Alley Oop!
Ugg! Neanderthal now extinct! Just like republican party!
-
I support Kucinich
And even I think he's from another dimension.
-
I'm sold.
Ugg in 2008!!
-
aww..
Aww, poor Neanderthals! More slander against them! I thought one reason they died out was because they wouldn't go to war!
-
I'm with Neptuneflame
This is pretty harsh on the poor Neanderthals, who were wiped out by us more warlike Cro-Magnons.
And to compare them to Republicans? Gimme a break.
The perfect Republican candidate would be the Hagfishes, primitive, jawless, eel-like carrion eaters.
Oh, did I mention that they are hideous-looking as well? Think Anne Coulter with nastier teeth.
-
Ugh
Actually, I could make the case that Ugg would be better than any of the Republican candidates of this universe. And certainly better than the existing administration.
-
Not fair to Neanderthals
Have we learned nothing from those Geico ads?
-
"You could land a pterodactyl on those shoulders!"
"Boy, you really could."
"Wow! And the smell, what is that, Peat Bog? Tar pit?"
"Goodnight from all of us at the Evening News..."

Ugg. Hypervigilant. Tom Tomorrow. This Modern World. Ugg. I got the funny gut feelin' you say Ugg- And you right.
Owen- If you've not fallen asleep at the perimeter, toss out a green smoke flare if there is another tomorrow. okay. Yep.
Owen- The base has been overrun by GOP-Zappers with deadly rhetorical mouthy
landmines. O. Betsy.
You a POW in a hooch?
If you no hear, we'll write you off.
If radio man Giuliani calls in a dust-off, there is always another tomorrow, maybe.
If a good Neanderthal joins,
let's party. Fling slingshot rocks to break teevee screens and computer windows, immediately. T.T., Ya's do give the funny Ugg feelin' in the gut. Owen- G.O. Gary- go back into the spider hole. Tomorrow has got your behind covered. The coast is clear. Charley is waiting until Tom Tomorrow moves out and breaks perimeter. VC wants to rob the foxhole of cigs and pork slices, and pound cake from WW2 also. Charlie neocons in The Modern World are tired of dry fish, rice, and fresh bamboo sprout soup. G.G. no Tabasco sauce there. No Nuc Manh Squid sauce either.
T.T. walks a coordinate click a day. He has a five gal. blivet of iodine tab jungle "potable" juice, but he's out of bug repellent spray. no bug juice, mosquito carry Tomorrow away today. T.T. cups his Pall Mall smoke at night. He puffs with the lit end in the cupped palms. Tomorrow don't show off to GOP's our perimeter CO's (company commander, chief-in-command, muy loco man) inner position. Him no send Owen on a suicide patrol up top to Black Virgin Mountain (Nui Bah Dinh). No ammo. No M- 16 gun oil.
The "enemy" and,
those terriers smell 'um Tomorrow tho.
It seems we Americans are in a real batch of dog dung with such neocon dongs hanging around on a mud slippery trail. I got that funny bad feeling in the gut again, G.O.. What's gonna happen don't sound or feel right. It ain't even tomorrow yet. The suns still down. Never give up. The bullet will swirl around your head if you order hard lead to do that. A round don't have G.O. name on it anywho. Notching/Nothing to fear then, right Owen [?], so it don't mean nothin'...It don't mean no deferment. No never mind. No problem. Do something. No shame today or tomorrow. apologies: The damn Gary Owen commenter started my neo-nonsense.
P.S. I always enjoy Tom Tomorrow.
I tease my son who sketches to do political cartoons. But I tell him to avoid the news and remain apolitical as long as he can. I'm overly chatty. The war, that's why. The batch of nincompoops are little masturbating boys. GOPS supporters need to GO on a shoo coo train and masticate some quackery oat cereal.
Right, G.O.?

Parallell Earth
I take it the small cute dog is a lame duck by now. You got the flag backwards, though.
-
Scientific bone to pick
The latest thinking is that Neanderthals were actually more peaceful than homo sapiens, and it was the violent species that was selected for survival on the real Earth.
-
Ugg seems a lot like...
Duncan Hunter. Anybody every see both of them in the same room at the same time?
-
Funny thing is ...
... Ugg is right. Giuliani's a wimp. So are the rest of the leading Republican contenders. So are Republicans in general. It's one of the (many) things that makes their macho rhetoric so pathetic. The GOP has been the party of wimps playing tough guys ever since Ronald "I remember the Big One because I made movies about it" Reagan.
The more I think about it, the more I'd like to see elections settled in the future by pro-wrestling-style cage matches. Can you imagine what a Kerry-Edwards vs. Bush-Cheney tag team match would have looked like? The challengers would have wiped the floor with the current title holders, no question about it. Not only would such a system be more entertaining and, let's face it, more dignified than our current system, I can pretty much guarantee you that the Democrats will win every time.

Being There
Too bad there wasn't room to show the parallel Tweety Matthews, saucer-eyed and panting over this testosterone-oozing Noble Savage.
But the important thing is-- is this a guy the Average Joe would want to sit down and have a wooly mammoth skull full of fermented berry mash with?
-
It's funny that Neanderthals have gotten a reputation for primitive violence . . .
. . . when it's possible that they're not around to defend themselves because they were wiped out by human beings.
A similar dynamic is at work with other terms: animalistic, beastly, inhuman. All of those terms apply most aptly to human beings.
-
Misconception that requires a quick response.
Excuse me, please check the archaeological records. Neanderthals are the first species to practice the ritual of burial. Their world view was abstract in other words and made room for compassion.
Current Republicans?
Not so much!
-
HA! Ugg's Not Wearing a Flag Pin!!!
Tom got it right on this one - blind faith, eschew science, make war not love....but without the lapel pin Ugg doesn't stand a chance!!!!
-
LOL at politically incorrect pre-history
I thought this comic was hilarious enough.
Then I got an even bigger laugh when I read the comments and saw several suggesting it was discriminatory against Neanderthals.
-
i miss Phil Hartman
the unfrozen caveman lawyer would mop the floor with Ugg.

It takes a real caveman to introduce the American Freedom Agenda to Congress
Let me know how the Daily Kos true believer draft petition and AIPAC pandering are going to change anything. In the meantime, I'll be following the actions of a Republican who has the brass to do what the bought and paid for Democrats won't (every American should read it):
American Freedom Agenda Act of 2007 (Introduced in House)
HR 3835 IH
110th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 3835
To restore the Constitution's checks and balances and protections against government
abuses as envisioned by the Founding Fathers.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
October 15, 2007
Mr. PAUL introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committees on Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, and
Select Intelligence (Permanent Select), for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned
A BILL
To restore the Constitution's checks and balances and protections against government abuses as envisioned by the Founding Fathers.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the `American Freedom Agenda Act of 2007'.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) Findings- Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Unchecked power by any branch leads to oppressive transgressions on individual freedoms and ill-considered government policies.
(2) The Founding Fathers enshrined checks and balances in the Constitution to protect against government abuses to derail ill-conceived domestic or foreign endeavors.
(3) Checks and balances make the Nation safer by preventing abuses that would be exploited by Al Qaeda to boost terrorist recruitment, would deter foreign governments from cooperating in defeating international terrorism, and would make the American people reluctant to support aggressive counter-terrorism measures.
(4) Checks and balances have withered since 9/11 and an alarming concentration of power has been accumulated in the presidency based on hyper-inflated fears of international terrorism and a desire permanently to alter the equilibrium of power between the three branches of government.
(5) The unprecedented constitutional powers claimed by the President since 9/11 subtracted national security and have been asserted for non-national security purposes.
(6) Experience demonstrates that global terrorism can be thwarted, deterred, and punished through muscular application of law enforcement measures and prosecutions in Federal civilian courts in lieu of military commissions or military law.
(7) Congressional oversight of the executive branch is necessary to prevent secret government, which undermines self-government and invites lawlessness and maladministration.
(8) The post-9/11 challenges to checks and balances are unique in the Nation's history because the war on global terrorism has no discernable end.
(b) Purpose- The American Freedom Agenda Act of 2007 is intended to restore the Constitution's checks and balances and protections against government abuses as envisioned by the Founding Fathers.
SEC. 3. MILITARY COMMISSIONS; ENEMY COMBATANTS; HABEAS CORPUS.
(a) The Military Commissions Act of 2006 is hereby repealed.
(b) The President is authorized to establish military commissions for the trial of war crimes only in places of active hostilities against the United States where an
immediate trial is necessary to preserve fresh evidence or to prevent local anarchy.
(c) The President is prohibited from detaining any individual indefinitely as an unlawful enemy combatant absent proof by substantial evidence that the individual has directly engaged in active hostilities against the United States, provided that no United States citizen shall be detained as an unlawful enemy combatant.
(d) Any individual detained as an enemy combatant by the United States shall be entitled to petition for a writ of habeas corpus under section 2241 of title 28, United States Code.
SEC. 4. TORTURE OR COERCED CONFESSIONS.
No civilian or military tribunal of the United States shall admit as evidence statements extracted from the defendant by torture or coercion.
SEC. 5. INTELLIGENCE GATHERING.
No Federal agency shall gather foreign intelligence in contravention of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (50 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.). The President's constitutional power to gather foreign intelligence is subordinated to this provision.
SEC. 6. PRESIDENTIAL SIGNING STATEMENTS.
The House of Representatives and Senate collectively shall enjoy standing to file a declaratory judgment action in an appropriate Federal district court to challenge the constitutionality of a presidential signing statement that declares the President's intent to disregard provisions of a bill he has signed into law because he believes they are unconstitutional.
SEC. 7. KIDNAPPING, DETENTIONS, AND TORTURE ABROAD.
No officer or agent of the United States shall kidnap, imprison, or torture any person abroad based solely on the President's belief that the subject of the kidnapping, imprisonment, or torture is a criminal or enemy combatant; provided that kidnapping shall be permitted if undertaken with the intent of bringing the kidnapped person for prosecution or interrogation to gather intelligence before a tribunal that meets international standards of fairness and due process. A knowing violation of this section shall be punished as a felony punishable by a fine or imprisonment of up to 2 years.
SEC. 8. JOURNALIST EXCEPTION TO ESPIONAGE ACT.
Nothing in the Espionage Act of 1917 shall prohibit a journalist from publishing information received from the executive branch or Congress unless the publication would cause direct, immediate, and irreparable harm to the national security of the United States.
SEC. 9. USE OF SECRET EVIDENCE TO MAKE FOREIGN TERRORIST
DESIGNATIONS.
Notwithstanding any other law, secret evidence shall not be used by the President or any other member of the executive branch to designate an individual or organization with a United States presence as a foreign terrorist or foreign terrorist organization for purposes of the criminal law or otherwise imposing criminal or civil sanctions.
....
Not bad for an evil Republican Caveman. I'll be waiting for the Democrats to jump on board, that is, of course, if the lobbies let them (they won't). But whatever, Tom Tomorrow likes believing that the two parties are different and that's his decision. Whatever gets readers I guess.
