Rag-tag until you can't no more

Don't forget "Flyover" McPlowboy, from the plains, and there's gotta be a "Tex" in there somewhere..maybe "Tex" Secession, and "Teabag" Throckmorton, the gung-ho Republican.

small ragatag group of world war II soldiers

It takes a certain kind of genius to be able to make someone laugh out loud using the words "District Court Judge Neumann".

Brutal is so... 2007?

Funny, I thought "brutal!" was so 1974. Or maybe the potheads on the first floor of Clark Hall (Wes U) were miraculously 34 years ahead of their time...

Thanks as always for the belly laughs!

@Singing_Cowboy, RE: "The Ghost of James Caan"

You saw it here first; it's Ruben's attempt to jump-start an internet meme, and, so far, so good!

Marital Mirth

That strip needs one more panel --> the wife pulls out a giant Smith and Wesson and blows him away.

@ Northern Emma

Nah, just pull the plug.

Two words for you: "Mallard Fillmore"...

Enjoy.

Michelle's arms

No, Madonna's arms - much more potential for hilarity:

"This just in - Madonna's arms still gross."

Yea Ragtag!

LOL Ruben is the BEST at the-setup-IS-the-punchline type satire. Way to jump the rails in the sequel strip, BTW.

May I suggest

- "Mouse," the undersized wallflower who nonetheless shows his true grit when the chips are down

- "Lefty," the fixer, who always somehow has a fifth of brandy or chocolate & nylons for the local mademoiselles or signorinas

- "Sarge,' a hard-nosed bear of a man, who secretly sobs over an old folded photo of an erstwhile sweetheart in his private moments

- "Wilkins," the West Point/ROTC-trained Lieutenant who's in way over his head actually commanding troops in the field

- the coincidentally absent radioman
