This will be the last installment of the series, so let’s take a look at some of the comics and comic-related pix we haven’t seen before. One of the longest running comics is Dennis the Menace, and we have had a few different Dennises. There was Chimpy, with Deadeye Dick Cheney filling in for Mr. Wilson…

And do you remember when Steny Hoyer bugged Joe Wilson for an apology after his screaming You lie! in the middle of President Obama’s State of the Union speech?

Dennis the Menace was another television show that was lifted from the funnies, and Chimpy guest-starred in that, too…

…as did North Carolina’s whiny little Congresscritter, Patrick McHenry…

Oh, and it was a movie, too! The newest version starred former Chimpy Press Secretary Scott McClellan and nasty old Bob Dole…

The Flintstones was made for television, and Chimpy, Pickles, Captain Underpants John McCain, and Cindy Lou were made for the Stone Age…

…and Carly Fiorina sure knows how to rock a Wilma-do…

There were cartoons on TV that were tailored to appeal to children, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I don’t think Mitch Yertle McConnell is tailored to appeal to anyone but his wealthy contributors…
Original DVD cover
There are other animated series that were not meant for children, such as Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist. I absolutely loved that show, but I didn’t care for the version with loser Queen Nutmeg Whitman’s hubby, Griff Harsh…

One of the most famous animated series intended for mature (or maybe more precisely, older and immature) audiences is South Park. We had 2 episodes here at the Raisin, one starring Joe “Kyle” Wilson, Lindseypoo “Kenny” Graham, Jim “Cartman” DeMint, and Sparky Marky Mark “Stan” Sanford…
…and the other with some other characters from South Carolina who wanted to be governor, U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett, two-term Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, three-term state Rep. Nikki Haley (who eventually won), and two-term Attorney General Henry McMaster…

Well, that wraps up our look back at the comics. I think I’ll let Joe BP Barton have the last word…

HYSTERICAL RAISINS 
Hold me, Nonnie. McConnell’s neck is scaring me. 😯
there, there, little missy. i won’t let the nasty man hurt you.
He’s so Yertelly. Even in the fancy ninja get-up. 😯
print out the picture, put it on the wall, and throw nasty used teabags at it. that’ll make you feel better.
I think my 2 favs are the Flintstones rendition (OMG! McCain is soooo Barney Rubble!) & Pickles & Wilma have melded!
But Joe BP Barton as a pig w that tagline…. you almost have me spewing my water here!
What a fun romp this has been!
fran,
i had no idea where i was going, but i knew i wanted to end with joe porky barton. glad you had fun! 🙂
Loved the cartoon retrospective. These guys are just as toony as ever.
glad you enjoyed it, neon vincent. now i have to think up something for tomorrow! 😐
Ninja Yertle my fave. Got to go back and catch up!!
i think i like that one best, too, jerry. i like the cartoonishness of the image juxtaposed with the realness of the nasty wet used teabags.
Hey, you’re up! Almost didn’t connect tonight. New DSL modem has attitude. New Dell upgrade coming by end of week. With upgraded stuff I can play the videos now. Great to be back. Gotta have my daily raisin!
yeah, i’m up, but just about ready to go to bed. had to get up early today, and i stayed up all night watching the 3rd season of dexter. have an appt tomorrow, so i should get some sleep.
the raisin needs its daily jerry! 😀
You are too kind. And let me be the first to offer hugs and kisses to our Birthday Girl!! (the 17th? if I remember from last year)
i’ll take the hugs and kisses, but you’re one day late (the 16th, not hte 17th). it’s not your fault, though. the raisin is on greenwich time, so when i post at 7 eastern time, it shows up with the next day’s date.
Just trying to give an extra day before you hit 39!
thanks jerry! 😀
Being both weird and funny, Ninja McConnell just cracked me up … but I found myself starring at the Flintstones. Oh how fitting. Thanks!
yertle mcconnell is both weird and funny (not in a good way), so it’s only fitting that the kentucky pukehead rethug turtle should be weird and funny, too. if you like the flintstones, afa, you might like this post (scroll down for the only bush family member i might like).
Nonnie … thanks for the link … very good. I appreciated Rep Brown as the caveman.
no problem, afa. 🙂 i had completely forgotten about that caveman pic.
Hahaha…Thanks for a good laugh, Nonnie. Have a great week!
al! you came back! 😀 you know, this makes you an official raisinette! 😉
