The Super Fun Pack Comix are always brilliant and hilarious! I would very much like to see all of them compiled into a book. I would buy it in a heartbeat! Ruben, are you reading this?
hey, missed the letter window for the prev. strip.
My interpretation was that it was a slam on how youth-obsessed hollywood culture is.
kate hudson a cougar? She's 30!
james caan, an incredible actor, is older so he might as well be dead. But he isn't so he's a ghost. But he's not a ghost either, he's still alive.
and the high school musical kid represents that obsession.
I think Ruben likes the randomness of the ghost character so much we'll see it a lot in the near future.
Hilarious! Yes, It's certainly reassuring to know how moral we are, if it was another country doing the exact same thing, I'd be worried.
Machete, I have to ask. Do you borrow your name from the movie trailer character at the beginning of "Planet Terror?"
The ghost of James Caan showed up in Pooch Cafe recently (I just checked the last 30 days and all I can find is Haley Joel Osment's ghost, but I have a distinct memory of James Caan's showing up).
is absolutely hilarious.
Scooby Dooby Doo where are you?
Excellent!
Epic/Brutal Report makes Super Fun Pak Comix is even more Super Fun Pak. Don't leave out Epic/Brutal Report next time!
A+++++
Please trade Epic-Brutal report for James Caan's ghost. The ghost thing is lame. When people are on here defending and explaining it for you, it's not funny.
In a working constitutional democracy with a commitment to human rights issues of torture are actually a concern both for those outside the power structure and those within.
That the Bush Administration created a strained legal argument, that they did endeavor to protect the health and well being of those tortured, are all hallmarks of the nature of the United States.
In totalitarian state with no regard for human rights, such hand wringing is disregarded. The enemy is thwarted at all costs, and no justification is ever required.
As we have aged and matured we have created for ourselves this century new and fancy rules to call our selves human, all a little too late to save those we gladly ground below our heel in the previous hundred or so years. The world however gives no such luxury of circumspection to those who make law and keep us safe.
Certainly accountability is necessary in a Constitutional Democracy, but a black and white view of the grey that occured serves nothing but petty anamosity.
lol no, my use of the moniker predates that character by many years
James Caan played a ghost in the 1982 picture, Kiss Me Goodbye. Wonder if this has something to do with all the references to James Caan's Ghost.
It's tough to say sometimes what exactly goes on in Mr. Bolling's brain. There are times he does references back to previous cartoons that ran years before. If you're not a fan and have a good memory, you simply look and go huh?
It is very possible that be put James Caan's ghost in this cartoon specifically because he got such a bad reader reaction to it last week, and now simply wants to yank our chain.
