maggie thatcher is hated by many people around the world. british manufacturing, irish, argentina, chile, iraq, etc…she gave murdocks so much power via the press.

Get over it, Opus; you’re a penguin!

Only if Opus is having a nightmare.

Funny!, funny!

Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul made Ronald Reagan the great leader he became. Leaders don’t “lead from behind”; that is the mark of a cowardly despot. Conservatives magnify individual freedom, whereas leftists magnify democracy; leftists are also too dim to understand the difference between the two.

Hey wait, that’s my fantasy! Opus has all the luck.

Isn’t Opus normally naked except for a bow tie anyway?

Here’s some irony for you. When the first episodes of Porky Pig came out, he was not wearing pants/shorts. The Hollywood censors MADE Warner Brothers draw pants for Porky to sport. We’ve now come full circle?

I always find it awkward when that happens to me

Perhaps an urban legend? From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porky_Pig:

“In his commentary as part of the 1970s documentary film, Bugs Bunny: Superstar, Clampett discussed the fact that his early version of Tweety Bird had to be redesigned after his first picture because the producers thought he ‘looked naked.’ Meanwhile, as Clampett noted, nothing was ever made of the fact that ‘all those years, Porky never wore any pants!’ However, Porky was seen with pants in Porky’s Badtime Story and its color remake, Tick Tock Tuckered.”

If you look up despotism, you will not find that it means opposing the legalization of recreational drugs.

ummm…i think you guys are forgetting it’s a comic strip. Penguins can wear pants. Penguins can complain about Margaret Thatcher, too!

i would pay good money to have the cheerleaders walk in on me when i am naked
