Damn you Bok for finally doing a comic I may want to forward.

  He really captured the fact that Clinton is growing more hideous by the minute. Both externally and internally.

    No, her outer shell is merely starting to reflect the void within.

Geez. I don't care for Lisa Lampanelli's stand-up either but I just change the channel.
1. Bee Tagger 12 years ago
  
  Clearly, Eddie Pepitone isn't a fan either.
John Galt 12 years ago

Ha ha ha! You're right! We're a country full of re-election retards!

Man, truth sucks.

  I always thought you would have better grammar.

Yawn. Good morning reason.

  I thought you were dead? Good morning, Suki!
  1. Suki 12 years ago
    
    Good morning.
2. Longtorso 12 years ago
  
  Shut up Suki, you're still dead.
  1. Suki 12 years ago
    
    No I'm not.

BTW awesome likeness of Hillary. It's so hag, very life-like. 4.8 stars out of 5.0
1. PS 12 years ago
  
  Sorry, but not nearly smug enough a smirk in the second frame.

Fair is fair. This comic is good

NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ!
1. LTC(ret) John 12 years ago
  
  Yeah - I can't tell who, what, where or when on this one, Bok!
  1. invisible furry hand 12 years ago
    
    I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
    
    Hope that clarifies matters
    1. LTC(ret) John 12 years ago
      
      Now if only Bok had labeled thusly.

I have been reading this blog for five years and this is the first decent Friday Funny in all that time.

Why are they all singing an old Smiths song?

The guillotine for Bok and Paine. Quickly.
AuH2O 12 years ago

Guys, I think some of you are making the mistake of confusing Chip Bok not producing political cartoons which are a travesty not just by the standards of politcal cartoons, but by the scibblings of a 5 year old on your refridgrator, for Chip Bok being actually good.

Bok produced something that was true, and not horribly drawn or filled with labels. It was easily comprehensible, and it made a relevant point with minimal fluffing. However, it still suffers from Bok's "overstate the obvious" problem, and it is also simply not actually funny.

Congratulations. The F student got a C-
1. iggy 12 years ago
  
  My thoughts exactly.
2. some guy 12 years ago
  
  If you stop encouraging him, he will go back to being an F student. Do you really want that?
  1. AuH2O 12 years ago
    
    If we encourage him, he is going to start thinking that he people. Then, he'll start eating at the table, which he'll promptly knock over with his dead little junkie hands. And food will spill all over the floor and do you know what we'll get?
    
    ...
    
    What was that?!
    
    ...
    
    Exactly! ANTS! THAT IS HOW WE GET ANTS!

  I give him an F, the drawing still sux.

Way to be, Bok. Two properly cynical libertarian 'comics' in a row. He's on a roll...

Is the "we" who re-elected them really the same as the people yelling about Benghazi?
1. Fatty Bolger 12 years ago
  
  What difference does it make?
  1. LTC(ret) John 12 years ago
    
    Are you serious? Are you serious?
Almanian. 12 years ago

Wow, this is so last news cycle.

Also, fried chicken.

Happy Friday, Reasonoids.

PS Why are Dick Cheney and Debbie Wasserman Schultz hanging out together? And worse, watching Courtney Love on TeeVee??

  How should I know?

  Suicide bombing kills one outside U.S. Embassy in Turkey.
  1. Jesus H. Christ 12 years ago
    
    "Kills Two..." should be. I saw the headline and assumed either a) the bomber killed only himself, or b) somehow, the bomber survived and killed someone else, which, I would think, other would-be bombers would find very encouraging. Nope, the bomber killed two people, self and other.

I'm surprised there isn't more of an internet meme around the histrionics of 'What difference does it make?' You could have a photo of Hillary's WDDIM associated with: Lance Armstrong, College Football, Gun Control...bit that it would make a difference
1. John 12 years ago
  
  I think that phrase should stay with her. If SNL was an actual comedy show, they could have had a field day with it and the famous 4 am phone call ad.
  1. R C Dean 12 years ago
    
    If the Republican party had any vertebra, or a single testicle, they could do the same.
    
    But they don't, and they won't.
    
    [darkened bedroom. camera zooms in on telephone next to bed and clock reading 3:00 AM]
    
    RING! RING!
    
    [woman turns on light, answers phone.]
    
    Yes? What is it?
    
    PHONE: Madame President! One of our embassies was just attacked and four killed, including the Ambassador!
    
    PRESIDENT: What difference does it make?
    
    [hangs up phone, yawns, turns out light.]

Definitely needs more labels.

I don't get it. What's so funny?
Jesus H. Christ 12 years ago

Happy pre- Super Bo... er, I mean, Big Game Friday!

And smooches to Bok, for a cartoon that doesn't make my baby self cry.

Somebody needs to create a video to the Smiths song where the Hillary sound clip replaces the chorus.

The line "And you must be looking very old tonight" must cut to a clip of Hillary.
