Is this a metaphor for the last election?

Rob Weychert

Uh oh, Kevin has unwittingly opened the door for political discourse on his site!

wayne

there went my secret plan. now he'll never get up from his desk. thanks, kevin. in any case, the hearty swiss german "putsch" is always preferable to the namby-pamby french "coup d'etat."

RJ HAMPDEN

There was an election?!

B

Much wittier response then mine, RJ.

Murten

Election?

Renny K

If your gonna be in charge of a country, the least you can do is grow a beard.

Can i suggest a word of the day? :)
It would be funny to have a word you wouldn't understand and just guessing with a picture...

If you're into the gig: take 'sloefen' :) (--> dutch dialect word)

*grin*

bearskinrug

Hah - that's a good idea, Jessie! We actually did something similar for Quadruped, where we made up a word and then made up the definitions! I believe we called it "Wordwise". There's only two, however, so I wouldn't mind doing more!

Jack

Well at first i just wanted to say that this comic is really funny but after reading the posts about election, thumbs and other stuff i did never took into consideration, i realise i'm a just a stupid old man with no life besides surfing the net and no better nick than Jack....this is really sad....really

jessie

Hahaha :D

Wonder what your interpretation of 'sloefen' will be :) hehehe

You can go international with this *wink*

bearskinrug

I assure you Jack - this cartoon is not a political commentary.


IN FACT - I avoid any and all politics. I just don't find it funny, and all it manages to do is get people arguing over arbitrary tidbits.


So I appreciate that you think it's funny!

matt

Chin up Jack, we can't ALL have cool nicks like me. And Jessie. She’s got one too.
