  1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

    Seamus the Dog or Seamus the Embezzler?

    1. Almanian!   12 years ago

      True Scots spell it "Seumas".

      /derp

  2. WTF   12 years ago

    NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ

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

      Agreed - if naught else, to cover up the "comic" a bit more...

  3. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

    I'd put the money in the car and the kids on the roof

    1. RBS   12 years ago

      I'd take the money and leave the kids at home.

      1. SugarFree   12 years ago

        Can't leave those kids at home. Two of the boys are looking at their sister like they want to throw a fisting party and the other kid is silent and well-behaved, mesmerized by the sight of cows pooping.

        1. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

          mesmerized by the sight of cows pooping.

          The pink and brown flower slowly reveals its secret. A terrible beauty is born

          1. SugarFree   12 years ago

            Billy only likes them fresh.

  4. PM   12 years ago

    All the subtlety of being slapped in the face with a dead fish, but at least the subject matter is fresh.

  5. UnCivilServant   12 years ago

    ... I don't get it.

  6. Brian D   12 years ago

    Why would she read the words 'vacation checklist' out loud?

    1. WTF   12 years ago

      And why check the checklist after they're already on the road?

      1. Floridian   12 years ago

        Are you married? My wife waits for us to be half way to our destination before asking if I remembered to pack something.

        1. db   12 years ago

          Which means that she forgot just remembered it.

          1. WTF   12 years ago

            ^This. My wife did that to me all the time, realizing she forgot something she needed after we were on our way and wanting to turn around to get it. Until I finally just started saying "oh, well, too late now". Now she's more careful to be sure she doesn't forget anything.

            1. Floridian   12 years ago

              "Did you remember to pack OUR hair dryer?"

              Huh!? Since when do I use a hair dryer?

  7. Almanian!   12 years ago

    Why do they need cash for "rising gas prices"? You don't pay for "prices" - you pay for "gas" So wouldn't the suitcase of cash be to pay "for high-priced gas", rather than "high gas prices"?

    Four kids in the backseat? FOUR? Really? Cause that doesn't look like it has three rows. So four kids in the second row = SOMEONE'S NOT BELTED, cause there is NO car on the market with four backseat belts. Therefore - child abuse.

    Awful.

    As WTF noted above, MOAR LABELZ probably would've helped.

  8. Slammer   12 years ago

    You know who else suitcases and wheelbarrows of money to pay for things made an impression on?

    1. Suthenboy   12 years ago

      Col. Klink?

    2. Almanian!   12 years ago

      Little Orphan Annie?

    3. Doctor Whom   12 years ago

      That guy who sells Zimbabwean $100T bills on eBay?

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

      Whores in Wiemar Germany?

    5. Lord Humungus   12 years ago

      your mom?

    6. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

      Milton Friedman?

  9. Fatty Bolger   12 years ago

    Friday Good News

  10. Generic Stranger   12 years ago

    Friday Hit y Run Checklist:

    Backdated Brickbat, check.

    Shitty Friday funny, check.

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

      Another week in the bag!

      /squirrelz

    2. Ted S.   12 years ago

      It's nice to see I've gotten other people to check the timing of the Brickbats. All that bitching has paid off!

      [rubs palms together in evil glee]

  11. Matrix   12 years ago

    Get stopped by police, and have your money confiscated because they say it's drug money.

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

      "your money confiscated"

      Ahem... your assets forfeited.

      /New Professionalism

    2. John Galt   12 years ago

      You mean like a real American vacation.

  12. RBS   12 years ago

    I'm on a pilgrimage to see a moose.Praise Marty Moose!!

  13. Marc F Cheney   12 years ago

    They should pay with a credit card. PROBLEM SOLVED.

  14. John Galt   12 years ago

    Maybe it should have been a funny about the Obama family having to rent a caravan of Ryder trucks to haul hundreds of millions of dollars from the Treasury to pay for one of their solid gold, jewel encrusted, no expense too great vacations. Meanwhile, an American family stands by the side of the road hitch-hiking, because they can't afford to buy gas for their vacation.

    1. Suthenboy   12 years ago

      With a caption of Michelle saying " Ah...let 'em eat cake!" ?

    2. mr simple   12 years ago

      I hope you're licensed to dispense cartooning advice in every state. Also, don't you know that terrorists regularly read the internet? You've just aided them in making better political cartoons!

  15. Slammer   12 years ago

    One of the kids is freaked out by all the scary coat hangers in the back.

    1. SugarFree   12 years ago

      They are going to Texas.

    2. Ted S.   12 years ago

      NO WIRE HANGERS!!!!!

  16. SugarFree   12 years ago

    Romney's dog was made of money! I knew it all along! Even when I didn't know it, I knew it!

    1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

      I brand thee Joke Stealer.

      1. SugarFree   12 years ago

        1. People steal my jokes constantly.

        2. I did not know Romney's dog was named Seamus. What a thoroughly shitty name for a dog.

        3. I'll remember this the next time you get into a discussion about intellectual property. Prepare.

        4. You don't get to read the new Warty Hugeman adventure in the Morning Links. If I catch you reading it, I'm going to text STEVE SMITH your butthole's address.

        I feel that I am being tough, but fair.

        1. John   12 years ago

          Depends on the dog. I think Seamus would be an okay name for a Scottish Terrier or an Irish Wolfhound. For a Labrador or Poodle, pretty terrible.

          1. SugarFree   12 years ago

            I'm of the opinion that any name virtually impossible to yell with a mouthful of crackers is a bad name for a dog.

            That's just how I was raised.

            1. John   12 years ago

              I like Scottish Terriers and have always wanted to own one or a Scottish Deerhound. But you can't name every dog Angus. So you have to come up with some other good Scottish names.

            2. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

              i thought you were raised sucking on a bourbon-soaked rag and shooting at your own reflection

              1. SugarFree   12 years ago

                Your point?

              2. John   12 years ago

                IFH,

                Being from Kentucky means SF never has to explain that. Everyone just knows it when he says where he is from.

              3. Floridian   12 years ago

                Now that is funny. Pay attention Bok

        2. Lord Humungus   12 years ago

          I'm going to text STEVE SMITH your butthole's address.

          FoE is listed first in Steve Smith's little black book - which happens to be tattooed on his nutsack.

  17. mr simple   12 years ago

    Those people's faces look like guns. You monster!

    1. Heroic Mulatto   12 years ago

      If by "guns" you mean "fleshy semi-turgid members", then yeah.

  18. John   12 years ago

    Good luck making it five miles with that much cash before some cop seizes it. Only drug dealers and criminals deal in cash.

    1. UnCivilServant   12 years ago

      I was going to add - and government agencies, but that was redundant.

      1. John   12 years ago

        They just take your cash. But they always pay via direct deposit.

  19. Hash Brown   12 years ago

    HnR should just post of photo of a busty young babe every Friday morning.

    1. mr simple   12 years ago

      Like this?

  20. Shocked   12 years ago

    $1000 for hotel rooms.
    $1000 for restaurants
    $400 for Wally World
    $300 for old gas prices

    And a whole another $40 for increase cost of gas.

    Oh my God, cancel the vacation!

    1. Floridian   12 years ago

      Yes, but how much in royalties to play Chariots of Fire while running through the parking lot?

  21. Tejicano   12 years ago

    Couldn't be more lame if they were heading to a paraolympic event.

    With all the permutations of "white hispanic" at his disposal how did he miss the timing of the Zimmerman case outcome?

  22. WTF   12 years ago

    Anonbot is easily impressed.
