You are selling the wrong kind of drinks for that to effective, kids

SELL to the workers……….

Anybody else picking up on an anti-stimulus bill allegory here?

I appreciate your desire to avoid the snark … but just because you don’t like it here, it doesn’t make you spokesperson for the strip. Have you polled “the rest of us”?

Because it sounds a bit self-aggrandizing IMHO.

I like allegory … maybe it’s there maybe it’s not. But don’t bury your head in the sand and say, “not here! not allowed!” and to speak for “the rest of us” unless you have affadavits from all the readers of this comic.

There innoccence about government will soon be shattered.

lids like Yukoneric says , sell to the workers

i’m with doctortoon, take your political diatribe elsewhere.

Bald – please show me any part of my comments that could be considered a “political diatribe.”

maybeinthenextworld: why do people insist on seeing political humour where there isn’t any intended. people on this strip, in general, don’t comment on politics, just on the strip. you have a right to post here, but those of us who also do so have a right to ask you to refrain from remarks that are irrelevant to the strip and contrary to the enjoyment of others’ comments. i went to SOTU yesterday because i’d heard so much about the comments there, and wish i hadn’t wasted my time. i have never seen such ridiculous attacks on various folks without any regard to the strips themselves (which didn’t strike me as funny in the first place). i would hate to see the comments on the strips i read degenerate to that level. if you feel you must drag politics into this forum, let me join the chorus asking you to take them elsewhere.

Yyyguy. Fair enough.

But how do YOU (apologies if you are the cartoonist) know there wasn’t any intent?

Maybe allegory is too challenging for some of you. That’s fine. Maybe it’s my imagination. That’s fine too.

I’d say you have to look really hard for any allegory here! This strip refers to an anytown, anywhere very real event that happens all too often.

My sister-in-law’s business is suffering for exactly the same reason - street reconstruction. The funny part is that her reaction was just the same as the kids in the strip.

And there is no stimulus package here in Canada!

I think the only reason people see politics in this is because politics is an inescapable fact of life these days….I may be over analyzing as I have in the past, but it just seems to me that previous admins never sparked the fervor this one has in so little time

Funny bunch!

Love the look on the kids faces when he says they’ll be there for a while. On one of our busiest streets in Tallahassee, FL, this happened, so they just did lots of sidewalk sales to keep the business booming.

Cheer up kids!

The kids might make mor e money selling to the workers.

My kids made tons of money selling to the workers at a housing development We bought cokes, seven ups and water and put them in a rolling cooler. Good business.
