Chance of a Fix?

Incomprehensible. Meaningless. And not in an interesting way.

I see the hammer & sickle, & a bit of imagination (or a grasp of the obvious) allows me to figure out who the three on the left are supposed to be, but the other guy, w/ the hat ... Is that Jerry Garcia w/ his U. S. Blues hat on? Is what's written on the hat good? Bad?

I must know!

Jeez, didn't know I posted that. Oh well.

Joe Stalin is the bearded hippie.

Substance McGravitas said...

I'll bet the rubes are kicking themselves for voting for Joe!

M. Bouffant said...

Haunted posting?

I knew it was Uncle Joe, but I guess the "point" of "Commie ... something" is so cliched that I waste time seeking something beyond the obvious.

M. Bouffant said...

Blame the cat for phantom posting.

He's smart enough to run run run like crazy away from his poop, so sure, the quality of this one matches his talent.

mikey said...

Damn, that's terrifying.

It's got me so frightened I want to do EXACTLY what it wants me to do.

Now if only I could figure THAT part out...

I too the beardie to be Uncle Karl. Either way, the hammer-&-sickle elsewhere in the cartoon does imply that the cartoonist did not trust the audience to recognise the bearded figure and grasp the desired OMG A COMMUNIST message. So full marx for insight into his limitations.

Harry Reid is going to save America from communism by ripping into Uncle Joe's back with the sickle.

Is Pelosi a doctor in Real Life? She's wearing a stethoscope in the lame arse cartoon. Or is this more really subtil conservative yuck yucks

J— said...

Well, at least it's a break from those Pigman pictures.

I think Pelosi has been in politics pretty much since she finished college, so no, she is not an MD.

Health care and health care only can turn you communist. See every country that's a nice place to live for proof.

...I used to be sick - now I'm healthy but I've got this damn tractor in my back yard

Substance McGravitas said...

Shhh! And hide that radio!

herr doktor bimler said...

Ha ha! I have two cows in the back yard, and one of them is yours!

but I've got this damn tractor

Hey, aren't we supposed to be dropping those on Chuck Kraphammer?

herr doktor bimler said...

ripping into Uncle Joe's back with the sickle.
Unfortunately he has reduced the sickle's utility by super-gluing a hammer to it.

Substance McGravitas said...

Well, he'll just have to stab him 50 or 60 of times instead of the two dozen I had feverishly imagined.

M. Bouffant said...

Does your cat have the "One or two ineffectual swipes in the general direction of the litter pan before he runs away" gene?

A. Kiwi may be right, it could be Karl Marx, period, or Stalin w/ an Uncle Sam beard to go w/ the hat.

Substance McGravitas said...

My cat digs with abandon. A natural communist.

tigris said...

It's either Marx or Santa. It's pretty awful, either way.

Why does Nancy have Meerkat eyes?

I mean, that kind of gives me wood.

Do they secretly find Nancy to be hot? And so even as they gibber about her socialism, they melt before her dreamy eyes?

I jumped in a car with DiFi once when she was Madame Mayor. Nobody got overly excited, and I can assure you she wasn't hot...
