I hate to think that Bruce Tinsley's kids will end up just as dumb as he is.

Well, the conservative credo is "every man for himself," after all.

I'm still worried that the duck keeps changing color. Are they supposed to be two different ducks? A Jekyll and Hyde situation? Is the "white duck" supposed be Mallard in the future reflecting on the present? Or does reading the paper scare him so much he turns white? Is it some sort of coded racial commentary?

I worry about these things because everything else about the strip is so stultifying.

He becomes white when he gestures meaningfully with his eyebrows.

Bah. I knew the answer would be a variant of "because Tinsley's lazy." How predictable.

I'll bet he thinks he's really clever naming all the schools after Democrats.

I thought Roosevelt was Bull Moose.
Chuck thinks that I look to good to be a computer geek. I think that I know too much about interface design, css, xhtml, php, asp, perl, and ia (too name a few things) to not be one.

Wearing two shirts, one with the American flag, school officials said he removed the one displaying his patriotism and began waving it at a group of Hispanic students on campus.

“His friends began to hoist him on their shoulders so he could be more predominately displayed when the proctor asked him to give her the shirt,” district spokeswoman Debbie Baker said. “She explained that he can’t incite an already sensitive situation and he told her, ‘This is bullshit’ and ran.”


I guess it's patriotic to be a jerk.

I too, ask the question, why is this a symbol that incites violence but the Mexican flag is not?

Baker added that if it was a Hispanic student waving the Mexican flag at students to cause a problem, school officials would have taken the same action.

Tinsley can't tell the truth to save his life, can he?

I don't think it's really a duck. Everything else in that strip is a lie, so that must be as well. It's probably a puffin.

Can't you see the little girl is solemnly contemplating her patriotism?
