HOMAGE TO P. LATTRAUX! I'm a little sluggish this morning, so let's do like showbiz professionals and turn to the sure-fire: Friday Toons at FreeRepublic.
Today's reading of the rightwing id shows signs of malaise -- the Miers episode clearly left a bad taste (in both senses of the term: see the Kristosl Pee-shop file) -- but nothing that can't be dispelled by hate, hate, hate for Hillary! (And, for the nostalgic, John Kerry.)
For close readers, we have a nice lineup of race-related conservatoons that lay out the party line: 1.) Liberals don't respect black people; 2.) Black people (excepting those that look like an ectomorphic Ziggy) don't respect black people; and 3.) the new version of the old slogan is, "Democrats *** dogs to make hippies."
They're all over the Condi Photoshop incident, but approve this caricature, which makes the Secretary of State look like Alfred E. Neuman after a severe beating.
I'm not sure I get this one -- why is Shelley Long celebrating our 2,000th Iraq casualty? And a comment sent me to the Faithmouse site, where I was confronted with this -- evidently aimed at Garrison Keillor (see "alt" text), but for what? Maybe the artist is mad at Keillor for something he did in a dream...
All and all, pretty tame -- but that's what happens when enterprising citizen journalists discover a hot underground craze: the weekends become bridge-and-tunneltime, and one must drop by on Thursdays for the real thing. Paydirt: This is my favorite cartoonist of 2005 -- he makes Gary Panter look like Piranesi! Not even Google knows him. But I do, and now so do you. Spread the word: in this heavily-armed survivalist camp lives a genius. You read it here first!

(Thank you, Dan Lacey [faithmouse.com])
You're (in)famous...
I see that Roy went to the "avoid writing a direct, coherent phrase" school of journalism. Or is that what passes for intellectualism nowadays?
And: Now that you're infamous -- and obviously now also getting more pay, does that mean we'll have at least one weekend edition? ;)
HeHeHeHe.. good work man..although I am not sure how lucky one is when they "can be" in the cross fires of the RATS et. al
Nice to see a Pookie Ping on the weekend!
Sure, commensurate with my fictitious pay increase...
I'm terrible about remembering names, but the cartoon on his FReeppage reminded me of who he is. (In the process, I finally realized that in the process of changing my domains to a different server -- *only* maybe 2-3 months ago -- I forgot to upload the images for my FReeppage. Another thing for my to do list.) ;)
My only comics thus far aren't political:

http://www.chronic-illness.org/comic/relapse.html
As soon as you modify this philosophy, you can be published in Today's Toons...so hop to it!
Well, you have shown my parodies -- like the Breck Girls and Kinko's ad. Others. ;)
Good going Pookie... I love the daily toons.. I cut and paste them and send them off to some liberal friends of mine.. I think humor is a great way to open some peoples minds...
thanks for all you do...
One of the main reasons that I do the thread...
Thanks! (I've been working! Started building Chronic-Illness.org this month! So, you're right! It is getting to be about time for some "coloring.") ;)
LOL
Oh wow, now you no you've hit the big time.
hehehe
I'm not sure I get this one -- why is Shelley Long celebrating our 2,000th Iraq casualty?
I believe that is the walking, breathing Christmas tree extinguisher and truth-to-BS converter, Randy Rhodes. She looks nothing like Shelly Long.
APf
Wow pookie! You have become legendary.
