super-fun-pak comix wildlife creatures in the foreground oop: you no-good mug! i'll get you! look out! he's got a gun! uhn! oof! watch it! dinkle, the unlovable loser concierge: welcome, monsieur. how long will you be with us? dinkle: until u.s. prosecutors are able to extradite me on statutory rape charges. le d'hotel hillbilly billy, of the hills woman: look! i didn't know there were any hillbillies left! billy: thar ain't! i'm a software engineer! this is my weekend house! celebri-comix james caan's ghost one of its fave hollywood haunts is the stall in the "pig 'n whistle" men's room, where they say its plaintive moans can be heard. ghost: hoo! reminds me of tahiti... james: i'm not dead yet! poorly placed panels man: my mother-in-law gave me some advice... 20 seconds later... a half-hour later... can you spot the difference? these two pictures may look alike, but there's actually one difference. A. B. A. this person is the greatest hope the united states has had for at least half a century. he may be taking too long to effectuate his historic agenda, but he's simply strategically biding his time, waiting to maximize bipartisan support. once he sees his moment, watch out! he'll usher in a new era of prosperity, economic fairness and racial harmony, dude. b. now, this person is evil. i'm not talking about your ordinary, abstract force that will result in more bad that good. i'm talking about the main reason you bolt your door at night, say a prayer to all that is holy and good, and sleep with "peaches" under your pillow and "cream" locked and loaded and propped up against your night table, because he's coming for your daughter!

Actually, today I was sorta expecting to see Hollingsworth Hound trying to buy a sports franchise.

I love the entire strip, as usual. ( The “animal” ones sure look like a little poke at the “Mark Trail” comic.)

Shoot!
I thought picture A was before he won the Nobel Peace prize, and picture B was after he won the Nobel peace prize.

The first guy is staring at an A, the other guy is looking at a B.

I like that when you click on the strip, supposedly enacting the “enlarging tool,” the strip actually gets smaller! Everything about this comic is ironic! Bolling is a genius in ways we can’t even imagine!

Best Super Fun Pak Comix ever.
Love the Mark Trail spoof, the Poorly Placed Panels concept, and the Obama “Can You Spot The Difference”. The latter is one of the best indictments of the extreme partisan nature of current U.S. politics …well done.
