    Obama fell asleep with a red toad on his pillow?

    1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

      Naw, the jaundiced guy in the "Hope" shirt is vandalizing the monument to self Barack the First put up after murderering the republic.

  3. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

    Payne, you're in his house, you're eating the hors d'oeuvres and drinking the booze, and you draw this? For shame...

    1. WTF   11 years ago

      NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ!

      Oh, and *SLAP!*

      1. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

        *slap!*

        1. Slammer   11 years ago

          Divide is Howard Dean, great expression

          *Slap*!

                  *Kiss*-ass Friday?

  4. Will4Freedom   11 years ago

    Writing this comment may take more time than Payne took to draw this.

    Seriously? With all that's going on, THIS is what you come up with?

    *hangs head*

    1. Lady Dalrymple   11 years ago

      I could've used a nice Supreme Court as traitorous idiots drawing. I'm just saying, incase you're out of ideas, Payne.

      1. cavalier973   11 years ago

        SCOTUS members waving the Confederate Flag, then?

        1. Swiss Servator, Holzhacker   11 years ago

      *mumbles*"Paycheck, paycheck, paycheck... there that'll keep 'em."

      /Payne

  5. cavalier973   11 years ago

    The movie that is referenced is quite entertaining. The Pixar short before the movie is...strange.

    1. PM   11 years ago

      Oh, okay, it's a movie reference. I thought Payne was going off into an abstract plane of some kind.

      1. cavalier973   11 years ago

        Inside Out is about personified emotions that live in a little girl's (well, everyone's) brain. The girl's family moves to San Francisco, and the emotions have to deal with the change.

        1. cavalier973   11 years ago

          Now, the way the movie ends, is Tyrion watches the little girl get taken by slavers, so he kills one if Dani's dragons. One of her new dragons, because her old dragons now live with Cersei, who has gone mad and thinks they are all her dead son, Joffrey.

          1. WTF   11 years ago

            You know nothing, cavalier973!

            1. cavalier973   11 years ago

              *Looks around nervously at the rest of the Black Crows*

              1. Almanian - Wood Chipper-ish   11 years ago

                The Black Crows are making a comeback?

                /Hey baby lemme light your candle cause something something sure hard to handle now something

                1. AlmightyJB   11 years ago

                  Horrible song

          2. Will4Freedom   11 years ago

            Awww... MAN! Give a spoiler alert next time.

  6. Pompey   11 years ago

    Why are midgets climbing all over Jimmy Durante?

  7. hamilton   11 years ago

    So Hope is the White guy and Divide is the Red man and the Black guy is something something. Got it. NEEDS MOAR CONFEDERATE FLAGS.

    1. Slammer   11 years ago

      I think Hope is an Asian in a beret? Guy has webbed hands, too.

    2. cavalier973   11 years ago

      Hope looks yellow to me.

      1. Rich   11 years ago

        Hope is a coward.

        1. cavalier973   11 years ago

          Good album title.

        2. Swiss Servator, Holzhacker   11 years ago

          BOB HOPE WAS NOT A COWARD!

          1. Rich   11 years ago

            Indeed.

            1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

              That joke would never make it out of today's Hollywood.

              1. Charles Easterly   11 years ago

                I immediately thought of that bit when I saw Rich's "Indeed" remark (although in truth there are several sellf-identified Republicans who in their relflexive actions remind me of the same bit).

                Good morning all, this is for each of you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO_JnEex-Do

  8. sarcasmic   11 years ago

    I don't get it.

    1. cavalier973   11 years ago

      It looks like Divide and Hope are the President 's only two emotions (most people have 5 distinct emotions). Divide obviously shoved Hope outside of the President 's brain and onto the President 's shoulder, where he sits forlonly and contemplates what it's like to live outside a vacuum.

      1. Slammer   11 years ago

        So Obama's head is Thunderdome?

        1. cavalier973   11 years ago

          Aw , man; now I'm gonna have that song running around in my head all day.

          *Begins humming "We don't need another hero"...*

      2. AlmightyJB   11 years ago

        I only have two. Anger and drunk.

        1. Entropy Drehmaschine Void   11 years ago

          So you are a Democrat, then.

  9. GroundTruth   11 years ago

    A+

  10. gaijin   11 years ago

    Don;t smokers usually have yellowed teeth?

  11. straffinrun   11 years ago

    I see some simian characteristics creeping in your Obama, Payne. Careful.

    1. cavalier973   11 years ago

      Yeah; Obama ain't no Simian. He's 100% American. gee whiz, you Birthers!

      1. Rich   11 years ago

        *** rising intonation ***

        What about his Sino-Simian relations ....

      2. Swiss Servator, Holzhacker   11 years ago

        *narrows gaze*

        1. straffinrun   11 years ago

          *lowers protruding brow*

          1. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

            * wiggles arse

  12. Almanian - Wood Chipper-ish   11 years ago

    Awful. Therefore, perfect.

    Happy fucking Friday, Reasonoids. Hope the SCOTUS on FuckYouThat'sWhyCare has you so depressed you decide to throw yourself in a woodchipper, having missed a payment on your life insurance so your survivors must resort to Craig's List white slavery (RACIST!).

    Also, fried chicken.

    Plant shutdown for the next week - VACATION!!!

    And, just because you've earned it, another

    *SLAP!*

    1. Mr. Paulbotto   11 years ago

      I ate fried chicken for breakfast this morning.

      1. John Galt   11 years ago

        You're a fortunate one.

  13. sloopyinTEXAS   11 years ago

    Why is Hope's head constructed from a Green Bay Packers foam "we're #1" finger? Obama doesn't need to carry that state again.

  14. John Galt   11 years ago

    I thought we were past commercializing the Redman.

  15. ddonna30   11 years ago

    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...
