    So, as one of those Federal employees, allow me to point out that I spent my holiday making a special breakfast for my kids (who were off school), taking them on tour of a locally owned chocolate factory, buying an assload of chocolates from the gift shop, stopping off for hot drinks at a locally owned coffee shop, and generally hanging out with my family.

    Basically, strengthening a traditional family unit and supporting locally owned small businesses. I suppose I could have made it a bit more Republican if I had slapped some birth control out of a Hispanic woman's hand, but it was cold outside.

    Is she a barmaid and daddy brought the kids to work? Alternatively, why is there beer tap on the kitchen counter, and why is it positioned so that you can't pour beer into a glass? What in creation is in her left hand?

    Well, he's certainly got a point about commercialism. I couldn't walk five feet yesterday without encountering shop window displays of MLK, er, squirrel, tchotchkes for purchase. And the MLK, er, squirrel, carols, lemme tell ya!

    al quaeda's head and main spokesman, bin laden, was killed so there are no more videos of him to see or hear, and obama did the bare minimum of talking about it for credit taking. a good cartoon.

    Once upon a time, Ingmar and I met some friends for breakfast the weekend before MLK day. One of the specials was sweet potato pancakes, and I swear to God, it had the little blurb "He would've loved these!" under it. It was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen.

    You should try the bible sometime. Ehud stabbing a king so hard the fat swallowed his sword, and then he walks out the front door Agent 47 style saying, "he's in the bathroom, it'll be a while". Or the Gideon "shock and awe" campaign, or the psalms about the joy of dashing the heads of infants against the rocks. David, what is good in life? "To crush your enemies, kill the children, and hear the Lamentations of the women!" .

    Hobbes was rather astute in his observation of classical life, being poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

    Jesus christ me. I didn't remember yesterday was MLK Day and that this was obviously a (dumb) comment on it. My excuse is that I'm unemployed so every day is a holiday (from security and happiness).

    Oh, I did eventually, never fear. It just took me some time is all, because nine year old me discovered that I'm apparently rather squeamish when it comes to happy fun times genocide and merry massmurder. But I persevered and have been reading my way through all kinds of myths and sagas ever since.
    My favourite of 2012 was a collection of Icelandic sagas, especially the Life and Works of Grettir Asmundarson, Asshole Extraordinaire.
    Preparing for an ambush and you simply need to kick your armour up that extra notch? Simply take a bit of string, combine it with a millstone and hey presto! Not even Guybrush Threepwood can match you adventuring skills.
    Want to beat up your host because he's holding out on beer, but has unfortunately already heard of you and is prepared for anything? Just vomit on him and when he begins screaming at you go for the real diversion: Vomit in his mouth, vomit in his eyes, proceed to beat the hell out of him for great success, beer and all the daughters you can carry.

    But to stay on topic: Yeah, fuck day by day

    This is about the fanfare over Michelle Obama bangs -- and if you watched The Daily Show past few days, they've mocked CNN incessantly for their coverage that focused on bangs and Michelle Obama dress designer.

    Oh come on guys, he's talking about "squirrels" and "rodents" not black people! You're all being a pack of naggers to accuse him of such fancy dancing! So uppity about your cartoons about "rodents"! In fact YOU are racist if you think "black people" when someone, innocently, mentions rodents! How does it feel to be racist??

    Actually, re-reading them both, they actually are pokes at MLK day. FUCK YOU MALLARD BY FILLMORE
  37. Otterloop Beardy Magnificence

    Dude, we know there's a squirrel appreciation day, it's the same day as MLK Day. And, every year, he plans out two weeks in advance to mention niether (the same guy that makes holiday cartoons for Christmas, and Veterans Day, and Memorial Day among others) and then, two weeks in advance, plans the next day's comic about some imaginary writer complaining about him not acknowledging the previous day's holiday ;), which was Squirrel Appreciation Day ;), and mentioning how he's sick of the rodent community ;), picking on him for not acknowledging it.

    It's Mallard Fillmore. The comic that claims racism no longer exists, that the duck got his job through Affirmative Action (a topic that he complains about constantly) and once drew Jon Stewart as a hook-nose pedophile among many, many other things. It's hardly a cuckoo-crazy theory.

    Yeah, I know, I realized 9 minutes ago that the two comics remove any plausible deniability for it not being about MLK Jr day. :(

    I mean the MLK day's cartoon was a complaint about Federal employees getting the day off! Hell, Nancy Drew wouldn't even have to ruffle her petticoat for this one.

    Actually, Squirrel appreciation day is the 21st annually, it's not a "specific Monday," and that's actually what tips me off about the 2012 version being explicitly about MLK jr day - Because he used (observed), which indicates a holiday that is based on a day of the month rather than a date of the month, like Squirrel day is, it's clearly a shot at MLK day.
