When Washington was president the country used everyone else’s money (currency). When Obama is president he spends everyone else’s money..Good jokes sir.
A comic strip which I would really prefer not to be making political statements. Reagan and Bush piled up far more debt than Obama. The previous administration richly deserves whatever “blame” it may receive.
Oh, and I suppose you learned this from history? You know, the part where Roosevelt’s spending policies nearly bankrupted the country and the only reason the recession ended was because of WWII?
George sort of followed Ben Franklin’s advice and married a rich widow! Franklin said young men should marry older women. Why? “Because they’re so grateful.” lol

@Nabuquduriuzhur: Washing was born into plantation aristocracy where plantation owners got rich from their slaves’ labor.

Scancarelli’s draftsmanship is unparalleled, but his humor is pretty lame in general – lamer still when he tries to get topical.

Although Jim over looked Skeezix’s birthday this year, he did a darn good job observing President’s Day. Loved it.

Can’t you and Susan Newman keep politics out of our comic strips with your nasty comments?

John Adams may not have been your definition of an aristocrat, but as a founding father he was an intellectual aristocrat and detested slavery.

Since when does relating a bit of history become a complaint? Arye said nothing that would imply your reaction.

It’s not ‘just a comic strip’ – it’s Gasoline Alley!

A very funny comic to be sure, but not as good as the Joel and Rufus story arc!
