Holy tendentious comics, Batman!

Hmmm.

Saw a page from this and I have to say I’m a little insulted. What’s with the scene in page 9 set the UN where France, Canada, Spain and Germany are applauding Ambassador Bin Ladden.

Web Page Under Construction

What a load of Crap, is it a parody of ignorant attitudes that I’m missing or is this writer lumping Iraq with 9/11 and ignoring the fact that the above countries are active in Afghanistan hunting terrorists? If the former then it’s too clever for me. If the latter the it’s a waste of ink and paper.

What I dig are the narrative-boxes in the last panel:

. . . EVERY TEACHING ON WARFARE AGREES ON ONE PRINCIPLE WE LEARNED AS CHILDREN . . .

. . . WHICH IS: FOOL ME ONCE . . . ERRMM . . . SHAME ON YOU! BUT YA CAN’T FOOL ME AGAIN!

I wouldn’t bother getting irritated about it. After all, the faces of the ambassadors are little more than caricatures, and the idea that either Bin Laden or Chirac will still be alive in 20 years seems a little unlikely to me.

Is it just me, or is the idea of someone naming their kid “Reagan” unintentionally hilarious?

“‘Ronald-Ann’?”
“I was born on election day 1984, and in a fit of patriotic optimism, my mother named me after him.”
“Ah…”
“There has been the occasional second thought.”
“Say no more.”
