Aaron McGruder pulled a Dave Chappelle and walked away from the comic. The cartoon series continues, however.Ragemanchoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06094041980098304448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990915.post-1136481261015093922006-01-05T12:14:00.000-05:002006-01-05T12:14:00.000-05:00Wow ...

Then again, he makes fun of sanctimony on both sides, as well rich conservatives who are pro-life and tough on crime, until their kids get pregnant or busted with coke.<BR/><BR/>I've tried to read Mallard Fillmore in the same light, but it doesn't work. It just isn't funny. So what you are left with is tired cartoon formula attempting to support some not very well informed or reasoned-through social commentary.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07165415261577783903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990915.post-1136403511456787292006-01-04T14:38:00.000-05:002006-01-04T14:38:00.000-05:00Mallard is pretty widely syndicated.

It's brain-dead and, worse, not funny." <BR/><BR/>Which usually spurs conservatives to write in with: "You've got Boondocks and Doonesbury! Don't cancel Mallard!"<BR/><BR/>Which only serves to prove the point: conservative humor that's actually funny is rare indeed. (In fact, can anyone name any conservative cartoonist or writer who's also funny? Please, no one say "Ann Coulter," because you'll be banned from TVB forever.)Jim Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04140325442403671800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990915.post-1136402701131773782006-01-04T14:25:00.000-05:002006-01-04T14:25:00.000-05:00I have "America" but never heard of this Mallard t...I have "America" but never heard of this Mallard thingy...<BR/>Surprising, since I live in the Republican-centric South. <BR/><BR/>I find it funny that Rightwingers like to overlook the fact that Jon makes fun of EVERYONE, not just them. I saw Stewart on "CROSSFIRE" I even watched the feed after they went off air... Jon continued to go after them even though the cameras werent rolling...too bad we couldnt get the audio.<BR/><BR/>hysterical! <BR/><BR/>well, back to breastfeeding and watching the '86 Fiesta Bowl!MsYvonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306493465237717829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990915.post-1136400968957477802006-01-04T13:56:00.000-05:002006-01-04T13:56:00.000-05:00Oh, where to begin....

Even if it coincides nicely with a duck. <BR/><BR/>There's so much more.punkinsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04438713256926490168noreply@blogger.com
