Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for December 20, 2024

All magats would prefer to live in Pottersville rather than Bedford Falls.

I don’t know about you but I would/will not like living in the MAGAT WORLD!!!!! It is a very depressing thought!!!

. . . and then the assassin of CEOs showed up.

Nitpick, but if he’d never lived, that mansion would’ve been the home of people like him, but it couldn’t have been his home. Never mind, the line works, and I love the cartoon. Merry Christmas!

All this because just being comfortably wealthy just isn’t enough. Dollars aren’t Pokemon! You don’t need to catch em all

The very unhappy and desperate people depicted are the very ones who, as the republicans now brag about, elected the very oligarchs who have been exploiting them/us and will continue to do so now, with the very force of government under their control. Gaslighting at its lowest. The oppressors have convinced the oppressed that being oppressed is what they want.

It IS a wonderful life, and I’m laughing all the way to the detention center…!

All of Bedford Falls will be sad when Trump deports Giuseppe Martini and no one can get a much needed drink!

(Also – shouldn’t Clarence have horns and a pitchfork?)

Years ago, I stumbled upon Current TV on satellite. They had an animated series called ‘Supernews!’. Google Supernews! It’s a Horrible Life, some of it where Dick Cheney works as a Walmart greeter at Christmas time were very funny IMHO.

I am so glad I don’t have to live in Muskville in the Disunited States of Tumpmerica!

Any bets on a Christmas present from Donny & Elon of a full-blown government shutdown? LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

And now the country’s to be run by an unelected billionaire with the emotional maturity of a 15 year old incel who seriously believes his daughter was born biologically but not CIS male because of something he calls the ‘woke mind virus.’

So, will people agree that socialism is better than capitalism NOW, or…

Ah, who am I kidding? america is what it is. Capitalism sucks.

I don’t mean to nitpick, but Potter couldn’t walk in the original “It’s a Wonderful Life”. That being said, this is a pretty sophisticated critique.

Aside from the lack of wheelchair, the expression in the last panel actually does capture Potter from the movie.

Sad if Bolling thinks this is the way things are.

I knew the trumpers wouldn’t get the toon.

“Save George Bailey!”.

It’s a Wonderful cartoon!

Brilliant cartoon, one of the best I’ve ever seen. Kleptocracyville!

It’s a wonderful life for the deserving few. /s

I would like to say how far-fetched this comic is…but can’t.

Here’s hopin’ we can keep copin’

I’m guessing the ‘angel’ (*cough*demon*cough*) is Clarence Evenbody.
