Draw
Like A Pirate Day
 I began
creating Raging Pencils cartoons back in 2006, committing
to a thrice-weekly schedule beginning
in January
of 2008. That's a lot of comics.
Today, believe it or not, was the first time I ever
drew a cartoon featuring a pirate. That's unusual because
pirates
are
a comic staple,
not unlike psychiatrists, cats, or deserted islands. Consider
this comic cherry busted.
Also odd is that my July 6th "Elephant
Joke" cartoon
had, apparently, all of Stumbleupon in its thrall today.
The comic had normal traffic for its debut but today's
audience easily quadrupled it. I'll never understand
the 'net, but I love it. (Thanks for your patronage,
Stumblers!)
In addition, the "How
To Steal Guns" cartoon arrived to
gentle applause on this web site two days ago, but
after I posted it on dailykos.com it caused quite
the commotion. It seems every gun-owning whackadoodle
on the site
felt
the
need to defend their favorite people-killing devices
against my scurrilous attack. The arguments were so
ludicrous at times it made me
want to
add
more panels,
one of which would warn anyone building a time machine
to not go to Hitler's Germany to steal guns as they
were all registered and, thus, taken away.
Finally, for those who follow my raisin-related
exploits, I've made an executive decision to forego
my side-trips to MallWart for their marginally-cheaper
stock. A man's soul isn't worth a modest discount.

Oh, that Mitt.
 Mitt
Romney spoke before the NAACP yesterday but took the precaution
of flying in a pack
of ringers to sweeten the crowd reaction. He got booed,
anyway. I wonder if he paid his shills by the hour or by
the clap?
Even more precious, it seems Mittens has been lying
for years about when he actually ceased
being Bain Capital's CEO. This is important as lying to the
SEC is a felony offense.
And, last time I checked,
felons aren't presidential material.
Mitt Romney. Class act.

Republican Job Creation Update
 7-13-2012: On
Wednesday, the 11th, the House voted for repeal of
the Affordable Care Act, then stopped to discuss
golf. I
am not kidding. No jobs were created.
