Haha! Consistently one of the best political satire 'toons out there.

Haha!

I almost feel sorry for the Republicans. What a difference watching the republican and democratic debates. Our debates are filled with people talking about the struggles of the American people while that side talks about more money for the military and who is most like Reagan. It's almost sad they are living in the past so much.

Obama vs McCain would be beautiful. The past vs the future. Hope vs fear. He could also use the same lines against McCain that he does against Hillary. McCain, like Hillary, thinks the nomination is owed to him. He lost to Bush and now it's his turn. That old political establishment thinking isn't going to work anymore. We have entered a new age in politics.

The winds of change are blowing wild and free - what a beautifil time for the Democrats! We should rejoice as "we are the ones we've been waiting for."

Should have cloned Reagan's head on all 3.

this primary just proves how out of touch with main stream America they are.Now....when you throw in the insane pundits......well.............again,more proof.

All the more evidence that the Republican primary is like a cheap B-movie. It's both scarier and more campy than "The Thing with Two Heads" when they sewed Ray Millan's head onto Rosie Grear's neck.

I was thinking more of "The Attack of the Killer Tomato's"...but "The Thing with Two Heads works for me

Looks more like the remake of "The Thing" where the alien exposes itself when it gets shocked . Ooops, I said "alien" !

FYI, Doctor Wilbur Von Philbert appeared in the very first "This Modern World" strip ever made (in 1987).

Helen Thomas rips Bush.
Yesterday at a speech in North Carolina, long-time UPI correspondent
Helen Thomas sharply criticized President Bush and his administration,
calling it “one of the most secretive in history.”
“This man has forgotten the poor and the sick,” Thomas said. “We are hated around the world.”

Normally I get a good laugh from The Modern World but this one was weak (IMO). Bring back Moonbat!

Is this some kind of joke? Because only in the world of jokes would you ACUTALJD put the HESDS of a well respected and governatorial. I believe this is the route this country will actually go.

"Three Republican candidates awaken in a secret laboratory…"

The funny thing is that Reagan was briefed in threes, using cartoons. They would show him a cartoon of a nuclear bomb blowing up Moscow, and a cartoon of a bunch of rice in bags wiht crosses printed on them going to hungry, waving Russians, and a third cartoon with SDI missiles going into Eastern Europe, and Reagan would choose the third one, because it was 'tough.'

So now Republicans are being asked to choose from three cartoons, McCain (who nukes Moscow), Huck Us All (the rightwing name, which is hilarious, but that's the rice), and SDI, which...uh...I guess is Magic Mormon Underwear for All.

The cartoon is dead-on accurate, with one exception: Their Republican physiology would pretty much dictate that they be joined at the testicles (actually, at their single "Uni-testicle"), rather than at the skulls.

Epic.

StCyrlyMe2's picture

Exactly where they belong

Actually, I think Tom's cartoon is closer to reality than the Republicans would like. My guess is that when the Republican nominee is presented most Republicans that fall into one of the nominee's opposing camps will not back him. For example, if McCain becomes the nominee the Social and economic Conservatives will withhold their votes.  The same would go for Huckabee. the social Conservatives would back him but the economic and foreign policy hawks will not.  In any case, this could dilute the Republican candidate's chances of winning the Presidency because the party overall is split three ways and can not find common ground.  This could very well work in the Democrats favor.

"The Homosexual Menace" is still one of the best strips they ever did. This one is not. :)

Biblically speaking, the Beast has seven heads, like the seven days of the week, and the seven planets then known.

You're think of the Knights Who Say A Wop Bop a Doo Wop a Wop Bam Boom.

Last I checked Aleister Crowley only had one head.

Wasn't Reagan diagnosed with Alzheimer's when he left office? Doesn't that mean he was already impaired during his term? and Hillary did not presume to win the nomination, that was the media hype.

These should replace "walks into a bar" jokes.
