Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling NATE Nate: There WON'T be an oil spill in the Gulf! DRILL, m@#*& F!/$@, DRILL! Reporter: That was you last year, Nate! In light of the OIL SPILL, what are your feelings on drilling in the Gulf now? Nate: WHAT?! Nate: I never said there wouldn't be an oil spill! Anyway, what does the spill have to do with oil drilling?! Reporter: Um...huh? Nate: "Sigh!" These people! Finding bizarre connections just to advance their political agendas. STUDIOS Man: You maniac! You're on the sidewalk! Nate: And your point IS?! Nate: I'm home! What's for dinner? Woman: Oh, NO! Nate, you're in the wrong house, AGAIN! You live next door! Nate: I never said I didn't! Now it's chilly in here -- excuse me while I start a fire! Man: Nate! That's NOT a fireplace! Woman: AGH! IT'S OUT OF CONTROL! Nate: You complainers! Are you saying people shouldn't be warm?! Man: Nate, our house is burning down! Nate: "Sigh!" What's that got to do with ME? Fire is part of nature! Man: NATE! Nate: I'm not saying they started that fire themselves, just so they could blame me...but it seems very convenient. Nate: It's a burden being RIGHT all the time! End
Politics aside, this is one obvious joke stretched over nine panels, and about as subtle as a kick in the groin. Really Michael Moorer style preaching to the choir, and who aspires to that?
Harvey Richards would wreck Nate, probably with the classic “I’m rubber, you’re glue” doctrine of reciprocal taunts.
