Apartment 3-G, 12/11/04

The comics aren’t just entertaining; they also offer models for living. For instance, what social interaction wouldn’t be enlivened by the use of the phrase “More zippers, mule!” Let’s think of a few examples:

TGIFridays waitress: Do you guys want some more jalapeño poppers, or…
You: More zippers, mule!
TGIFridays waitress: Um, OK…

Your boss: Hey, did you finish up those TPS reports?
You: More zippers, mule!
Your boss: Uh, yeah, you’re fired.

Highway patrolman: Did you know how fast your were driving?
You: More zippers, mule!
Highway patrolman: OK, boys, get the taser.

The possibilities are endless!

Beetle Bailey, 12/9/04

For everyone who doubts that the French are a menace to all we hold dear in the good old US of A, I offer this installment of Beetle Bailey. Since they know that they can’t beat our military in a stand-up fight, we can here see that they are undermining our army’s preparedness. Sure, there are no actual French people in the comic, but Camp Swampy’s morale is being ravaged by ennui — an emotion so identified with the French that there isn’t even an English word for it. Quelle horreur!

(And a shout out to Nico “Speedo” Goerg in Gay Paree — we’re keeping an eye on you over there!)
