We’ve focused on comic book and book covers, and today I thought we’d concentrate on the characters. When I was little, I always read Blondie comics, and my favorite characters were Dagwood and his boss, Mr. Dithers. I did a bit of a update during the Chimpy administration years. Here’s Chimpy with his boss, Deadeye Dick Cheney (with an appearance at the end by Laura Pickles Bush and Barney). Of course, Deadeye Dick never dithered…
Original comic strip
There are a lot of funny cartoon characters. Remember Yosemite Sam? Here he is as played by Rod Blagojevich…

And who could forget the iconic image of Barack Obama Charlie Brown trying to kick the football when Chuck Grassley Lucy pulls the ball away? Barack Obama Charlie Brown never learns, no matter how many times that football is yanked away.

There was the very famous Mr. Magoo (played here by Tony Got-My-Life-Back Hayward)…
Original image
…and the lesser known Word Girl (played here with hilarious effect by Princess Sarah Palin, with her sidekick and fellow wordsmith, Chimpy)…
Original DVD cover
Any Bill Cosby fans? Anyone ever watch Fat Albert? The Cosby version is much better than the Rethug version…

And speaking of pigs, I wonder what all the Teabaggers think about Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama. They seem to hate earmarks and pork, but back in February, Shelby put a hold on 70 pending nominations, because he wanted contracts to his contributors approved. Smells like rancid bacon to me…

Th-th-th-that’s all folks!
I’m so glad you’re doing these. I’ve missed too much! Tony Haytard made himself such an easy target. I’m so glad he was sentenced to Siberia. He was deserving of so much worse, but I do get some satisfaction that he has to eat Russian food…which is worse than British food.
gee, and i felt like i was cheating, posting all this old crap. however, it’s been fun looking through it all, because i had forgotten most of them.
That’s very kind to you to make Bouncy Rush thinner. I love the way his belly fat intermingles with Mitch’s chins… Smithsonian worthy. Assuming the GOP doesn’t nuke it first.

That fatroll-McConnell neck nexus is pretty fucking sexy. 😆
i think we should call it the yertle mcconnell dewlap. it deserves a name of its very own.
Dewlap…omg, that’s even hotter. 😛
I wonder if it puffs out like a lizard’s neck when he’s horny. (Is it legal to be horny in KY?)
i don’t think yertle gets horny unless he’s near money (or maybe when he sees lindseypoo undressing in the locker room, there are rumors, y’know). i bet his dewlap triples in size and turns all kinds of color.
p.s. it must be legal to be horny in ky, since that’s where they thought up the jelly.
😆 we need a emoticon that’s breathing hard. i originally typed heaving, but then i realized that can be taken 2 ways–breathing in or spewing out.
i captured the image of rushbo after his gastric bypass. my wish for yertle mcconnell is to go to hell and have to change pillowcases for eternity. with a chin (or lack thereof) like that, it might take him an eternity to change even one. let’s hope nutmeg whitman never hires him as a maid.
That is an excellent Hell. It’s like Dante but funny. 😀
that’s just the first circle. in the second circle, ed gillespie is the ethel to yertle mcconnell’s lucy. they have pillows coming out faster and faster on a conveyor belt, while princess sarah palin shrieks at them to go faster! 😈
Easy, girl. You’re starting to frighten me with Princess Sarah.
you don’t like that little picture of her without her makeup and hair extensions?
She won’t have push-up bras in hell either; so she’ll be sporting 36 longs. Sucks for her. 😈
and no botox!
everyone has to see this! i can’t embed the video, so click here!
Wow, and I mean, wow! Amazing video.
I just realized Princess Sarah is playing Word Girl in the middle of a recycling symbol. Oh, the horror–for her!
she’s recycling chimpy’s stupidity.
Even more cutting–that means her stupidity isn’t original.
there’s very little about her that’s original. she’s put together with pancake makeup, botox, and hair extensions, and her books (and most of her tweets, i’d bet) are written by someone else. she mouths the words she finds on the fax machine each morning. she steals ideas from other people and claims them as her own. she’s a liar, a cheat, and a charlatan.
Most of her tweets are probably written by the former head of her fanclub on Conservatives4Palin. I’m quite serious about that.
speaking of tweets, did you see the top 10 of the year?
Is it too late to un-invent tweeter?
😆 if only!
Fat Bastard is inspired, especially with the David Frum wanted poster.
Porky Shelby probably does smell like rancid bacon, but he looks a bit like Satan.
that poster was made back when david frum dared to bad-mouth rushbo and not apologize for his blasphemy. he got fired from the american enterprise institute shortly afterward, if i am remembering correctly.
i don’t think shelby is like satan. satan is evil, but he’s not stupid. shelby is a moron. seriously, he’s one of the stupidest people in the senate.
again – time to go buy a new keyboard. fat bastard has to take the cake (and eat it…..)
after a very rough week – i know exactly where to go to get me in a good mood
glad i could make you feel better, dcAp. fat bastard is one of my faves, so i was happy to have an excuse to post it again. 🙂
Yertle could fix his problem if he would just go se a chinologist. One of the regular panelist on Fernwood Tonight used to wear a leather strap chin device he got from one.
wouldn’t it be easier if he’d just put a paper bag over his head? it’s not just the chin (or lack thereof) that’s the problem. he fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
Good one! That never would have happened if they had gotten those darn tax cuts.
but boohoo bronzo the clown boehner still would have cried. 😥
All caught up!! It sure was fun doing this late at night and watching the green meanie light up all the comment list, but alas, no more! Must sleep now. (wanted to clear the slate for a couple of good Xmas stories on 24th and 25th)
your dedication knows no bounds, jerry. nobody else would bother to go through all the posts, especially knowing that they’re reruns. i hope you’ll post your xmas stories in the new posts so everyone will read them, not just wken and me.
