Speaking
of
Worst Nightmares.
 I'm
depressed.
Wanna know why? It's because of this
crappy comic I drew over
two years ago. Seemingly zillions upon zillions of
people have looked at that particular cartoon over
the course of the past
four
months. More eyeballs have beheld that damn thing
than any other Raging Pencils cartoon I have ever created.
I
do not understand this.
This might seem like an odd complaint but I'm
honestly distressed at the distinct possibility that
this might be my cow
tools,
my
"I hate Mondays", my Dagwood sandwich, my Great Pumpkin.
In other words, I don't want to be remembered as the
"Two girls, one cup" guy. I'd rather be remembered
for this
cartoon, or this
one, or possibly even this
one. But it's not up to me, is it?
Rats.

Addendum 12-3-2011: I take some personal
glee in the suspension of Mr. Cain's presidential bid
as it was clear from his resume', which offered little
in the way of governmental experience, that he was
unsuitable for the position. The subsequent revelations
that he was an arrogant, foul-tempered, walking gonad
didn't make him any more appealing to the voting public.
However, he still has all the qualifications to be the perfect Republican Senator,
so good luck with that, Mr. Cain.
One down, six to go.

And now our "Chart of the Day":

Tis’ the Season to be jolly, or if you are
the American Family Association, to construct a list
of aberrant companies out to destroy Christmas. Offering
up their yearly “Naughty of Nice” list,
the religious-right organization is branding companies
according to whether they recognize Christmas enough.
If a company uses the term Christmas “on a regular
basis, we consider that company Christmas-friendly,” AFA
says. If a company “refers to Christmas infrequently,
or in a single advertising medium,” then they’re
listed as “marginal” and are bordering
on delinquency. But if a company uses Christmas “sparingly
in a single or unique product description, but as a
company, does not recognize it,” then that company
is “censoring” (or waging all out war on)
Jesus’s birthday.
I know where I'm not shopping this Xmas.

Republican Job Creation Update
 "We're
going to have a relentless
focus on creating jobs." -
John Boehner, February 10,
2011.
The following is #116 in a
list of Republican
job creation activities
since they gained control of
the House in 2011. None, sad
to
say,
have
yet to result in one, single
new job.
(116) 12-2-2011: The GOP just killed the payroll tax
roll-back, which means they just raised taxes on anyone
who gets a paycheck. This also
means more money out of the pockets of the Average Joe and fewer jobs
as there's less money to go around. I'll bet Speaker Boehner is just
crying his eyes out.
NOTE: As a result of an unexpected wave of enthusiasm
the Republican
Job Creation update now has
its own web site. It will remain
on the RP but
a web site of its own will raise
its visibility on the 'net as
we progress towards the critical
2012 elections. And I thank you
for your support.
