  1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

    So that's how he bribed Christie to win the election for him.

    1. Counterfly Guard   12 years ago

      It was a tuna fish sandwich on whole wheat, a slice of cherry pie and a cup of coffee. Damn good food. FOE, if you ever get up this way, that cherry pie is worth a stop.

      1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

        I always thought Diane was the name of his tape recorder.

        1. Counterfly Guard   12 years ago

          YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP. HEARING'S GONE. LONG STORY.

  2. gaijin   12 years ago

    So the govt is Mr Creosote Jones? Where's the followup panel showing him vomiting into a bucket right before he explodes?

  3. Drake   12 years ago

    Why does the government have a penis on it's head?

    1. Counterfly Guard   12 years ago

      To fuck you, that's why.

      1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

        To is the new because.

        1. Counterfly Guard   12 years ago

          I run all my responses through 7 random languages on google translate, and then back to esperanto, and then post them.

          I've found it's the safest way to keep the Feds from swooping down on me like a Mexican pork cloud.

          1. Rabban   12 years ago

            I took your post, ran it through seven languages, and then back to English. It came out, "Agip in 7 languages ??to run random Google translator, and then back to English, and then send it.

            I have to protect the data, and the Mexican government has found a way to keep the pork like a cloud," It was staying pretty much in shape till the Russian to Hindi to Arabic and then back to English combo.

            1. Flatulent Monkey   12 years ago

              Dine bananer er ikke helt modne.

          2. Almanian!   12 years ago

            Mexican pork cloud

            RAAAAAAAC....I mean, delicious!

            1. WTF   12 years ago

              Band name!

          3. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

            Super Karate Monkey Death Car.

    2. Fatty Bolger   12 years ago

      For the same reason it has a plastic man arm. Payne can't draw for shit.

  4. sage   12 years ago

    What the hell is being served there? Placenta jello?

    1. gaijin   12 years ago

      Republicans?

    2. Almanian!   12 years ago

      Man?

      1. LTC(ret) John   12 years ago

        IT'S A COOKBOOK!

  5. sage   12 years ago

    Also, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    1. Almanian!   12 years ago

      If I were you, I would have said that, too.

  6. PS   12 years ago

    "Bring me a bucket!"

  7. Mr Whipple   12 years ago

    Not bad. I give it a 3 out of 5.

  8. H. Reardon   12 years ago

    Who would put put guppies and pubic hair in their cheery pie?

    Barack Obama, that's who!

    1. Question of Auban   12 years ago

      Michelle cooked the pie. They are both from her.

    2. Ted S.   12 years ago

      I think it's Anita Hill who put the pubic hair in the cheery [sic] pie.

      1. H. Reardon   12 years ago

        No Ted. It's a cheery pie. Full of government rah, rah.

  9. mr simple   12 years ago

    So the US government is a greedy white fatcat and Obama has to serve it like a slave? That's racist.

  10. WTF   12 years ago

    So, Obama is giving up any pretense of fiscal restraint for Lent?
    Doesn't seem like much of a sacrifice.

  11. sage   12 years ago

    Put Chewbacca's head on the seated person and you probably have a typical evening at the white house.

  12. nicole, dirty poet laureate   12 years ago

    Red wine
    It is, they say
    The blood of gov, and cake
    The food of fools. But they want more!
    Bad carbs.

  13. Flatulent Monkey   12 years ago

    I didn't know that Tyler Perry had scoliosis.

  14. Almanian!   12 years ago

    All is lost
    A wan look on his face
    He eats but does not taste
    He drinks but does not enjoy
    Government over, against and despite The People?
    The horror
    The horror

    *takes drag from clove cigarette and puts down bongos*

    1. Question of Auban   12 years ago

      Apocalypse Now is how I first learned about Frazer's book "The Golden Bough" which is shown in the film. Fascinating book ? as is the book that Apocalypse Now itself is based upon ? Heart of Darkness.

      1. Longtorso   12 years ago

        I'm thinking of going batshit crazy in my quest to hunt down and kill Payne and Bok, going native and setting up my own cult following until the govt sends SugarFree to come get me.

  15. Longtorso   12 years ago

    Obama a waiter! Racist!

    1. Question of Auban   12 years ago

      Obama a president! Racist!

      I actually have far more respect and admiration for waiters than I do for politicians. Waiters provide a valuable service and usually don't send people off to die in pointless wars or tell the FBI to spy on innocent people.

      1. Xenocles   12 years ago

        Would you like the joke explained to you, or is this prompting going to be sufficient?

  16. General Butt Naked   12 years ago

    Wow Payne, your dipping into "so bad it should be illegal" territory with this "funny".

  17. LTC(ret) John   12 years ago

    You people are slacking...NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ!

  18. The Late P Brooks   12 years ago

    I don't get it. Maybe if it had some labels.

    1. LTC(ret) John   12 years ago

      Exactly!

      /The Committee to Encourage Moar Labelz

  19. The Late P Brooks   12 years ago

    I run all my responses through 7 random languages on google translate, and then back to esperanto, and then post them.

    No Vogon rhyming dictionary?

    I am disappoint.

    1. LTC(ret) John   12 years ago

      And no gratuitous use of the word "Belgium". 🙁

    2. Counterfly Guard   12 years ago

      Adams suffers from the Metallica Effect: The movie was so bad that it retroactively makes the books less good.

      1. Question of Auban   12 years ago

        There were two movies I think. The 2005 one and another one from the 1980's - maybe that was a tv series but in any case it was horrible.

        But the radio series - the radio series was BRILLIANT.

        1. Tim   12 years ago

          The BBC video was low budget but they pulled it off.

  20. nicole, dirty poet laureate   12 years ago

    Dear Prez
    Just put it down
    "But she's my cherry pie!"
    She makes a grown man cry about
    His cash

  21. Stephdumas   12 years ago

    Henry Payne is right on target. I could imagine a Quebec version showing current Quebec Premier Pauline Marois giving food to the Quebec government.

    1. nicole, dirty poet laureate   12 years ago

      But she would be feeding them horsemeat.

  22. Tim   12 years ago

    Doggerel verse
    From bad to worse
    I flunked English Lit
    that means I don't get
    and you'll put my brain in a hearse.

  23. Jack the Reaper   12 years ago

    Sometimes I can at least tell what he is trying to do but I utterly at a loss on this one.
