[wndycty]

1. Jack Higgins is a Nazi.

So there!

[Octafish]

7. I met Jack Higgins.

You may be on to something.

[Renew Deal]

2. Is that about us?

Hey Higgens. I am staying and fighting. Fuck you!

[dogman]

3. That sure is an unflattering picture of my wife.

[shrub chipper]

4. Does your wife have striped pajama bottoms like that?

[dogman]

15. No just the beard.

And the flower in her hair.

[ebayfool]

6. I resemble that remark! (Dammit!)

When you comin' home dear!?:hi:

[Silverhair]

5. That's NOT our DU. It is a reference to the 60s.

Notice the couple are aging hippies. During the sixties there was a lot of talk of an underground movement that was supposed to bring about a revolution. And some high profile people like Cathy Wilkerson (Wanted for murder.)dissappeared for many years into it. Some still haven't resurfaced.

The movement lost power quickly, and has continued to lose.

[Cheswick2.0]

8. There is no such thing as bad publicity

remember that.

[Dem_Loyalist]

9. as long as they spell

Our name right, lol. :)

[Edmond Dantes]

13. They would not attack us, unless they viewed us as a serious threat.

So this is VERY GOOD news. We ARE getting under their skin.

Just remember that each of us has individual power that cannot be stripped through this sort of--dare I say--CARICATURE, PARODY, AND SATIRE?

Anonymity is our friend.

[Joe the Revelator]

29. the cartoon is NOT about us...

nt

[leesa]

10. So what?

[spooky3]

11. Isn't that the paper that refused to pay for bldg. maintenance and

tried to embarrass Roger Ebert when he spoke out against the executives taking inordinate amounts of corp. $ for themselves?

[Buns_of_Fire]

12. Well the Jean I knew DID have a long moustache!

Oh, and uh... (whispering) the chihuahua pees on the frosty acorn at dawn. Pass it on...

[MaineDem]

14. I think that's a riot!

All they need is Beetoven's Fifth playing in the background. Da da da daaaa

[demwing]

16. We should remember this, make an inside joke out of it!

Mess with freeperheads.



DUer1: Pssst....Jean has a long moustache.

DUer2: Courage!

Freeper asshat: (Hmm...must be a plan to make Hillary Empress Of New York...better tell Rush...)

[Kittycat]

17. Someone needs to draw a freeper...

Sitting on his front porch couch, with his mini fridge next to him - wearing a wife beater shirt that's all stained up. A big beer in his hand, missing teeth - with his wife behind him, in her white trash sweats and nascar t-shirt. Then as her DH is cursing them libruls, she can ask if the public aid check came yet, so that she can go buy some smokes.

Meanwhile 13 kids are hanging out the windows, half dressed - one holding a gun, all filthy, and garbage all over the front yard!

[Edmond Dantes]

21. ROTFLMAO!!!!

[Minimus]

34. You just described a house that I pass daily and the funny thing is

they put a b/c yard sign out several weeks ago. The sign is still in their "yard" and I get to laugh every time I drive by.

[slackmaster]

18. Pretty damn funny!

:evilgrin:

If you lose the ability to laugh at yourself, you might as well roll over and die.

[GiovanniC]

19. You're So Vain

You probably think this cartoon is about you.

Don't you? Don't you?

[Edgewater_Joe]

20. It's A Conrad Black Paper. Richard Perle's On Their Board.

And they're going bankrupt thanks to a financial scandal on Black's part.

In other words ... what would you expect?

[wndycty]

22. Yes and even though they endorsed Kerry

Jack Higgins and whomever is his boss are very conservative.

[Logansquare]

24. Yeah, didn't Black give his wife a salary of 500k to read newspapers?

There was a hilarious exchange of snarky letters between him and Roger Ebert published in the Sun-Times.

[wndycty]

25. He sure did

:kick:

[wndycty]

23. Here is another Higgins piece that Alan Keyes loves so much

http://renewamerica.us

[okieinpain]

26. how f*ucking cool. shit we're famous. mofo's know we're the

shit.

[DrFunkenstein]

27. Is That A Reference To "Red Dawn"?

It would be much funnier if it were.

[DrWeird]

33. No, it's from The Longest Day.

Code for the French Resistance that the Allies would soon be landing and that now is the time to rise up against the Nazis. Unintentionally ironic, it would seem.

[BiggJawn]

35. That particular message...

meant "Cut communications wires in your sector"

And my old sigline, "Les enfants s'ennuient le Dimanche" meant "It's off for tomorrow. Listen for further information."

[bobbyboucher]

28. Too bad it isn't funny, being that it is a comic.

Would some of the trolls please tell me if that is funny to the average k-drag? It is just plain stupid to me, but I'm biased. Can I get a little help?

[are_we_united_yet]

30. Reference to Doestovsky(sp?) classic Existentialist work

Note from Underground maybe?

[AnIndependentTexan]

31. they say mocking someone is the highest form of flattery

[GiovanniC]

36. The Cartoon Mocks Us As Democrats...

But not "DU" per se. He is referencing the Underground movement from WW2.

[Doomsayer13]

32. Jack Higgins-as relentless as he is relentlessly unfunny

why the sun-times still has him in their employ and how he's won the pulitzer is beyond me. half of his cartoons continues to make fun of John Edwards's two americas theme, so much so that it has ceased being funny and has become downright mundane.
