Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for January 12, 2024

Mickey Mouse would be much better than Donald tDuck.

Kid wanted a Mickey Mouse outfit so his dad sent him to work for Trump.

I did Not Zee that coming.

No wonder the GOP declared war on Disney…they have the temper tantrums of Donald, their best friends swim in a money bin, but mostly because the Republican party are all Goofy.

SPOCK/RIKER 2024!! Time for logic and reason in America, plus an appeal to the Next Generation. “Copyright” like the definition of “person” is WHAT THE VOTERS DECIDE, not rule of law. So stuff it in a black hole Paramount, “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one”.

It might get past the Supreme Court, but can a Mickey wearing gloves get past the Disney legal team? I wouldn’t have thought Tom the Dancing Bug would the the one to put that to the test, but here we are.

You can’t win from losing :(

Lessee, now……Ignoring the part of the Oath of Office about protecting & defending our borders, weaponizng the DOJ & FBI against political adversaries, election interference by removing political opponents from the ballot, using the positions of POTUS and VPOTUS to launder illegal monetary contributions for family members from foreign governments. Yes, I see exactly what you mean, Reuben.

Chilling comic. It makes a great point.

U.S. constitution: the Founding Fathers just didn’t want to plagiarize from those of other countries that made sense, so they made up their own… and Walt Disney, many years down the road, also did a fantasy world !

If Mickey won, he’d go after his political rival Joe Biden by having SEAL Team 6 lay out mouse traps baited with Werther’s Original candies.

As usual:

Please Do Not Feed The Trolls.

M-I-C

See you real soon.

K-E-Y

Why? Because it’s Kristallnacht 2!

america is absolutely and totally #$%&ed. People of colour, LGBTQ+ folks, children: RUN.

Also, up yours, Mickey. Also, capitalism sucks.

Sure they would just let the voters decide… just like they did in 2000.

Well, the guy who couldn’t even get as many votes as Clinton or Biden DID say that those who don’t support him "like vermin,’ so, seems likely that Steamboat Mickey won the popular vote, not just the electrical collage!

We have the Electoral College for a reason. Go find..

The usual defense of the Electoral College is that it forces Presidential candidates to pay attention to all the states instead of the most populous ones. Except it doesn’t work. The candidates just ignore any states that are solidly for one party or the other and dump all their money and attention into a handful of swing states. Personally, I’m tired of seeing elections decided by a few thousand votes in Michigan or Pennsylvania … as well as seeing Republicans get elected even though the majority of voters don’t want them.

Well, as long we’re fishing fictional waters:

PERRY MASON FOR PRESIDENT!

Please make checks payable to CASH.

Thank you for your support!

Have others mentioned that Steamboat Willie era Mickey did not have the white gloves? That’s a key part of the public domain issue: it can only be the early, gloveless Mickey… and here he has the gloves.

Last panel: Technically, if Mickey is President, it is 2025.

We elected a cartoon character president in 1980 and again in 2016.

I would hope that the Supreme Court would not want to be exposed to ridicule for not being intelligent enough to understand plain language . The Republicans on the Court don’t seem to mind being known as dishonest (two are known criminals), but I hope they decide not to be laughed at.

The voters did decide when they passed the 14th amendment.

No definition of insurrection in Constitution. Especially since written after Andrew Johnson pardoned all the Confederates.

Considering there was never an insurrection, we can move on.

Is the Supreme Court going to remove a candidate based on whether or not he kidnapped the queen of the fairies?

The worst SO FAR, Mickey!

Back in the day, (some 30 years ago), I use to understand and appreciate some of the platforms and positions of the Grand Old Party. They seem to offer reasonable alternative points of view based on their ideology. Today, I can’t offer one GOP platform except to get Trump back as President. That’s no longer a political party that serves the country’s best interest. Isn’t time for one that does?

Wait. Progressives like Ruben now care about the constitution?
