  1. Fist of Etiquette   9 years ago

    The Times was terrible at redacting, but great on predicting the importance of Illinois State Senator Barack Obama.

  2. WTF   9 years ago

    Shit, this is actually not terrible.

    *SLAP!*

    1. Groovus Maximus   9 years ago

      Indeed, here come the Payne!

      *SLAP*

      1. invisible furry hand   9 years ago

        *slap!*

              *SLAP*!*

              *[SLAP]*

              1. plusafdotcom   9 years ago

                "Feel The Payne"???

    2. The Other Libertarian   9 years ago

      You know who else was [ommitted]?

  3. Peace Be Upon [REDACTED], Jr.   9 years ago

    Why is one of those Kit-Kat bars sitting in ketchup?

  4. Groovus Maximus   9 years ago

    NEEDS MOAR [REDACTED]!

    Geez, Payne, just when I thought you couldn't get any more tasteless....

    Well. Done. *GRINS*

  5. thrakkorzog   9 years ago

    Can we get Peter Bagge back? This is some Onion level bad political cartoons.

  6. Knarf Yenrab!   9 years ago

    The gray lady is much more readable this way. Redact every other word of a Krugman blurt and you might find some hidden wisdom.

    1. Mongo   9 years ago

      Gray, indeed.

      What, did Payne run out of colors?

    2. plusafdotcom   9 years ago

      imnsho, redact EVERY word of a Krugman blurt and all that's left is wisdom!

  7. Illocust   9 years ago

    I highly doubt any sane Friday funnies artist actually comes into the comments, but good job is you do.

    1. invisible furry hand   9 years ago

      What sane Friday Funnies artist wouldn't actually come into the comments? There is much to learn here, especially from the psychosexual analyses

  8. Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper   9 years ago

    Been trying to get my comments in BEFORE I head to radiation, but I never do. So, freshly glowing, back from said treatment, I find:

    I don't get it. It's awful, therefore perfect.

    Happy FUCKING Friday Reasonoids! Only TWO MORE radiation treatments for the old Almanian, then.....TBD. Probably time off for good behavior (except for the tumor - it continues to be punished by the radiation and chemo (I take a pill to assist the radiation) for a few weeks after treatment ceases.

    May you all be surprised to find you have an incurable disease and live out your final days, in agony, wondering what might have been.

    Oh, and Have A Great Weekend!!! 🙂

    1. Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper   9 years ago

      My parentheses are all messed up. I blame Bush.

      Also - fried chicken.

    2. Free Society   9 years ago

      Is there no hope of remission for you?

    3. BigT   9 years ago

      Good luck to you! I enjoy your contributions - mostly snark.

  9. Gweskoyen   9 years ago

    Um, Henry Payne does know Bin Laden was killed under Obama's presidency, right?

  10. brady949   9 years ago

    I thought you promised "funnies"

  11. [OMITTED]   9 years ago

    I find this mildly amusing.
