To Clarify...
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!
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.
