Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for June 05, 2020

This could be one of Mike Doonesbury’s summer daydreams.

Don’t you’all get it? In America the only lives that really matter are CEOs… Who do you think owns Congress?

There’s a high pressure pipe coming from the White House that’s dumping millions of gallons of bull waste into the entire country. Problem is, many of Donny Boy’s followers are scarfing this up like Homer eats doughnuts.

I think Ruben misfired on this one.

If you steal enough to be profitable after lawyer’s fees, a fine and no admission of guilt, was it really a crime?

If only the cops had acted like that.

I hear that Mexico has offered to help pay for the new ‘wall’ that’s been put up around the Whitehouse.

Another good cartoon about the real looters of America is this one: https://tucson.com/opinion/local/daily-fitz-cartoon-looters/image_fa206a72-5341-5efc-869a-58550efaea68.html

Too soon, Ruben, way, way feckin’ too soon.

no

It gives the EPA a black eye.

If the above situation seems ludicrous then why isn’t what’s really going on seem normal to so many? If he gets some of the reactions here by preaching to the choir then this should be required reading.

Theoretically, the whole comic makes sense as an “Opposite World” eye-opener, but theory doesn’t get me past a gut-based emotional objection to the presentation in the last panel. I know this is a depiction of Bizzarro land, and makes perfect sense in the context, but it still just feels wrong.

I’m amazed that some would say “too soon”.

If not now, when? In a month, 6 months, a year?

It’s satire, but if you don’t get the satire, this one could deeply offend.

It’s never “too soon.”

The company’s name – an alteration of a classic Rolling standard – reminds me of that Michael Moore bit where he tries to get random people to recognize the faces of corporate bigwigs, which they of course don’t, even though those bigwigs are at least as powerful as world leaders.

A country conquers another country and it makes the history books. Nerrex merges with Agro and… eh.

Has anyone seen that counterfeit $20 bill? Don’t tell me that the store owner passed it as currency to another customer.

hmm not funny
