searched and submit an amendment seeking funding for this program.
        
        And I say that m district is uniquely qualified to meet the requirements of this program.

oh its a prolapsed chimney

Last day of existence, and THIS is the cartoon we get? Thanks a ton Reason.
1. Agammamon 13 years ago
  
  Nah, its cool - the Doctor saved us.
  1. Whiterun Guard 13 years ago
    
    Which one? Who? Dre? Detroit?
    1. Agammamon 13 years ago
      
      The secret is that they're all the same guy.
      1. Whiterun Guard 13 years ago
        
        Hrm...you know I have never seen them all in the same place at the same time...
        
        Agammamon 13 years ago
        
        Even if you did it wouldn't mean much, I mean he's a timelord after all.

The states all share one chimney? So much for federalism.

1. Agammamon 13 years ago
  
  Hmm, I'm thinking that you might want to include a description of the video-spam you're linking to.
  1. LTC(ret) John 13 years ago
    
    Yeah, I don't want to see a posting war between our beloved anonybots and this interloper.
Rick Santorum 13 years ago

Shouldn't this have to do with CT shootings. It would be more timely and doubly effective if it were mildly offensive.
1. some guy 13 years ago
  
  Something like a picture of Obama shooting an "assault rifle" at the 2nd Amendment while an elephant shields it with the bodies of children?
  
  That doesn't even make sense, Rick.
Gweskoyen 13 years ago

Obamacare is an extraordinarily generous present, but since the states are an inefficient way to deliver the goods, we obviously need singly-payer health care.

A good cartoon.
1. Agammamon 13 years ago
  
  You're absolutely right - Payne is a secret progrssive.
  
  I say that from now on we only get Bok toons.
Fist of Etiquette 13 years ago

HE'S TRYING TO SMOKE US OUT!
1. LTC(ret) John 13 years ago
  
  CHOOM!
  1. mad libertarian guy 13 years ago
    
    CHOOM!
    
    Gives me a chuckle every time. But not the good kind of laugh; the kind of laugh that you let out when someone farts something nasty and the only thing you can do to respond is laugh.
db 13 years ago

Come on, guys, this one's a masterpiece. Bravo, Henry! Bravo.
1. LTC(ret) John 13 years ago
  
  In a relative way, perhaps.
Kaptious Kristen 13 years ago

I hate to say it, but I kinda like this one.
1. mad libertarian guy 13 years ago
  
  You would.
  
  I don't know why or anything. But you would.
  1. Kaptious Kristen 13 years ago
    
    The Christmapocalypse spirit got to me, I guess.
waaminn 13 years ago

I think Obamacase is going to be good! I need it.,

This would have been funnier if the Obamacare sack was Obama's scrotum and instead of the chimney, he was stuffing it down the throat of the Statue of Liberty. Obama teabagging the Statue of Liberty? Priceless. Also, Lady Liberty is crying.
