Two Party Opera by Brian Carroll for February 22, 2018

For more on the philosophical differences between Adams and Jefferson that is easy to follow and fewer than 300 pages, I always recommend PASSIONATE SAGE by Joseph Ellis. As usual, his Jefferson book got more notoriety than his Adams book (SAGE), but isn’t that the way it’s always been between those two? (With the exception of the delightful 1776)

It only works because the lazy (insert derogatory name here) in this country either can’s or won’t think for themselves.

“Sit down, John, Sit down, John…for God’s sake, John, SIT DOWN!”

For a more in-depth analysis of the difference between Adams and Jefferson on American government, read Gordon Woods most recent book, friends divided. As someone who reads a lot of presidential history, I really enjoy your Comics, Brian.

Adams and Jefferson were good friends!!

Adams:Mr. Livingston, maybe you should write it

You have many friends and you’re a diplomat

Franklin:

Oh, that word!

Adams:Whereas if I’m the one to do it

They’ll run their quill pens through it

Others:He’s obnoxious and disliked; did you know that?

Livingston:I hadn’t heard

Are the Russian Trolls and Bot having sex and need some lube (KY), or do they want to go to Kentucky (KY)?

I try to watch 1776 once every year or two. Last time I saw it on Broadway, Brent Spiner played Adams. Long show, but delightful!

Brian i just read the strip from June the 7th very inserting sounds like the were friends until the ran. Then died with in minutes of each other.

Lovin’ those lyrics!How about the adverb lesson with -ly (Lee) from Virginia?
