  1. Longtorso   13 years ago

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

    1. some guy   13 years ago

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

      1. Drax the Destroyer   13 years ago

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

      2. LTC(ret) John   13 years ago

        A Portrait in Smart Diplomacy Grey?

  2. Fist of Etiquette   13 years ago

    Geez. I don't care for Lisa Lampanelli's stand-up either but I just change the channel.

    1. Bee Tagger   13 years ago

      Clearly, Eddie Pepitone isn't a fan either.

  3. John Galt   13 years ago

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

    Man, truth sucks.

    1. Cavpitalist   13 years ago

      I always thought you would have better grammar.

  4. Suki   13 years ago

    Yawn. Good morning reason.

    1. Almanian.   13 years ago

      I thought you were dead? Good morning, Suki!

      1. Suki   13 years ago

        Good morning.

    2. Longtorso   13 years ago

      Shut up Suki, you're still dead.

      1. Suki   13 years ago

        No I'm not.

  5. John Galt   13 years ago

    BTW awesome likeness of Hillary. It's so hag, very life-like. 4.8 stars out of 5.0

    1. PS   13 years ago

      Sorry, but not nearly smug enough a smirk in the second frame.

  6. avsteele   13 years ago

    Fair is fair. This comic is good

  7. AuH2O   13 years ago

    NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ!

    1. LTC(ret) John   13 years ago

      Yeah - I can't tell who, what, where or when on this one, Bok!

      1. invisible furry hand   13 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   13 years ago

          Now if only Bok had labeled thusly.

  8. Spoonman.   13 years ago

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

  9. invisible furry hand   13 years ago

    Why are they all singing an old Smiths song?

    1. Ken Shultz   13 years ago

      They Lied About Benghazi is a hidden track on...is it Meat is Murder?

  10. Restoras   13 years ago

    The guillotine for Bok and Paine. Quickly.

  11. AuH2O   13 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   13 years ago

      My thoughts exactly.

    2. some guy   13 years ago

      If you stop encouraging him, he will go back to being an F student. Do you really want that?

      1. AuH2O   13 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!

    3. General Butt Naked   13 years ago

      I give him an F, the drawing still sux.

  12. some guy   13 years ago

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

  13. mr simple   13 years ago

    Is the "we" who re-elected them really the same as the people yelling about Benghazi?

    1. Fatty Bolger   13 years ago

      What difference does it make?

      1. LTC(ret) John   13 years ago

        Are you serious? Are you serious?

  14. Almanian.   13 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??

    1. PS   13 years ago

      How should I know?

    2. Jerry on the boat   13 years ago

      Suicide bombing kills one outside U.S. Embassy in Turkey.

      1. Jesus H. Christ   13 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.

  15. gaijin   13 years ago

    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   13 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   13 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.]

  16. General Butt Naked   13 years ago

    Marvels of the Science

    I leaned sooo much.

    1. Rich   13 years ago

      "Up against The Wall of Science!"

  17. Tim   13 years ago

    Rock me Dr. Zaius.

  18. anon   13 years ago

    Definitely needs more labels.

  19. AlmightyJB   13 years ago

    I don't get it. What's so funny?

  20. Jesus H. Christ   13 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.

  21. Proprietist   13 years ago

    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.
