1. Truly classic
Tom does it again (and again and again).

2. Now I see why Conservative Radio hosts put fingers in ears and go la la la
Randi Rhodes came very close to seeing Janet what's her bucket implode on CSpan the other day. Then Janet stuck her fingers in her ears and sang, "I can't hear you!" Classic.

Ah the truth, such an elegant tool for weeding out the weak minded among us.

:applause:

4. Her bucket is named Parshall.
You can remember it by the little trick I employ:

Janet "partial-to-bullshit"

12. Thanks - wink!
I could have looked it up, but what's her bucket seemed good enough in the circumstances.

16. Hey, it gave me a chuckle!
I actually like how a lot of DUer's aren't even bothering to look up her last name and paying her that extra measure of well-earned contempt.

If the brazen, self-satisfied heifer can't bother to listen, why bother to look up her miserable name?

Parshall's style is to be a smiling, smirking little snip. She has been rude to many good people for many years. It's payback time.

And that "We're polite" stuff Parshall tries to pass is a steaming load of Passive-Aggression.

20. So were those the fingers she was using when
someone told her there was no evidence of WMD's in Iraq?

26. What was Randi saying to make her do that?
I didn't see the show.

I really hate Janet Parshall.

28. Says "IT ALL!"
FReepers: Look at the NUT-BAG on the left. Ok...

NOW: Look at the intellect on the right.

Nuff said. Go Randi!

3. Tom Tomorrow is a billions-of-gazillion-dollar talent.
Hyperbole? No, no it most certainly is not.

5. That's the brilliance of Tom Tomorrow
If anything, "This Modern World" is slightly understated.

Not to mention consistently spot-on. :thumbsup:

10. I love how his artwork uses that "everything is tidy & under control"
style reminiscent of the 50's. And this strip in particular gives more important info than you can get in a full day of watching CNN.

I love everything about him. In fact, I intend to marry him.

Just as soon as it's legal.

14. He's one of my absolute faves!
Love the retro style, love the penguin and the little dog (Sparky?)...
And his work is surprisingly information-rich, as the above is quite exemplary!
Good ol' Tom! The guy's a treasure!
Thanks, Richard! K&N!

17. Is there something wrong with my (Firefox) browser settings?
I see no image in this posting. Not even a "broken image" symbol.

23. Notice how he still keeps talking after his head explodes?
I guess that guy can host his own conservative talk radio show now.

Of course, the one inaccuracy is that Tom drew actual brains exploding out of the guy's head. A conservative idiot with brains? Puh-lease.
