Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for April 24, 2020

I’d bet you think this is humor, don’t you? Nope – it’s stark reality.

I love Lucky Ducky, but remember, he has no health insurance, and will have to work double shifts to pay his hospital bill.

Best to let sleeping ducks lie, Mr. Hound.

I was starting to chuckle at this a bit, then I realized if it comes down to me or their money, to hell with me

Meanwhile Trumpy the genius doctor recommends we all inject ourselves with disinfectant or be exposed to a super strong UV light to kill the virus. Poison ourselves with bleach or develop skin cancers from UV radiation ……the fool just cannot shut up.

The bathrobe monogram should read DJT or MMcC.

Terrifyingly ACCURATE!

It’s a pandemic. The economy takes a hit no matter what you do. You don’t get to avoid an economic downturn by killing more people.

Too true to be funny.

Shortly after this cartoon was drawn, the governor of Hollingsworth’s state declared bankruptcy!

That duck is SO lucky!

Its really great to work under a vicious lying Republican admin!

Every one in the world could die except for one person and that person would claim the danger was exaggerated.

Did he tell Lucky Ducky he was a hero?

Too real to be funny.

I’ve been waiting all year for Lucky Ducky to return. Thank you!!! (A proud Republican).

Proof positive (like we needed it) that the dishonesty, imbeclity, and insanity of Republican politicians isn’t limited to those at the federal and state levels. From an ope-ed in today’s Kansas City Star: “Mark Hatesohl [note from Godfreydaniel: That’s his actual name, and very appropriate!], a city commisioner in Manhattan, Kansas, said at a meeting on Tuesday, ’I’m almost to the point where it’s like, let’s everybody get the damn thing and get it over with.” Like I said, proof positive! Hatesohl refused to walk any of his idiocy back when contacted by a reporter, even though he was given every chance to do so. This bozo is the former MAYOR of a major university town! He is also a chiropractor, so we already knew that he isn’t smart enough to be a real doctor. In fact, that got me thinking about “Two and a Half Men” which featured a chiropractor. I’d have to say that Hatesohl is as incompetent as Alan and as irresponsible as Charlie!

Lucky Ducky sure showed him!

I was kind of going off the strip of late, but this is a full-on classic.

The point of satire is not to be more absurd than real life, which is impossible. The point is to bring the absurdity into focus, make it comprehensible, so that you can see it clearly, laugh about it, and then maybe—just maybe—do something.

Can you believe it’s been almost seventeen and a half years since Lucky Ducky was inspired by an unbelievably myopic Wall Street Journal editorial?

The sad thing is that he is not making these suggestions because he’s cruel (altho he can be). It’s because he is literally too stupid to know what bleach is, much less than what it can do to a human body.
