From:

In Manhattan, dreading having to move the car at 9am, haven't slept a wink, car radio is ALWAYS set to FMU, this music is transcendent! I feel no sleep deprivation and high on strange discoveries and ideas! Thanks whoever is doing this!

more than enough max
Mon. 11/3/08 9:37am

With leadership from the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, we can't help be headed in the wrong direction. I prefer gridlock

Damn, The Lines sounds more like Daniel Johnston than Daniel Johnston. In the next panel, Barack finds his Dad's metal prosthetic legs wrapped with plastic explosives.,,

my dads got a prostetic leg. we had the roof fixed once and workmen moved a box and a leg fell out from behind it with sock,shoe and trousers on, the workman fainted.
Mon. 11/3/08 10:13am
From:
cosmic
big fear, explosive legs.
Mon. 11/3/08 10:16am
From:
Ken
Two explostive legs can do a LOT of damage, especially if you add nails and screws into the kneecaps.
Mon. 11/3/08 10:21am
From:

"Nails and screws into the kneecaps" would make a good name for an album.

What?.... A bunch of angst ridden, non-threatening teens playing their stereos loud and then the next scene is Kenya? I feel TOTALLY ripped off I want the Colombia years dang it!

ok.. we really need to make our own comic
Mon. 11/3/08 10:31am
From:

I keep thinking this comic is a Chick tract, and at some point Obama and ourselves will end up in hell if we don't repent.
Mon. 11/3/08 10:33am
From:

can the comic be about wolves?
Mon. 11/3/08 10:33am

Mon. 11/3/08 10:34am
From:

Cecile,
The artwork is just a bit worse than Chick, so perhaps we would just have to settle for some minor minions instead of ol Beezelebub himself

Mon. 11/3/08 10:35am
From:

I want to write "Aftermath: The Sitcom" after the National Geo TV special where only wolves, bugs, feral dogs and whales are left after humans all mysteriouly disappear.
I want to put in a claque of marketing people who are trying to figure out a way to market to wolves and feral dogs, and not get run over by bison. Hilarity will result.
Mon. 11/3/08 10:37am
From:

I've seen "Zeke" dunk. He was a hell of a basketball player for being a shrimp (no way was he 5'11")
Too bad he ran your fine NYC franchise into the ground. Sucks to be you.

i held the station manager's gun up at knife point and they let me back away slowly... after i convinced them to let me say "seemingly-disparraging comments" to 1 in 8 fmu dj's. so night people is on on watch right now.

What happened with the comic book? Did a wise mentor convince Obama to use his powers for good, fighting crime and defending the weak against the forces of evil?
Mon. 11/3/08 11:30am
From:
stingy d
my roommate hung out with bill murray on halloween... so jealous
Mon. 11/3/08 11:32am

That's *another* reason for me to hate the GOP - they've taken red clothes away from us.
Mon. 11/3/08 11:33am
From:

How much of that comic is missing, besides the Columbia years? It's choppy, and depicts Obama hideously.
Great, GREAT show.
I can't concentrate at work. I'm worried the machines will steal all our votes.

No, it turned out that this whole thing was a dream the Falcom had after eating some bad chili in an alternate universe.

From:

The chili was bad because the meat was left out too long before cooking, unbeknowst to the Falcon.
Snow cones are good in all alternate universes, as are sleeping puppies and afghans your gramma knit you.

Tex and Ernest are real country, and I think Stingy got it, like something you expect to hear tuning an old AM radio back when there was still music on AM...or firing up the dashboard radio in an old Chevy truck.

You can't promise us there won't be election talk next week. The machines, the MACHINES! I'm very worried we'll need to riot at Sequoia and Diebold a.k.a. Premier headquarters and smash their machines to get real democracy back.
Ugh, I can't stand this dude's "singing" voice. For a song about affection, his voice is very anti-sensual. It's like a geeky squawk.
