Yowza!
Wow. Now there's a punchline that's gonna get the letter's section going!

Just Breathe Jennifer
I hope that Mr. Breathed is just joking and that the barest breath I detect showing that he favors Mr. Obama is simply to rile us all and keep readers guessing. If not, I will join Opus at McDonald's and eat burgers, one after another, until I die. Please GOD tell me that this man--one of my heroes of truth and free thinking--has escaped the plague afflicting this country, because if not hope is dead. Dead as Zed. Mr. Obama is to hope, change, and unity what McDonald's is to health--a death sentence, and if Mr. Breathed is blind to this I am voting for Bill the Cat because obviously the human race has lost. Period.

Oh, this is spot-on!
I love this! Hillary Clinton lost my vote awhile ago due in part to her continued and increasing "thuggish" campaigning and threats.
For the LW who thinks Breathed is "for Obama"--read the strip again. And then again. Enjoy your burgers.

I'm Very Sad
I thought Opus was one place I could get relief from this hypocrisy, the sheer sexist bigotry and the callowness of how Senator Clinton has been ravaged and thrown to the wolves. At least up until now Opus had the sanity to see all sides and look a little deeper and say what vox populi hasn't got the guts to or the foresight to say. But obviously that's no longer the case. Even here, even here.
Breathed, I have been an ardent fan from the beginning, years and years ago and have loved Opus dearly (I still even have a stuffed Opus and many of your books) and have supported every strip up until now but now I hate to say it, this throws it way over the top for me.
Goodbye, Opus. Goodbye, Breathed. I will deeply miss you.

Hillary has been in my Anxiety Closet for years now...
...ever since she ran for senator of New York. Quite frankly, she gives me the leaping fantods.
DO NOT give this woman access to our nuclear arsenal.

shockingly funny
Never did I expect that punch.
Damnthe, seems a shame to divorce after a single spat.
Now who will disarm first: Clinton or Mugabe?

Compassion Forum
I wonder how the Compassion Forum at Messiah College near Harrisburg on April 13 will come out. At the moment, their website announces that Sen Obama has accepted. Since then Sen Clinton has also accepted. Sen McCain has not yet but probably will.
Click on my name to see what they are doing.
As for the cartoon, I wonder if it is intended to be political (hehe). It is not going to please those who like the Clintons. To me, the real contest there is who has the best organized campaign team. However, the Clintons can blame themselves for things like this.
This is no worse than the general media concentration on Rev Jeremiah Wright.
My prediction is that the Democratic nominees will be Sen Obama and Michael Bloomberg. Both decry the excessive partisanship.
We need a better way to choose our politicians. A Constitutional Commission is in order to look at this.

Great cartoon
Read Dick Morris: Hilary is not qualified and is rotten.
OBAMA!
Make history!
-
That sounds about right...
Clinton is literally handing McCain the White House while staying in the race.
-
Dick Morris is not exactly my idea of a reliable source
Check out Wikipedia for details about Morris, his toe-sucking fetish, and the fact that he owes more than a quarter of a million dollars in unpaid taxes.

The issue isn't Clinton; it's Breathed.
If this had actually said anything vital about Clinton, it might have aroused some genuine ire and interest. She was used as a cheap punchline in a tepid strip.
Moreover, I suspect she wore a helmet throughout the thing because Breathed didn't have the courage, or the talent, to draw a recognizable caricature of Hillary Clinton. (Ted Rall has never drawn a recognizable caricature of Bush in seven years, but at least he tries, even though his red-uniformed unshaven thing that looks NOTHING like Bush has been a regular feature of his strip. At least he has guts enough to try.)

Saw it coming
a mile away but still enjoyed it. In my view, Clinton is hardly being ravaged. Anyone else would have been pushed out long ago; actually, most anyone else would have left willingly long ago, but that's another story. Another happy, happy story, even if it is just a fairy tale. I think it's only because she's a Clinton, i.e., a former First Lady and the first seriously competitive female candidate for president, that she's still in it. If she were doing a Huckabee and campaigning honorably, that would be one thing, but she's slinging lies, mud, and any kind of spin she can think of on any given day, and it's just sad to watch. I used to feel I'd be nearly as happy if she won as I would if Obama won, but those days are long gone. It's sad to see the first serious female candidate act dishonorably. Obama is making a much better job of his historic first--and of his campaign, period, regardless of firsts.

I am worried about Gary Owen!
Has he died? Did I miss something in the news, or in the threads? Salon: You should publish obituaries for you prominent posters.

Someone please explain to me . . .
. . . why it is that people tune in week after week to this cartoon in order to say that they hate it? You're disappointed. Cool. You don't like it. But it's tacky to do so repeatedly, week after week. If you don't like the strip, no one is forcing you to read it. Certainly I have come to loathe WayLay. I thought it would have died a boring and pretentious death years ago. And yet it keeps on being posted here, week after week, year after year. There is only so much negative campaigning a sane person can do against a comic strip. (I know that on a personal level. I mean, for all my bitching I've done about Cathy and she STILL EXISTS. That bitch will never die. After the holocaust it's gonna be her, the roaches and Ted Nugent.)

Re: Proud (to be dumb?) Texas girl
To call Obama "a plague afflicting this country..." that's exactly the kind of thinking that's helping Hillary scuttle Obama's campaign, in the belief that she'd be better positioned for 2012 if McCain got elected instead.
And the line, "Obama is to hope, change, and unity what McDonald's is to health" really get me wondering if you're not Ann Coulter in disguise!
