Transcript:
Reporter: Sir, is it true that your presidential campaign is now based on one issue- The invasion of Greenland Rat: Yes: It's a territory of the Danes and they won't see it coming. Reporter: But why Greenland? Rat: Because it's eight times the size of Great Britain, but only has 57,000 people, which is not much more than Sarasota, Florida. Reporter:I see, so by that logic, why not just invade Sarasota, Florida? Rat: Well now there's an idea. Reporter: And sadly he's still better than the other two candidates. Rat: Sarasota, your retirement communities are mine!

It might be pretty easy to invade Florida, if you do it during everyone’s nap time.

Sarasota? Is that where they have a Ringling Museum? A clown museum? You don’t have enough troops, Rat!

The Zikas have always wanted to fly north during the summer months, but Mr. Zika is concerned about the accommodations and food situation in Greenland. Mrs. Zika, rest assured, explained that they can always make a quick stop along the way.

Rat could invade Aroostook County, Maine. It’s larger than CT and RI combined…and only 70,000 people.

And after Sarasota how about Grenada?

Or Cherry County, Nebraska. 6000 square miles, and less than 6000 people.

Pastis, stop the punning for a while and try using that big brain of yours to really research the candidates.
OR just keep being like all the other cartoonists and whine that both candidates are “exactly the same”.
Kaputnik over 8 years ago
Next he’ll decide that Greenland is way too cold, and Florida is unpleasantly hot. So he’ll invade Dayton Ohio.

The point is this REALLY is better than the other two. Definitely not funny. “A sinking ship being manned by drunken sailors.”

Pastis, your lack of humor trying to be funny politically is truly embarassing. End this stuff before you lose ALL your readers and wind up asking people if they want fries with what they hand you money for.
