We were right about Vietnam. We were right about Nixon. We were right about Reaganomics. Trust us -- we're right about Bush, too.

The book actually came out in 2000. I wonder if Tinsley started reading it then.

For the love of Christ, when will Tinsley stop telling the same lie?

Ha. The OSS profile of Hitler could just as easily apply to Shrub.

His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

That's what's great about Tinsley -- he's not afraid to take on the big targets.

Check out the Wikipedia entry on MF --

The strip follows the exploits of its title character, a politically conservative anthropomorphic green-feathered duck who works as a reporter at fictional television station WFDR in Washington, D.C.


I can't say I've ever seen Mallard engage in any *exploits*, can you? Tinsely doesn't even both to draw backgrounds most of the time.

(Contrast him to 'Lucky Ducky' in Ruben Bolling's excellent 'Tom the Dancing Bug' strip.)

Apparently, there used to be plotlines and supporting characters and all sorts of stuff in MF. Now, not so much.

The worst-ever "Tom The Dancing Bug" is infinitely funnier than the best-ever MF.

So now this goofball is equating Abraham Lincoln, MLK and JFK with the Three Stooges? I think he could have picked a better folk song to parody.

He's such an iconoclast.

Do people actually enjoy this strip? Seriously, this has to be the saddest shambling wreck of a comic strip I've ever seen. I can't see how a diehard conservative can enjoy this strip on political sympathy alone - its right-wing agenda has mutated into some kind of bizarre, incessant crackpot rant. It's like Grandpa Simpson's ramblings strung together, but not nearly as funny.
