I don’t understand that last panel of that last strip. Is he thinking about himself in the third person?
That Rhymes With Orange strip is pretty corny but I couldn’t help but laugh about it.
“Hannukah Matata”? Ah well. Lovin’ these strips, possibly even better than last week’s!
By the way, how do you guys find these comics exactly, especially in such good quality? Do readers send them in?
have sunday/political comics always been this tame and boring?
You should have featured the POPEYE comic strip in this weekly round-up. Last week, it featured the famous animation character Popeye.
Yeah, Chris, that’s the only thing I don’t get as well. The others were pretty good though. The Clifford one is my favorite.
Arlo might be giving a motivational speech to his cat in hopes of getting it to finish its thesis. Sometimes I wonder where cartoonists get their inspiration.
I don’t get the second one. In which alternate universe does Olympia Snowe support healthcare reform? Maybe the same alternate universe where everyone wears a button on their lapel stating their name or political affiliation.
Ha, Hopey. I gotta remember that one.
Unfortunately, Hopey and Dopey are pretty much interchangeable…
Ha-ha! Political topic + pop culture reference = comedy!
At least in the lazy minds of feeble cartoonists. Syndicated “comics” are dying their well deserved death.
Should’nt the thought bubbles in that last panel be emanating from the cat?
These remind me of the editorial cartoons in The Onion (esp. the Snow White one).
By god, Peter H, you’re right! The strip makes sense now!
Still isn’t funny, though.
wait until all the dust setles and they will get all your money to pay
for this turkey…
And what’s coming!!!!
Scarabim: Why is that unfortunate?
Rob Rogers will be appearing at the Lauri Ann West Memorial Library in O’Hara Township on Thursday, January 21 at 7 pm. He will talk about his new book “No Cartoon Left Behind.”
It’s like The Grinch switched roles with a human.
