NEWS of the TIMES: toddler menace. A report that more Americans were shot last year by toddlers than by isalmic terrorists has shocked an incredulous, frightened nation! Trump: until we figure out what's going on, we need to build a wall around america to keep these kids out! Luckily, playpen gates are cheap, interlocking, and at colorful! Americans are fearful. Man: Its scary! I mean, I live with a toddler! Im gonna have to buy some more guns to protect myself! Legislation has been introduced to limit toddlers' access to firearms, at least while in the "terrible twos" But the NRA has blocked it! Polticican: the only way to stop Bad boys and girls with guns… Is good boys and girls with guns. Increased surveillance of the tots where they congregate has alarmed intelligence sources. Here are toddlers engaged in what could only be described as military training. Trump: Meanwhile, the news that americans are as likely to be killed by terrorist as by furniture has sparked new panic! Trump: until figure out whats going on we need to ban the import of Persian rugs and ottomans!

‘Incredulous’—-of a person or their manner, unwilling or unable to believe something. America an ‘incredulous’ nation??!?!? “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

Excellent. Hits the nail on the head. But Trump will be president none the less. The country is gripped by fear. Pogo is never wrong. Oft quoted, We have met the enemy and they is us!.

Everyone should reread the play “Rhinoceros” so we can begin acclimating ourselves to the new world.

It’s time to stop the political correctness and end the growing threat of toddlers. We need to kill them We need to kill them, the toddlers hell-bent on killing us. You’re in danger. I’m in danger. We’re at war and this is not going to stop. After this week’s brutal terror attack in North Carolina, hopefully everybody gets it. And this childhood cancer metastasizes throughout the country – Mobile, Alabama, St. Cloud, Florida, Trinidad, Colorado, Paterson, New Jersey – and as it goes through the United States, it is headed our way. — with a tip of the hat to Judge Jeanine Pirro

HectorGonzalez- Weinersmith has sense enough to corral his commenters in a forum (the subhead of which reads “Proudly ignored since 1867”) rather than let them sully the page the comic is on.

Probably should think about addressing the 10000+ issues more deadly than the few toddlers who somehow managed to gain access and kill with a real gun. And, we likely do not need GOVERNMENT to get involved in 99.95% of those issues.

Seems I recall something about that when I lived in Florida. They were trying to hang Chad or something, weren’t they ?

To be fair, this strip should have included that Trump conceded of infants that “some of them, I assume, are good people”.

How can you all possibly be serious about believing this propaganda?? I seem to remember terrorist crashing planes into the Trade Center and killing thousands of people, were there not terrorists that detonated pressure cooker bombs in Boston and ravaged hundred, didn’t terrorist attack innocent people in Paris and California just weeks ago Have they threatened death America and beheaded hundreds of innocent people, are not terrorist rapping women by the dozens around Europe. YES I’m afraid of them, every time I go through an airport and have to submit to full body scans etc. I think of how they have permanently altered my lifestyle. Stop thinking like a deluded liberal, not all of us do.

If you want a Personal Blog to torture us with your inane beliefs, please start one up, but leave the Comic Strip comments to 50 words or less!
