Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 21, 2012

Feh, they’re still here too, just not in empire format :D

The Mayan Empire got raptured.

Can this be the BD we all know and love? Now a lib? A lefty? Concerned about other peoples in the world? And not just U.S.AAY! U.S.AAY! U.S.AAY! all the time as we trample their freedoms and liberties into the ground, not to mention their sovereignty?

(I mean, not that we’re not patriotic, just that we recognize what true patriotism means in the world. I mean, how would we like it if an Iraq that was 20 times our size, had 30 times our weaponry that was 40 times more advanced than ours, came over here and “shocked ‘n’ awed” us into submission?)

Now live from Chichen Itza, our reporter, Louisa Looselips- Litebrain, with her riveting account of the Mayan Zombie Apocalypse… Take it away, Louisa …..

No, BD is still being a bit of a jerk. There are still millions of Mayans.

Well, it’s not over yet.

to those people who believed that the end was near, you all are a bunch of suckers. history channel should cancel those shows. plus, nat geo, cancel doomsday preppers(created more harm than good).

It’s not the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine).

Of course the Mayans are still here! Just like the Italians are still here even though the Roman Empire is no more.

It was the end of the world as we knew it, As our culture skids to rock bottom.What will the next entertainment venue be for the watercooler crowd?

The date to watch out for now is April 13, 2029, and April 13, 2036. Ask Astronomy magazine :D

My dog dissapeared. Its the rapture!

There’s no denying the prophecy. Winter is here.

@ Ransom; Not to mention crappy “Pawn Stars” knock-offs, “American Pickers” copies, “Gold Rush” junk, ‘dangerous’ rednecks, cussing forest-laborers and yee-haw rednecks boiling upWhite Lightnin ‘Somewhere Down South’ ..This decade, we get to watch crappy TV in glorious flat-screen Hi-Def..I can hardly wait to see what desperate Hollywood will dump on us next.

I think Zonker wasn’t paying attention to it, either.

Best response ever – now what does it say?

Well, we waited breathlessly for a week for the NRA to break its silence on mass murder, and what did we get? “Put armed guards in every school.” Wow, what did I expect from the shill for the gun industry? How come he missed malls, theaters, restaurants, churches and every other venue where mass killings have happened? Or is that “Plan B”?

Here are some real threats:

The SUPER-VOLCANO underlying Yellowstone could wipe most of us Americans out.

A MEGA-ASTEROID could begin the extinction of humans — as it did dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

An incominng 6-mile-wide KILLER-COMET of ice and dust could crash and steam us into eternity like lobsters.

I’m with Christopher Hitchens when it comes to religion. Religion is superstitious nonsense. If you want to believe, then that’s your business. But pardon me if I’m laughing at you.

“The Mayans need to easy up on smoking peyote. We’re all still here … hehehe.”

(A) The Mayans probably didn’t have peyote. They were well south of its natural range. There’s evidence they used entheogenic mushrooms, though.(B) Peyote isn’t smoked, it’s eaten. You could TRY smoking it, and maybe it would have some sort of effect, but it’s most likely a waste, like smoking LSD.

It is the end of the world as we know it! Newt Gingrich just came out supporting Gay Marriage!

Ok, it didn’t happen. And I got such a deal on leftover C-rations. Anybody want som ham and mother f———s?

The end of the world ( as he knew it ) came for John, The Tan, Boehner. He couldn’t even bring his GOP caucus in line, to vote on a meaningless proposal, in the House last night. As the Speaker of the House, it was an extreme embarrassment for him and the few rational and reasonable minds left in his party.The Republican Empire is going the way of the Maya. Destroyed, not by outside sources – ( the Toltec and Aztec didn’t destroy Mayan civilization ) – but by cannibalizing itself through internal dissension and irrational fanaticism among the ruling elite.Adios !

“Maybe the NRA will disappear.”

Probably not in the foreseeable future. NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre just said today that the only thing that will stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Then he proposed to put an armed man (at 40,000/year/man) in every school in the land.

Prob: How do we know if the “armed man” is a bad man or a good man? People are a mixture of bad and good. How could we have known if the Newtown shooter was a “bad kid” or a “good kid” before the murders occurred?

Gun control must be a part of the answer.

“Hillary and the immaculate concussion! BENGHAZI-COVERUP!”

Calimesa and the lack of confession. COVERUP!

“… the same size meteor would do the same thing that the Yellowstone caldera would do to the entire earth.”

Volcano eruption = meteor strike?

Don’t underestimate the Yellowstone caldera’s destructive potential. It is not just a volcano, as we think of them. It would make Krakatoa look like a firecracker.

“Don’t underestimate the Yellowstone caldera’s destructive potential.”

Which do you think was bigger, thebird55, any past eruption of the Yellowstone caldera or the Theia impact 4.5 billion years ago?

“The Theia impact of course that formed the moon and killed whatever life was on earth when became molten again. What is your point?”

Extraterrestrial impacts can be larger than any terrestrial volcano by many orders of magnitude.

Trudeau probably had an alternate strip if the world had ended.

I was never that worried. I knew God has it under control and no one knows the day or the hour of the end.
