   Seems to be a continuity faux pas here in the 2nd and 3rd panels the passenger seems to have lost his seat back.

   While as usual this is, of course a snipe at the political idiocy that abounds in DC, given that a number of those slides open out onto the roadway and that the usual occupant of slippery slides is small children….I just think that given the events in Newtown this could have been put off for a while as just the slightest possibility of a child being hurt right now casts a pall onto the otherwise brilliance of the piece.

   The quote the character Karma offer up “fear causes the herd” is apparently a paraphrase from the following quote by the esteemed philosopher and psychologist Bertrand Russel. “Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.” Bertrand Russell.

   The long and short of that is that when sufficiently frightened a group or herd of even docile animals such as cows will be galvanized into hostility towards the frightener, hence the remarkably changed attitudes as reflected on the faces of the bovines in the last panel.

   Personally this particular comics makes me say shame on you Justin Thompson for misusing the gentle bovines in such a way as to have PETA members from all corners of the galaxy coming down on him. Further I think it’s wrong to make anyone do term-paper level research just to find out why a particular comic strip is supposed to be funny.
