For some reason I can't let this thread die.

So it's still too early for Tinsley's reaction to the elections (that's probably about two weeks away). This past week we've had the rare opportunity to see relatively apolitical Mallard... an entire week devoted to strips about how he likes fruitcake! My favorite though is from November 13:

Oh yes, those fruitcake strips are really something. Of course, it could be argued that every Mallard installment is a fruitcake strip.

And then there's today's trip to Bizarro World.

Can I admit that I (perhaps ironically) am not entirely clear on what a fruitcake...is?

I'm not sure letting Bruce Tinsley have his own comic strip was a great idea...

Halleluiah! It's going to be a week's worth of John Kerry strips! Maybe more! After two weeks of fruitcake and "Keith Richards looks really old" jokes, I bet Tinsley is salivating at having this drop in his lap. I predict that he'll be milking this "Kerry hates the troops" thing for years to come. It's going to replace Chappaquidick as his all purpose, when-in-doubt liberal bashing joke.

Is a two-week lead time really an adequate excuse for forgetting something that happens on the same date every year?

Hey, didn't he just thank John Kerry?

John Kerry doesn't count. He didn't bleed enough.

Tinsley doesn't believe in calendars. They are products of the MSM.

I look forward to his Thanksgiving strip a couple of weeks from now.

BTW, the other annoying right-wing strip, "Prickly City," has already caught up with the election results.

I don't know what's less funny, the duck or that.

I guess he's already given up on the John Kerry thing.

A two-week lead time prevents Tinsley from remembering that November 11 is Veteran's Day, but he has no trouble remembering the significance of November 24.
