    It’s worth noting that George wasn’t actually elected; he was appointed by congress.

    Incidentally, George W. was a direct descendant of King Edward III, making George a very distant cousin to King George III.

    Trying to defuse the criticisms by hiding behind an old powdered wig, ehh, Cartoon-Boy? Well, what if GW really cannot tell a lie? Where does that leave you? (I suspect this is all a set-up by Rat, who has hired an actor to portray GW and to get Pastis’s goat. Or Goat.)

    Don’t Want To Ban Them, Just Want Them To Pay Their Own way.

    Got this in my email this morning, with a ridiculous message trying to suggest that taking away free daily emails, and replacing it with a pro account free for six months and then paid-for, is a GOOD thing. Evidently GoComics think they’re readers are idiots. Very, very disappointed.

    Two luminaries on the same page – awesome. Self depreciating humor is often the best. Very funny.

    The strip may suck, but at least it’s honest.

    The G Washington book I mentioned yesterday: “His Excellency George Washington” by Joseph J Ellis. Very good read: Washington the man.

    It’s traditional to think of Washington as a great general, who disliked politics.The truth is that he was a very bad general, but an extremely skilled politician.

    Make George read Arlo and Janis and he will change his mind.

    So what does George know? Aside from being dead for hundreds of years, he wasn’t known for his humor. And puerile Pastis puns are more often funny than some other ENTIRE comic strips.

    “PBS is okay but why do we pay for it?”If you don’t want to pay for it then don’t donate.

    George Washington is famous for not having a sense of humor – ask Gouverneur Morris.

    There’s a small but important difference between “not a lie” and “truth”.

    Okay, I was mistaken about George, but at least I’m not as confused as some of the posters here about PBS and PB4S.

    While he’s not the least talented cartoonist I’ve seen, his puns are so bad they could be used as an alternative to waterboarding and the death penality.
