Hi GoComics readers,
Many of you have expressed curiosity and even concern about the comic hiatus for Pat Oliphant's drawings. We wanted to share that Pat is doing well, in good health, but simply on vacation. As soon as when we have an update on the date of his next drawing, we'll share the news here and via social media.
We have wonderful readers. This is an example of the impact that an artist and their work can have on lives and we will continue to value that relationship with you. Thank you.

Called "the most influential cartoonist now working" by The New York Times, Pat Oliphant occupies a unique position among today’s editorial cartoonists: Widely considered the dean of the profession, he is one of its sharpest, most daring practitioners.

Don’t worry, Dimond said that heads will roll. Just not his.

What was his bonus this year? Something like $12M?

With two hundred more Public employed and Obama said the only president who has laid off the public sector during a recession is me. No Shame.

As Obama said, the private sector is doing fine. As long as you are in the 1%.

If even Oliphant comments on it this way the “gaffe” must be more than I thought. But, in fact, the President was right. Read the full transcript. it was a comparison with the public sector and how much jobs got lost there because of the failed GOP-policies of fighting debt and deficit by European-style austerity measures. Who do they think they are? The socialists paradise, Germany? SOCIALISTS! COMMUNISTS! MARXISTS! Every-other-ISTS!!!

200 more employed? You can’t even get your talking points right!

The “gaffe” when taken in context, which is beyond “conservative intellect”, is pretty true. The REST of the story was that overall the economy is still ill, and needs more help!
I’m disappointed with a number of Obama’s actions, but, as when “W” was in and we had to try to explain “Americans” rational for giving him a second term to folks from Europe and New Zealand, I’m far MORE disappointed with my fellow citizens.

Never send a marxist narcissist to do a President’s job.

On average (total income divided by 310,000,000 people), the private sector IS doing fine. Also, I’m an average guy, so when you, me, and Bill Gates are in the same room, I have a net worth of $20,000,000,000.

From John Steinbeck, AMERICA AND AMERICANS:
“The President must be greater than anyone else, but not better than anyone else. We subject him and his family to close and constant scrutiny and denounce them for things that we ourselves do every day. A Presidential slip of the tongue, a slight error in judgment — social, political, or ethical — can raise a storm of protest. We give the President more work than a man can do, more responsibility than a man should take, more pressure than a man can bear. We abuse him often and rarely praise him. We wear him out, use him up, eat him up. And with all this, Americans have a love for the President that goes beyond loyalty or party nationality; he is ours, and we exercise the right to destroy him. "

Good quote. Of course, anyone that burns one billion dollars to land a $400K a year job is an idiot anyway. :D

And the “jobs figures” keep going down — well that happens every year when we lay off all the teachers at the end of the school year (so they can collect unemployment insurance). Don’t know about elsewhere, but in Michigan the property taxes used to pay for education, but those got cut in half by one of our illustrious former GOP guvs — Engler. Now we don’t understand why there is no money for education — Duh!!
