Much as I disagree with the message,
This is more than a step above average, this cartoon and it’s coloring stand out as first class.

Bok has the bitter truth in his cartoon message, IMO.
Obama is the 21st century Nero, fiddling while Chicago, his chosen “home town”, and the US of A burns with gang crimes and murder, despite strict anti-gun and other anti-crime laws in cities like Chicago….criminals don’t care what laws are on the books…..criminals plan crimes and find what weapons they want to use to commit crimes….NYCity is another strict city….and crime statistics rise in spite of laws, and it is insane to push for stricter laws taking rights away from the law-abiding Americans.

replace Nero! (but already some are talking in media about Obama for a 3rd term in 2016! those people don’t care about laws on the books, either)

All that persecution of the Christians must be terribly difficult for you.

By the way, how many urban riots have there been under Obama? None that I can think of.

Nice, Chip. Nothing to do with the current situation, bears no relevance to much of anything, in fact, but it’s negative and that’s all that matters.

No, no, no, boys, you all got it wrong. This is about Benghazi. It serves to foment the RWNJ lie that Obama was able to watch the attack in real time. Bok is their tool, don’t take anything he writes or draws serious…

I agree. Bok is not very versatile or intelligent in his critiques.

You can’t tell the difference between a riot and a constitutionaly granted protest.

A 15 year old child was murdered by gun violence one mile from his Chicago home, a murder that should never have occurred since Chicago has the Strictest Gun Control Laws of any City in the Nation… Wait, even Chicago’s Democrat Mayor admits albeit Chicago has the Strictest Gun Laws of any City in the Nation, they still have the highest rate of gun violence than any USA City. This is proof stricter Gun Law will not reduce gun violence for if stricter gun laws reduced gun violence, then Chicago would have a near if not zero rate of Gun Violence, the lowest in the Nation instead of the highest.
