And now for tonight’s Dinklemeyer toon.

This cartoon is a show of the strip’s early days. I hadn’t fully created the world I wanted to yet, so I had to experiment with new ideas. In this one, I introduced Karen, a hot popular girl whom Freddy has a crush on. But he is too afraid to talk to her, and she does not notice him at all.

This showed something I haven’t tried much in my FReeptoons: drawing attractive women is an interesting challenge for an artist (especially a cartoonist). It’s something that I always like to try. Drawing a babe is a challenge because it has to be absolutely perfect: one thing wrong or misdrawn, and the whole drawing looks awful and deformed. It’s a very precise thing to do.

Unfortunately, while it was a good idea on paper, it never really came together right. Karen makes one other appearance later on, and then she vanishes from the strip forever. Despite the promise it showed, I just couldn’t think of anything to do with the idea. This is not the first time that will happen.

What about the "No nakedness during sex" fatwa? That could be hilarious...

Here's the guy the whole world is looking at right now (I didn't draw this BTW) and he talks to mohammed (or allah/satan/prince of darkness) five times a day...

In Egypt, there has been a 'fatwa' announced, that forbids couples to be naked during love making. "Completely naked during the sexual deed makes the marriage invalid"

I remember him saying that he received a "divine vision from Allah" while speaking to a huge crowd of Iranians. That's why I made him the target a few weeks ago: that guy must be smoking something.

Wow, that's absolutely ridiculous. Allah likes to stick his nose in peoples' private lives too much.

I remember reading once about Islam that there's a rule that if you flatulate during prayer, your prayer is invalid and Allah will not listen to you.

Your name is too Elegant. Anything you say might be interesting. I have some thoughts on sex without nakedness but they aren't halal.

Ahmadinejad is only smoking the hookah. I think he is a true believer. He is only insane if what he believes is untrue.

That's the question, isn't it? Whatever it is that's true...all the other beliefs are insane. And everyone has a belief...even atheists believe in nothingness.

If we seek sanity...we must make a decision. Are we on the right path...or not?

I'm not entirely convinced he is receiving any visions. But he must believe it, or he wouldn't be making such insane moves and statements that could bring the American military against him.

I read once also that there's an Islamic teaching that Muhammed once jumped into the sky and cut the moon in half with his sword.

The world is at war with islam and islam's allah (Teddy Kennedy is comedic relief)...

There is plenty of info right here on FR about islam.

The question for you is...do you want to be a player? Or do you want to play it safe?

Allah wants to know.

Well, most of the world to me seems unwilling to fight the Islamic threat, but is content to bow down and watch them take over (France being a perfect example).
