Farcus by David Waisglass and Gordon Coulthart for April 27, 2022

The strangest part of it all is that such position is indeed vacant!

No, but I read a lot of comics.

“Public sex or what?

The inmates are running the asylum…..

So that’s where they’re coming from. Someone is hiring them and placing them in positions of power.

Ran out of candidates from the Monty Python Agency?

He probably thought he said PUBIC.

There will be a lot of competition available for this position after the next election.

Gumby, the executive years. (Monty Python reference)

“I used to be a congressman, but the insanity got to me in the end.”

We had a village idiot in our neighborhood when I was a kid. He had been messed up on moonshine and in addition to being mentally defective had a condition called “jackleg” where his leg would suddenly get a spasm where he’d have to stop until it settled down. Sometimes kids would follow him and imitate his jackleg but mostly he was an ok guy who would smile and do his best.

The village idiot or the town drunk were the ones who often had access to almost everywhere, since few people paid much attention to them. Thus, they knew what was going on around town, and usually unphased by the BS. As Sir Isaac pointed out, they were generally decent folks, if you took the time to get to know them.

Only as a politician and also as a senior beaurocrat
