    OT: A link for Kristen.

    1. Gene   12 years ago

      I love that Jesus one

  2. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

    Why does Cosby insist on wearing that Bart Simpson costume?

  3. Ted S.   12 years ago

    NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ!!!

  4. Lord Humungus   12 years ago

    ha! ha. h. a.

    1. Swiss Servator - past LTC(ret)   12 years ago

      No, no, it is more like HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!1!1

      1. Lord Humungus   12 years ago

        I haven't had any coffee yet.

  5. db   12 years ago

    Jeebus, that melting arm and the hairy teeth growing out of his lip are pretty frickin' creepy.

  6. gaijin   12 years ago

    Why is he putting on lipstick, wearing an earring, and a princess crown?

    1. BakedPenguin   12 years ago

      The crown should be obvious. I think the lipstick is to go along with the grey pancake makeup on the rest of his face.

  7. Fatty Bolger   12 years ago

    The artwork is creepy as shit... but damned if there isn't an actual joke in there, for once.

  8. Bee Tagger   12 years ago

    Mortimer Ichabod Marker is the real President.

    1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

      Picture Pages reference. Deep cuts.

  9. db   12 years ago

    To whoever posted the link yesterday to Horse Ecomics, thanks. I haven't laughed that hard at work since I resigned from my last job.

    1. Lord Humungus   12 years ago

      linky?

      1. db   12 years ago

    2. Warrren   12 years ago

      I aim to serve. Actually, I serve A.I.M. but that's almost the same thing.

  10. Fatty Bolger   12 years ago

    Obamacare

    Obamacare

    1. John   12 years ago

      Those are pretty good.

  11. creech   12 years ago

    Jeez, an African elephant has smaller ears.
    The crown, or a halo, is a nice touch - all political cartoonists should use it.

    1. John   12 years ago

      Between the ears, the skinny geeky look, the delusions of grandeur and the general creepiness of his supporters, Obama is really the easiest President to ridicule since Nixon. Nixon always had the aura of the really smart guy who never quite fit in and was really pissed off about it. That made ridiculing him very easy. Obama is just as easy.

      1. wingnutx   12 years ago

        Except that would be racist.

  12. Anomalous   12 years ago

    This sucks less than usual.

  13. Loki   12 years ago

    Worst. Cartoon. Ever.

    1. wingnutx   12 years ago

      Really, out of all the Chip Bok cartoons?

  14. Jesus H. Christ   12 years ago

    Why is Jughead suffering jaundice? And why is he pretending to felate that pencil? Is he trying to turn on Veronica, or maybe Archie? This is one sick cartoon.
