Looks like Reason is doing some Schorring up of Friday Funnies.
1. Charles Easterly 10 years ago
  
  That's something to chew chew on.
  1. Fist of Etiquette 10 years ago
    
    Or rail against.
    1. Florida Man 10 years ago
      
      Shut up or I'll run a train on both of you!
      1. Charles Easterly 10 years ago
        
        I never knew you were a tranny.
        
        Florida Man 10 years ago
        
        My mom always told me I could be whatever I wanted when I grew up!
        
        UnCivilServant 10 years ago
        
        So when are you going to do that?
        
        Florida Man 10 years ago
        
        Later, maybe...totes, what evs, YOLO.
        
        /am I doing it right?

Cagle Cartoons? That's a stretch.
1. UnCivilServant 10 years ago
  
  Who are they? Who's Bill Schorr? Where is our regularly scheduled crime against art? Why am I talking like Judge Nepolitano?
2. Rich 10 years ago
  
  Oh, very well. Cagle *Exercises*, then.

Princess Trigger 10 years ago

I kind of liked Smedley Whiplash.
Mainly because I wanted a dog that snickered.

...and the cartoon sucks.
1. db 10 years ago
  
  That's *Snidely...*
  1. Florida Man 10 years ago
    
    It's headley!
    1. Charles Easterly 10 years ago
      
      Meeting is adjourned.
      1. Swiss Servator, Quelle frisch 10 years ago
        
        Not until we get a "harrumph" out of you!
        
        Florida Man 10 years ago
        
        Give Swiss Harumph!
        
        Swiss Servator, Quelle frisch 10 years ago
        
        Swiss harumph is far too expensive....the franc is still too high. Domestic harumph will do just fine.
        
        Fist of Etiquette 10 years ago
        
        Watch your ass.
        
        Swiss Servator, Kaffee bitte! 10 years ago
        
        No, I put my watch on my wrist...and it happens to be a fine Swiss watch at that!
        
        Charles Easterly 10 years ago
        
        Harumph!
2. Fist of Etiquette 10 years ago
  
  No wonder the trains keep derailing. The rails aren't spiked down, the land isn't close to be flat, and there's a tree branch hanging directly in the train's path. Also, it's a hazard to have Nell Fenwick tied to the tracks for what I guess was the infraction of fairytale princess cosplay.
  1. UnCivilServant 10 years ago
    
    This is clearly just a model railroad of 1/2 scale, I mean look at the distance between rails in that track.
  2. Jimbo 10 years ago
    
    Your mom?
    1. Jimbo 10 years ago
      
      Oops! Wrong place...sorry FoE (tell your mom I said hi)
      1. Paul. 10 years ago
        
        Why don't you tell her?
        
        Jimbo 10 years ago
        
        FoE pimps out his mom, so I always schedule booty calls directly with FoE.

1. Scruffy Nerfherder 10 years ago
  
  You're right. I have no idea how to interpret it. Where are my labels?
SIV 10 years ago

At least this one has a libertarian theme.
1. Charles Easterly 10 years ago

Fist of Etiquette 10 years ago

Just so everyone knows, Payne had a perfectly serviceable cartoon at the ready, of which Reason has deprived you. I give you:

Humpty Dumpty reverse cowgirl car sex.
1. Longtorso, Johnny 10 years ago
  
  That will be the name of my second prog rock album.
2. AlmightyJB 10 years ago

1. l0b0t 10 years ago
  
  And why is the protagonist from Diary Of A Wimpy Kid dressed as a fairy-tale princess?
2. BakedPenguin 10 years ago
  
  That was his hat.
Crusty Juggler 10 years ago

1. Swiss Servator, Quelle frisch 10 years ago
  
  You want a jaw? That'll cost extra.

I hope Nell isn't a Columbia co-ed. She might not be able to lug a heavy railroad tie and rail section around till graduation
1. Charles Easterly 10 years ago
  
  Sympathetic peers who desperately want to believe her despite the available evidence will no doubt be around to help her carry that weight.
Lord Humungus 10 years ago

This is one of the least interesting comics ever - but it is waaaay better than any Bok or Payne monstrosity.
1. UnCivilServant 10 years ago
  
  The problem with medicore is that it's harder to riff.
Cdr Lytton 10 years ago

Christ. Enough posts about Mattress Girl. It's past time to move on.

    Damn... I can't find a copy online but there is an episode of Hee Haw where Buck Owens and The Buckaroos cover that song (while wearing Nell and Snidely Whiplash costumes) and it is just dynamite.
All-Seeing Monocle 10 years ago

This made me miss Chip Bok.

Government RailRoADz and the subsequent ReGuLaShuNz are the best. They built this country, cause the great railroad meetup!! Who can forget the picture of the two trains meeting in their history book!!! That one picture and the brief description are all that one needs, to see how great Gov't rail is.

Never mind the cost overruns, the train bridges that were so horridly built they couldn't support a train, and the waste that occurred. Also, please forget the private railroads that outperformed gov't rail without robbing people's property and without being showered with subsidies.

By forgetting reality, we can continue robbing the hell out of people with high speed rail projects, and the public private (special interest ) partnerships that shield the company from consequences and transfer the risk to those extorted through violence (taxpayers).

Start making cash right now... Get more time with your family by doing jobs that only require for you to have a computer and an internet access and you can have that at your home. Start bringing up to $8596 a month. I've started this job and I've never been happier and now I am sharing it with you, so you can try it too. You can check it out here...
