While I appreciate that you feel this way, I have to ask why do we have to bring politics into everything? This is a 30 year old comic strip about coming to terms with their house being broken into and Mom’s gratitude that no one was hurt. There is no mention of Republicans or Democrats, no mention of what the government is going to do to prevent this from happening in the future or how the crime rates are rising. So why? Why do we have to make everything political?
All week all that comes to mind for me is the song “Carrot Juice is Murder” by The Arrogant Worms. Here are the lyrics:Listen up brothers and sisters, come hear my desperate taleI speak of our friends of nature, trapped in the dirt like a jailVegetables live in oppression, served on our tables each nightThe killing of veggies is madness, I say we take up the fightSalads are only for murderers, coleslaw’s a fascist regimeDon’t think that they don’t have feelings, just ‘cause a radish can’t scream
I’ve heard the screams of the vegetables (scream scream scream)Watching their skins being peeled (Having their insides revealed)Grated and steamed with no mercy (burning off calories)How do you think that feels (bet it hurts really bad)Carrot Juice constitutes murder (and that’s a real crime)Greenhouses’ prisons for slaves (let my vegetables grow)It’s time to stop all this gardening (it’s as dirty as hell)Let’s call a spade a spade (is a spade is a spade is a spade…)
I saw a man eating celery, so I beat him black and blueIf he ever touches a sprout again, I’ll bite him clean in twoI’m a political prisoner trapped in a windowless cage‘cause I stopped the slaughter of turnips by killing five men in a rageI told the judge when he sentenced me, this is my finest hourI’d kill those farmers again just to save one more cauliflower
I’ve heard the screams of the vegetables (scream scream scream)Watching their skins being peeled (Having their insides revealed)Grated and steamed with no mercy (burning off calories)How do you think that feels (bet it hurts really bad)Carrot Juice constitutes murder (and that’s a real crime)Greenhouses’ prisons for slaves (let my vegetables grow)It’s time to stop all this gardening (it’s as dirty as hell)Let’s call a spade a spade (is a spade is a…)How low as people do we dare to stoopMaking young broccoli’s bleed in the soupUntie your beans, uncage your tomatoes, let potted plants freeDon’t mash that potato ooooh oooo
