  1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

    This cartoon exists.

    1. Restoras   12 years ago

      It is also an abomination

    2. Auric Demonocles   12 years ago

      The alt-text does not.

  2. Snark Plissken   12 years ago

    Beware the Ides of Payne.

    1. plusafdotcom   12 years ago

      and the pains of Payne's ideas...

  3. UnCivilServant   12 years ago

    Just file for an extension like everyone else. I've never heard of anyone getting turned down.

  4. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

    Why does Payne draw heads resembling some accusatory jabbing finger?

    1. Snark Plissken   12 years ago

      Cause it's high-larious!

    2. UnCivilServant   12 years ago

      I always thought they looked like toggle switches.

      1. Swiss Servator, Versicherung!   12 years ago

        Looks like one of those fishes with the eyes on one side...a sole?

    3. Rich   12 years ago

      some accusatory jabbing finger

      Nice band name, albeit a bit long.

      1. Swiss Servator, Alt-text FTW   12 years ago

        Accusatory Jabbing Finger's latest smash hit release "Needz Moar Labelz"

        1. Rich   12 years ago

          😎

          AJF records on the "Needz Moar" label.

  5. db   12 years ago

    Bravo, Payne.

  6. RishJoMo   12 years ago

    Roll that beautiful bean footage. WOw.

  7. SusanM   12 years ago

    Hooray for 2a

    https://medium.com/the-nib/89f2a805635c

    1. UnCivilServant   12 years ago

      I don't get it.

      You can get as much time off as you want - so long as you don't expect to get paid for it. With the military indentured servants, that isn't the case. (Something about throwing them in prison if they run off the plantation).

      What am I not seeing?

      1. WTF   12 years ago

        You're not seeing that Rall is a moron.

      2. Atanarjuat   12 years ago

        Basically, the joke is, having bosses fear mass shootings is even better for getting unearned goodies than having them fear a strike. But when you try to work in smug anti-gun talking points (ie, panel 2) it distracts the reader.

        1. Ted S.   12 years ago

          Unless, of course, the boss is a quicker draw than the employee. And carries openly, since he owns the business.

        2. SusanM   12 years ago

          Well, you're always saying an armed society is a polite one 😉

          Although Rall is indeed a rampaging, often irony-impaired (like when he complains about lost profits from people pirating his books advocating socialist revolution) leftist he at least claims to be 2a friendly.

    2. Scruffy Nerfherder   12 years ago

      Is that what passes for humor in lefty circles?

      1. Rich   12 years ago

        That's not funny!

        /Lefty

    3. General Butt Naked   12 years ago

      I'm just getting a blank page.

      Probably for the better.

  8. WTF   12 years ago

    Los Angeles County sheriff deputies mistakenly kill man fleeing assailant.

    And nothing else happened.

    1. Scruffy Nerfherder   12 years ago

      Procedures - followed

    2. Ted S.   12 years ago

      The deputies made it home to their families safe and sound.

      1. WTF   12 years ago

        Their medal ceremony will be next week.

    3. Swiss Servator, Versicherung!   12 years ago

      Sickening... and I know Soldiers that have killed armed enemies that were actively trying to kill them, and they are still trying to get over it. I hope these cops can end up feeling remorse and sorrow - but I fear their fellow cops will buck them up with encouragement for all the wrong reasons instead.

      1. Restoras   12 years ago

        I'd like to beleive that too but it seems that many cops are actually borderline sociopaths, and therefore unable to feel remorse much less be haunted by their actions.

      2. gimmeasammich   12 years ago

        That is yet another reason why former soldiers don't make good cops.

  9. General Butt Naked   12 years ago

    "...extends the deadline beyond April is."

    April is what? Finish the fucking story man.

  10. neoteny   12 years ago

    Dude has a CRT? That's like below poverty line, isn't it?

    1. UnCivilServant   12 years ago

      He's a hipster who's into retro-tech.

  11. The Late P Brooks   12 years ago

    How am I supposed to know what's happening here? Where are the labels?

  12. Almanian!   12 years ago

    Late to the party because -work- aaaaaaaand....totally not worth it.

    Horris. Wretched. And, therefore, perfect.

    Happy fucking Friday, Reasonoids. Hope you all die in a fire. I mean...have a nice day!

  13. Will4Freedom   12 years ago

    I would have smiled if the 1040 had a blue box on it that said "I testify that I 'TRIED' to complete my taxes on time, but couldn't" [ check blue box for extension ]

    No need for the ladies or bubble talk.

  14. mplspolitics   12 years ago

    Well I found out where Tony's been lately:

    Tony3055:
    "Most of the made up stories criticizing ACA are pure lies and fabrications. Of course no law is perfect and does effect a few people adversely for the greater good. This one is no different. The insurance industry, medical industry with the right wing but cases hate Obama for instituting the new law which they think will hurt a few of them but will help this nation"

    http://www.washingtontimes.com.....e-on-hold/

    1. sasob   12 years ago

      Hmm. Yes, I suppose stories would be lies and fabrications, if they are made up.

  15. sasob   12 years ago

    "He's hoping Obama unilaterally extends the deadline beyond April 15."

    So how come the cartoon doesn't show one of the guy's hands filling up with shit?

    1. sasob   12 years ago

      Actually I guess both hands are - he's holding a copy of form 1040.
