Henry Payne

Hey, the economy is going up! Not bad for an amateur, Mr. President.

[CampingInYourPark]

“Hiring slowed sharply in March, with the economy adding only 88,000 jobs, the lowest monthly gain since last June.
The unemployment rate slipped to 7.6%, according to a Labor Department report released Friday. But it’s not good news: It’s because nearly 500,000 people dropped out of the labor market.”

[Fist of Etiquette]

That’s not what the cartoon shows. Open your eyes.

[Loki]

Yeah, “Camping”, if that is your real name, what are you gonna believe: a bunch of racist statistics, your own lying racist eyes or this symbolic cartoon?

[Ted S.]

That’s unexpected.

[Almanian!]

1) Showing a black person playing basketball = RACIST
2) Showing a black person being BAD at basketball = FANTASY
3) Comment #2 = RACIST
4) Why does the backboard have a giant bird poop splashed across it? Why is he playing with a bent up rim? Why is he shooting a kickball instead of a basketball? Are you implying he’s POOR because he’s BLACK? RACIST.

Overall Score: RACIST

Plus: Needs more labels.

4) Why does the backboard have a giant bird poop splashed across it?

I thought the backboard glass was broken from throwing all those bricks.

[gaijin]

It’s from him hanging on the rim when he made his 2 shots. Also, I read your name as Best Of All Possible Trannies. I must have issues to work out.

[invisible furry hand]

I just googled “Best Of All Possible Trannies” images. That’ll teach me.

[LTC(ret) John]

Jeez, why didn’t you just add a search for “Sugarfree’s dungeon” while you were at it?!

[Restoras]

I don’t understand what the backboard is supposed to represent without a label on it.

[Longtorso]

Jeez, why didn’t you just add a search for “Sugarfree’s dungeon” while you were at it?!

I did, and now Google says I’m on a government list.

[$park?]

Broken window backboard. STIMULUS!

[a better weapon]

[alan_s]

I think I’m starting to grasp the full meaning of this comic. If only he had labeled that on the backboard in the first place.

[generic Brand]

I like how you are the second comment, thus racist.

[Best Of All Possible Tyrannies]

No, the economy is not rebounding.

[Auric Demonocles]

A rebound is when a player grabs the ball after a missed shot. The player is the one performing the act, and since no one is doing that, the economy has not been rebounded in the picture.

[TheSpiteHouse]

Wait, what does the broken backboard represent the inferior quality of Chinese-made goods?

[some guy]

No it represents the creation of jobs. (Think windows)

[Question of Auban]

Is this cartoon a commentary on Bastiat’s discussion of the Broken Window Fallacy?

[invisible furry hand]

what’s with the fascist salute with the left arm?

[Capt Ace Rimmer]

Notice the 1# jersey. Megalomaniac dig?

[some guy]

Alright Reason. Seriously. How much do you pay Payne for these panels? Because if it’s more than the cost of a used stick of gum you’re getting ripped off.

[LTC(ret) John]

Wait..Reason pays Payne?!

[invisible furry hand]

I don’t believe it. He pays Reason, which needs the cash for its new palace

[LTC(ret) John]

That is waaaaay more believable.

[alan_s]

If it wasn’t for Payne, we wouldn’t have all of the Friday morning comments on his comic to look forward to.

[Ted S.]

Shouldn’t Obama have a bunch of sycophants around him telling how well he’s shooting the ball?

[LTC(ret) John]

Kruggie in a referee outfit, signalling two points?

[Restoras]

No – 4 points!

[Longtorso]

No – 4 points!

Multiplier!!!!

[invisible furry hand]

he’s wearing a gimp suit, trying to sing Obama’s praise through the ball-gag

[LTC(ret) John]

Gee thanks for that…I will go and quietly dry heave in a corner somewhere. Back in a little while.

[Question of Auban]

There is a classic Onion article which has great relevance to this cartoon:

Congress Passes Americans With No Abilities Act

http://www.theonion.com/articl…..s-act,541/

[Mainer2]

Holy Shite…is that Reid, Feinstein, and Kerry in that pic of Clinton ?
Exactly how long have those idiots been in Washington ?

[gaijin]

Shouldn’t there be a republican getting called for goaltending?

[LTC(ret) John]

[$park?]

Why is there a big CLANG! next to the Economy? Are you trying to say the Chinese own the economy?

[Longtorso]

Bonus Payne via Instapundit.

[Rich]

Henry missed a chance to have Obama pulling a Kevin Ware, with the leg labeled “President’s Budget”.

[Restoras]

Oh snap!

[$park?]

And boom goes the tibia!

[hamilton]

Wait, who’s the guy shooting the ball?

[SumpTump]

Sounds like a pretty good plan to me dude.

If Obama had his way, NBA hoops would be four feet off the ground and ten feet in diameter.

[db]

If I had my way, basketball would be inverted:

The basket would be a ring 3′ in diameter, 20′ upin the air, that players would have to throw the ball up through. There would be a backboard below and above the ring, and points would only be scored if the ball was caught after passing upward through the ring, in bounds, by a member of the shooting team.

And checking in the vicinity of the goal would be allowed.

[Restoras]

WARNING – TROLL ALERT

The jobs print was horrific. 88K (half what is required just to keep up with population growth) and 500,000 left the workforce. European markets, weak before the print, are falling further.

If Shreek!! bothers to show his head today he’ll be spinning like a gyroscope.

[CampingInYourPark]

But the S&P index is at an all time high!

[Mike M.]

“Dow Jones! Dow Jones! Dow Jones!!”

-Shrieking Idiot

[db]

If you push him down he’ll deflect to the right?

[CampingInYourPark]

Oh…I found the scapegoat:

“Stock index futures sharply extended losses on Friday after data showed American employers hired at the slowest pace in nine months in March, a sign that Washington’s austerity drive could be stealing momentum from the economy.”

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/…..38153.html

Austerity is to blame!

[Loki]

Gee, what a surprise…

Any bad economic news is going to be balmed on AWESTERITY!!!!/ SEKWESTER!!!111!!, which is all the fault of those EVUL RETHUGLICANS (even though Obama signed to bill) for the foreseeable future. It would be funny if weren’t so utterly predictable, and if so many people weren’t going to buy the bullshit.

[Ted S.]

The local TV news was busy finding sob stories from the Watervliet Arsenal because of furloughs that aren’t supposed to go into effect for I think three months yet.

All these goddamn government workers whining about the difficulty of paying their bills had me yelling at the TV that they need to think about the difficulty regular people are having paying their taxes.

[The Late P Brooks]

I hope that’s not a high capacity basketball reloading device in the background. And it had better not have a thing that goes up.

It should have been labeled.

[General Butt Naked]

Another friday morning ruined.

Thanks hank, you fuck.

Jesus.

[Ted S.]

I visit reason with only cached images set to load.

I don’t have to see Henry Payne’s ?uvre unless I actively choose to.

[John Galt]

Sigh. I can’t even laugh anymore.

[Auric Demonocles]

Needs more labels. And alt-text is really just the best kind of label.

[Proprietist]

Obama is the ultimate flopper, and the press are the gullible referees.

[plusafdotcom]

… and that would be on a GOOD day… so sad…

[lenaheadey572]
