  1. Fist of Etiquette   11 years ago

    Silly midget Obama. That candy is for the poor guy's base.

    1. Ted S.   11 years ago

      I thought the candy was all for Michelle.

      1. Cdr Lytton   11 years ago

        Only in the sense that she's confiscating it. And replacing it with fresh apples. Because they're so tasty and good for you. Who ever had a problem with getting fresh apples from trick or treating?

        1. Redmanfms   11 years ago

          Who ever had a problem with getting fresh apples from trick or treating?

          The kids in the '70s who'd egg you car and TP your house.

          And the parents in the '80s-present afraid of razor blades.

          1. Almanian!   11 years ago

            Yeah, this. Also, the fuckers who'd drop a couple pennies in the bag. Those usually ended up wedged in their door to prevent it from opening in the event of fire. Like a bag of dog shit on fire in front of same door.

            1. sasob   11 years ago

              We'd keep the pennies back when I was a kid - you could actually buy something with them in those days.

        2. Knarf Yenrab!   11 years ago

          Speaking as someone with a tree full of apples that have not been treated with pesticides in any way, fresh apples are not fresh even before the squirrels descend en masse to take a single bite out of each one.

  2. Steve G   11 years ago

    Why's that kid in blackface?

    1. Ted S.   11 years ago

      He's an Arizona State alumnus?

      1. Swiss Servator, spare a franc?   11 years ago

        Nice.

  3. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

    If he doesn't get a treat, what's his trick? The family dog gets killed by a drone?

    1. some guy   11 years ago

      No, the dog will be the only survivor.

      1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

        Until the cops arrive to document the explosion.

    2. Rich   11 years ago

      *slap!* and *boo!*

      1. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

        *slap!* and where's my damn candy

        1. Rich   11 years ago

          Here ya go.

          Sorry, I ate most the of the Snickers.

          1. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

            No Hersheys? Thank fuck for that

            1. Redmanfms   11 years ago

              No Hersheys? Thank fuck for that

              Die Commie!!!!!!

            2. Rich   11 years ago

              Wow, you're especially feisty today, ifh.

            3. Swiss Servator, spare a franc?   11 years ago

              *Berlin Airlift style parachutes a case of Hershey's Bars to ifh*

              1. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

                No, you're right, I'm crazy not to love that sour milk taste

                1. Almanian!   11 years ago

                  Just for good measure

                  *slap* and

                  *SLAP* again!

      2. Svenster   11 years ago

        Boo? I always knew you were a racist!

    3. Redmanfms   11 years ago

      Do you find it insulting that I read all your posts in the voice of Rebel Wilson?

      1. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

        Not wild about her, and I sound more like Cate Blanchett's accent, but I do like her name. Her siblings are called Liberty, Ryot and Annachi, BTW

        1. Almanian!   11 years ago

          So, because your voice is like CB's, I'm automatically assuming you stole her look, too.

          But are you "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the "Crystal Skull" Commie Dyke Cate Blancjett, or "Hanna" Western Intelligence Nazi Would Be Child Killer Cate Blanchett?

          Cause I know you ain't "Elizabeth" Cate Blanchett...

          1. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

            Afraid that's my only resemblance. I certainly don't think drinking chlorophyll does you any damn good

  4. some guy   11 years ago

    You know, Payne, it is election season. Instead of just writing "Democrats" on the guy's door you could have put some "vote Democrat" signs in his yard or something. You know.. if you wanted to reduce your label usage.

    1. Ted S.   11 years ago

      I don't think they have yards on Martha's Vineyard, only sand dunes.

      1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

        Can we dredge Martha's Vineyard until the island goes away, since sea level rise isn't doing it for us?

    2. Merrill Hess   11 years ago

      Payne is not a master of subtlety.

  5. Roger the Shrubber   11 years ago

    Ouch. What a Payne.

  6. Rich   11 years ago

    That *can't* be a Democrat -- There's an assault weapon propped up against his wall.

    1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

      I'm not seeing it.

      1. Rich   11 years ago

        On the left, just inside the door. It's *obvious*!

        1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

          I'm only seeing a small vanity.

          1. Rich   11 years ago

            The "vanity" is the weapon. The trigger is just out of the picture.

            1. Almanian!   11 years ago

              Thanks for the Trigger Warning&153;.

              Also, *slap* and

              *SLAP* aagain, to you, too, for good measure.

              And good DAY sir.

              1. Almanian!   11 years ago

                html PWND!

  7. Will4Freedom   11 years ago

    Obama looks taller on TV.

  8. Jerryskids   11 years ago

    Around here, I've seen or heard several stories warning parents to check the sex offender registry before sending the kiddies out trick or treating. The Channel 11 news mentioned that Georgia sex offenders are under a dusk-to-dawn curfew, no outside lights or Halloween decorations allowed, and that some sex offenders have been ordered to an undisclosed location for monitoring. Maybe we got lucky and that's a registered sex offender who's putting Ebola viruses in kids candy or whatever the hell the latest terror threat is.

  9. Lord Humungus   11 years ago

    soooo racist.

  10. Cdr Lytton   11 years ago

    Child's Play 19: Chuckie's President

  11. sasob   11 years ago

    Put some rocks in his bag.

  12. Cdr Lytton   11 years ago

    DeMocRatS- aha! Payne's in league with those rethuglivans and their subliminal rats ads.

  13. Almanian!   11 years ago

    RACIST much, Payne?

    Other than the obvious othering of the colored kid, it makes no sense. horrid, therefore, perfect.

    Rich and ifh - *SLAP*

    Everyone - Happy Hallowfuckinweiner Friday, Reasonoids dressed up like sexy Amanda Marcotte. Fuck you all, and I hope your candy is poisoned and filled with rusty razor blades and needles.

    Also, fried chicken

    1. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

      *slap!*

      1. Almanian!   11 years ago

        ow!

        *slaps Rich and ifh like Larry and Curly on the Three Stooges*

    2. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

      Everyone - Happy Hallowfuckinweiner Friday, Reasonoids dressed up like sexy Amanda Marcotte. Fuck you all, and I hope your candy is poisoned and filled with rusty razor blades and needles.

      Also, fried chicken

      But wouldn't finding candy filled with fried chicken be rather the opposite of finding candy filled with rusty razor blade or needles?

    3. antisocial-ist   11 years ago

      Happy Halloween. *SLAP*

  14. Merrill Hess   11 years ago

    Several people are misunderstanding the cartoon. It's not supposed to be Obama himself, it's a kid dressed as Obama.

    1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

      If that's the case - where's the parental supervision? The democrats will call the cops on a lone kid wandering the streets, "For the childrunz!"

      It has to be Obama himself.

    2. lap83   11 years ago

      I thought it was the ghost of Halloween future

    3. Vincent Milburn   11 years ago

      I think it's young Michael Myers.

  15. Wasteland Wanderer   11 years ago

    AHHH!!! ZOMBIE GARY COLEMAN!

    1. Cdr Lytton   11 years ago

      Out for revenge against Mr Horton.

  16. Bobarian (Mr. Xtreme)   11 years ago

    Where the fuck are the LABELZ!?!

    Am I supposed to just infer that penis face is afraid of black people?

    And is that a target on the little one's chest? Did Palin have something to do with this?

  17. tonidraperipo   11 years ago

    My neighbor's mother-in-law makes $88 hourly on the laptop . She has been out of work for 8 months but last month her check was $21643 just working on the laptop for a few hours.
    Have a peek at this website. ????? http://www.jobsfish.com
