Boondocks Understands CCW

[MrAcheson]

Saw this cartoon today in the paper and shook my head. Democrats do "get it" about guns and carry. But that won't stop them from doing whatever they want in the end despite themselves.

 

[Kharn]

Nice.

[Little Loudmouth]

Yeah, some Republicans carry guns, and they're not afraid to use 'em in defense either!

 

[TallPine]

I gotta ask a stupid question ....

Who is the tied-up guy supposed to be?


And yes, I have been out in the woods a long time.

 

[MrAcheson]

The tied up guy is Ralph Nader. The older guy on the right kidnapped him to prevent him from stealing Kerry's votes and giving Bush the win in November...

i love the boondocks but havent read them in a long time.

 

[Viking6]

It's funny how sometimes someone tries to insult you but you see it as a compliment. In this case, he's disparaging Republicans and people who carry guns but some of us just don't take it that way. God, I love an election year.

 

[Don Gwinn]

It's true--he was trying to insult you, dude. It just doesn't quite work out.

We finally got Mallard Fillmore in the local paper, but we got Boondocks and Bloom County at the same time. Boondocks is often funny. Bloom County used to be, but if the guy wants to write a book that's direct commentary on the Bush administration he should do it and leave the comic in peace--or write a different comic.

I was trying to get www.daybydaycartoon.com included this time, but of course we can't have that. Gotta have room for Cathy, For Better or Worse, and Mary Worth.

 

[TallPine]

Oh, duh! - but isn't Ralph Nader about 110 years old by now ....?

He should go take a ride in a Corvair

 

[Third_Rail]

I love Mallard Fillmore... with "Big Media", that's so great. Also, Day By Day ROCKS.

I'm happy to see other comics that are true now.

 

[BryanP]

Donn I already read enough webcomics and now you've got me on another one.

Appropriately enough for this upcoming weekend here's one of my favorite Mallard Fillmore's -

 

[RED-DOG 40]

Good one BryanP.....

 

[Average Guy]

Gack. Same old tired Leftist memes. I read a couple of Boondocks strips and I was done with 'em.

I hope someday Magruder learns that there's more to life than one's skin color.

Edited to add that I don't think he "gets it" about CCW at all.

 

[Treylis]

I can't find it right now, but Boondocks in the past has run some very anti-NRA/anti-gun strips.

Nice likeness of Feinstein lying by the garbage can.

The thing about Boondocks is that the writer is SO obliviously racist and left wing, he doesn't realize his strip comes off as an absurd parody of the left's core beliefs.

And I agree that his comment about gun-carrying Republicans is more of a compliment than an insult. (Though GWB and the the GOP haven't exactly delighted me lately.)

"The thing about Boondocks is that the writer is SO obliviously racist and left wing, he doesn't realize his strip comes off as an absurd parody of the left's core beliefs. "

Indeed. I remember one Boondocks Sunday Christmas cartoon where Huey's younger brother
was waiting for Santa with a baseball bat. He was going to beat Santa with the bat
and take all the toys. I guess the "artist" just assumed that all black people would
immediately see the humor in such a situation, and that others wouldn'g get it. Or
something.

Probably when this guy draws, he holds his brush sideways.

You know, if there was a similarly themed comic strip featuring whites, the cries of racism would be loud, long, and the violence probably bloody.

Racism in any form is wrong.

This "comic" strip is wrong.

 

[Zundfolge]

So other then Mallard Fillmore, a Canadian comic called Fillibuster and Day by Day are there any comics out there with a more conservative/libertarian bent that are actually funny? (no, the Leftersons is funny about 7% of the time ... otherwise its just dumb).

In particular I'm looking to add something to my daily web comics

 

[Scottmkiv]

This is one of my favorites

Cox and Forkum

here is the most recent cartoon

 

[Average Guy]

Beat me to it, Scott.

I also dig Chuck Asay. Very Right.

 

[Zundfolge]

Chuck Asay is great ... he's actualy the house editorial cartoonist for The Gazette here in Colorado Springs.


The Gazette is one of the best newspapers I've ever read ... very libertarian.

 

[lee n. field]

Day By Day ROCKS.

Chris Muir draws good women.

 

[thumbtack]

I never knew Canadians were so funny.

Anybody that wants to see sum Boondocks music videos goto the video section of www.siaura.com. There's a nice one of that Samurai scene.
