I miss Bloom County.

I think Berke Breathed is doing children's books now.

It's Mallard Fillmore, the reactionaries' favorite comic strip.

Mod. Yeah, I know. It just hoovers. A complete insult to the art form that was once the newpaper strip. Rhetoric first, humor an afterthought and artistic style more a delivery system than a medium.

And for those of you wondering if Vinth can like anythjing before he's told to, this Mallard Fillmore cartoon appears on the Boortz website today.

Yes, Vinth, I know, I'm a Jew.

Bloom County was the first humor comic book I ever read as a kid.

I didn't get half the jokes at the time, but still thought it was funny. I always wondered what Opus' voice would sound like.

And I have to say I agree with the theme of the comic posted by Vince/Boortz.

I'm sure you do. But try this test. Imagine yourself as a child reading it. Would you still think it was funny, even if you didn't get it, like Bloom County?

The pleasure and humor (if one can call it that) which comes from 'Mallard Fillmore' is exclusively recognition humor. A person looks at it thinks; "Say, that's exactly what I think. That's showing them."

It's the ultimate nod to recognition humor that Vinth found it on Boortz and I'd wager linked the image directlty from there.

There was an animated Christmas special for Bloom County called "A Wish For Wings That Work". It was great. They eventually turned into a children's storybook.

The part I find amusing, is that the guy with glasses reminds of Vince.

I think it's ironic that the same thing can be said about big corporations.

I only got to see half of it when it aired, and now it's not on DVD. It makes me sad.

I could see why liberals wouldn't find that strip funny. It isn't witty or high brow or anything like that. It just tells the truth.

"It just tells the truth."
Truth and funny are not the same thing. When Homer Simpson said "It's so funny because it's so true", the joke was that sort of shit ISN'T funny.

And in this case, it isn't TRUE either, it's an opinion the author and you confuse (as you do all of your opinions) with Truth. It's recognition humor, it's lower than a pun, and in this particular case it's just another pre digested Boortz nugget falling out of your slack, drooly chow hole.

Now you call me a Jew and maybe everyone will be dazzled by how hysterical that truth is and forget how stupid you are. Probably not, though.

Is the whole purpose of the strip to say that democrats are bad at math, or is it supposed to also imply that they whine about tax cuts?

Or, is it just supposed to say that democrats are stupid?

I think it's supposed to say that the teachers union is a bad thing and the teachers in ikt are bad teachers.

And us Liberals dre whining about getting money from the tax cut, not the tax cut itself. Especially us poor Liberals.

It's a really good comic. Boortz put it on his page.

It's supposed to signify that people are whining about not getting tax rebates and cuts when they don't pay taxes.

I have always wanted to post some fillmore on here, but it was the one that was on the net i found in such short notice. I know it isnt Boondocks or Tom Tommorow, but i perfer things that aren't full of shit.
