The Vanishing Liberal by RevMike · 2003-09-09 04:30 · Score: 4, Funny

Panel 1: Milo and the Major (a retired army major living in the boarding house) are standing in the meadow, dressed in hunting gear. The major is carrying a gun.
Milo: What big game are we stalking today, Major?
Major: Liberals. Check and see what the wildlife guide says about 'em.
Panel 2:
Milo: (reading form the guide) "The Vanishing Liberal: A beast which once thundered across the American Scene in mighty herds. Recently hunted to near extinction."
Major: Gotta be one left around here somewheres... Try the Liberal Call, boy.
Panel 3:
Milo: (shouting) Welfare, Solar Power, No Nukes! ( a nearby bush rustles)
Panel 4: A liberal with bushy hair and mustache, looking much like Reiner on "All in the Family", stands up from behind the bush.
Liberal: No Nukes! No Nukes!
Panel 5: The Major fires his gun at the liberal.
Major: Gotcha!
Liberal: Gun Control! Gun Control!
Panel 6: Liberal can't be seen in tall grass.
Milo: (to the reader) It's a shame.They're more fun than buffalo.
Major: I think I wounded him!
Liberal: Ow! Socialized Medicine! Socialized Medicine!

  Must be an old guide. They seem to be all over the place now. They propagate like rabbits and they're harder to stamp out than cockroaches. Maybe we need to extend the season ...
Well, not as such. by burgburgburg · 2003-09-09 04:32 · Score: 4, Funny

I would say "Opus waddles again!" would be a more accurate statement.
By the way, because a penguin is the symbol of Linux, this means that Darl is going require a $699 license for every Sunday's strip.
