    Once they realize he is the Red Rascal they will carry him on their shoulders and make him the grand ruler of the land. Or not.

    And a certain helicopter mechanic may have another chance at … being disgusted.

    Well, I guess the idea of him leading Berzerkistan was a non-starter…

    Obviously, this is Jeff’s narrative of his escape.

    An impartial portrayal would probably reveal that instead of “USA! USA!” he was actually yelling “Mommy!”

    Red Rascal meets Afgahanistani Down the mighty Trff to Afghanistan, ‘e swept and there he’ll try to live the life he writes about but soon he should begin to see

    That his skin’s more important than his myth.

    Considering all the practice the Muslims have had at stoning people, Jeff is in more trouble now than when he was being shot at.

    I’m glad we finally got someone with a little imagination working on the Mid-East problem.

    I wasn’t sure what “stan” Berzerkistan represented, but I guess it’s Uzbekistan …

    Libya was coincidental, Chikuku. Most ‘toons have about a 3 week lead time, to give the paper’s lawyers time to figure out if they should sue.

    “stan” at the end of a country’s name means “land of.”

    At lest the sign doesn’t say “Welcome to Aghanistan.”

    Lots of people get stoned in Afaganistan.

    What language do the Berzerkis speak anyways?

    Could be worse. If he was a 12-year-old girl raped by a 42-year-old married man, he’d be sentenced under sharia to a whipping (80 lashes), then when the fun stopped because he’d passed out, he’d be left to a slow death of a week.

    @FriscoLou, they speak B’Zerki, of course.

    @spyderred, in the situation you describe, the girl would no doubt also be stoned to death for tempting the man…

    @ Kerovan: LOVE THAT SONG!!!

    Look on the bright side… Jeff is only being stoned.

    Can you imagine what Zipper will have to face when Jeff’s parents ask him why their son isn’t back yet?

    Interesting. What’s going on now isn’t a Virginian-style fib. He actually successfully executed and survived a mission that his psychotic boss would have turned down.

    On some level this will eventually hurt the psycho’s ego. (Not that it would be hard to do that.)

    I mentioned the other night that Berzerkistan is really Turkmenistan because the chopper was returning to Herat, Afghanistan which is directly below T-stan. Look at a map. Also T-stan was ruled by a real life loony-toon until his sudden death about 5 years ago.
