Well, sort of. If you can find the original image, and this blog post was the best I could find of it, on the original it looks less like he's strangling the guy and more like he's chucking him at the ground:



So, uh, yeah.
I assumed it was a historically accurate representation of how they got the land that the town is on, is it not?

Its good to see that even with Day By Day gone, Day By Penis will remain.

I'm gonna keep this one for the Laziest in Gaybies. There's some detail, but you know there is no way he started and finished it before the situation resolved. So there must have been a point where he said "gently caress it, I already started" and kept drawing a cartoon he knew lost any point it could make.

See now, if we had a strong leader, the Iranians would have just meekly let us violate their territory whenever we want. They and every other country would be so scared/in awe of our power that they'd just let us walk all over them.

Electricity will be more valuable, but you are making less of it. You will not profit any more than you would otherwise. This is not a stable equilibrium, Invisible Hand. :colbert:

Demand for electricity is pretty inelastic and the utilities have local monopolies, so you just need to raise prices (and bribe the local/state gov't regulators) if you want more profit.

Jason Rezaian was just released from prison as Iran implements its nuclear deal. I expect Good Ol' Chip Bok to publish a cartoon commending Obama for this diplomatic triumph, since he made this astute criticism at the time:

I would assume it's a reference to California electricity crisis in the 2000s where Enron was able to make more money by underproducing electricity. Not sure why he'd make reference to that in 2014, but still, that would be my guess.

I'm pretty sure that part of the reason that so many of the cartoons about the nuke deal focused on "b-but how can you deal with people who say 'death to America?!'" is because right-wing hawks are outraged that anyone anywhere would dare to say something bad about America. The ideal world is either fawning over American or seething in jealousy/hating our freedoms 'cause they're eeeevil but too scared to say it out loud.

So they shot him into space.

We'll send him lovely cartoons,
The worst we can sketch (la-la-la).
He'll have to sit and read them all,

If the comics begin or end (la-la-la)
He'll have to keep his sanity
