Bob the Squirrel by Frank Page for January 20, 2010

She’s going to get her “Instant Taser” to take care of this problem.

WOW - that kid’s got a shorter attention span than a ….

SQUIRREL!?

A general comment about comments and not that especially @ Joe, whoever he might be.

And having said that, I was thinking “Shut up, Joe!’ as he leaves a comment here everyday and without ever saying anything useful or witty but instead about a half penny’s worth of insight. Which I can’t block, ignore or - if everything else fails - smile at. Just the same old lament about how misunderstood his sense of humor must be since he doesn’t have it in him to smile either or even though. Or needs to ‘get it’? Or to point out that he might know something else, which is mostly irrelvant as well? To me it seems this squirrel fetish has gone wrong. I do like Bob and I despise the comments here as much as for any other cartoon on the site. If I don’t find it funny, don’t like the drawings, find the overall scenario rather dull or whatever it might take to sour my grapes or makes anyone feel the “need to express an opinion” - Doesn’t matter - “shut up, Joe!” should suffice in general. So he got that right on, hm? .. Seriously, I was reading the cartoons via Yahoo for years now and never got annoyed like I do now and on a regular bases. When? When I HAVE to read the comments and only because they are there. Or endure the anti-fat and anti-smoking ads bashing me over the head as well. Same kind of ignorable input. It’s not even about Joe, who is at least smart enough to log on and create a Genius account - small good does it do him right now as he can only use it to annoy about anyone else I know, who comes by to read the cartoons. Must be some kind of Ueber commentator identity theft for the ignorant masses. At least I learn to ignore the ads by now. .. Ah, instant satisfaction!

i just skip reading the ones that are explaining or complaining..depends on the ‘toon.

@ Doctor Toon - Well said. Sometimes you can’t help but look.

@ Jay - Please don’t feed the trolls (oops, I think I just threw out some bait myself).

I have fun annoying people over at SOTU - I’m sure I get ignored too. Some folks consider SOTU to be a Sand Box (think kitty litter) but if you want to go off on a tangent - head on over there.

But please Joe, leave the Funny Funnies to folks who just want some laughs. (Joe lost my support today with his “Shut up Bob”).

Seriously, I like Bob. Been saying that for ages even. Apart from that I really have sorted my favorite coartoons lately and cut out 4 of them. Can’t stand ‘them’ comments there anymore. But with Frank I also liked the fact that there were so few comments most of the time. Silly me. And now I add another one. .. I’ve been really refraining from saying anything at all since I normally have this thing going on about walking right into a brick wall. I’m way too touchy for a serious discussion about taste in general. Can’t argue there. Makes no sense. But you know, as the options are gone here just to read your cartoon with your morning coffee and without the comments in another browser session.-anyway, I do that before I go out of the house and I’m not yet wide awake enough - and to be more precise not forgiving enough to bear with someone, who thinks he must say something and I am not even complaining about time zones or anything. And I just wouldn’t want to walk right in to find a hell broke lose about a talking squirrel, you know? But if there is nothing happening but some outspoken person inshowing up every morning to annoy the heck out of me, I must feel free to tell him to shut the bleeep up and mean it. And I do, shut up, Joe. This is not about you. It’s the next rude bleeep, who thinks he can piss on my shoes and get away with it. Yes, I think you have this kind of attitude and seriously, you should be told of on a regular bases and no, I have no idea who you are nor do I care. And please, gocomics, let me close the bleeeping window even though he is a bleeeping Genius user and I come over here just to read a comic. Sigh, there you go. I would only like to point out in a friendly manner doesn’t do it anymore. Nor do I have the options I need. That does annoy the heck out of me when all I’d need to do is just to kindly ask? .. Or do I? I mean, I like to chat away about everyday stuff, which then seems hardly interesting. But that’s just me. I should be donating for Haiti right now or pray for salvation or whatever tickles my fancy as long as I’m able to avoid the next rude Dutchman with bad breath. .. In general I agree mostly with GJ_Jehosaphat and find it fitting enough that my span of attention has been tickled and I came back today to have a look see of what of anything has been going on. For once not let someone tell anyone to shut up. Just like that without a proper reason. Might that person be violently sick in public, I don’t care at all. It IS a bloody cartoon after all. .. Seriously, venting about any kind of annoyance is so relaxing. However, I really adore Bob’s persistence to gnaw Frankie’s brain out. The way I see it, he gets away lightly and doesn’t appreciae it anyway. So, why bother in the firs place… .. Having said that, I would even apologize for not having said something earlier. And having said anything else but ‘something’ personal instead. But so far I haven’t been saying too much. But I guess, I lost by not shutting up in the first place. So, don’t get me going. You know, it’s the little things, which are so interesting. .. tadah!

I agree with Ji2m, I have stopped reading the postings of certain people. But I must say, JAD or Joe is not nearly as long winded as JAY
