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.

Yeah! As if the Farm Bill is giong to help the small farmer. Only corporate farms get the big money.

Of course most farming in the U.S. is done by corporations, but this is a good proxy for everything Congress is has left hanging. But then for the Republicans, they’ve done everything they can on their main objective of obstructing everything the President has tried to do… Oh, except find a suitable replacement.

It is pretty sad when that actually scraped through the bottom of the barrel, and came up with Mittens!
And just think, they had to go through “Crazy-Eyes” Bachmann, The Lizard, Spermin’ Herman, and Six-Gun Perry to get there!

And, what do you want to bet they will be calling for a “Congressional Investigation” of Rising Food prices later in the year when the crops come in much below the estimates, and the prices skyrocket in the stores??

And they will find a way to blame Obama. After all, the Koch brothers paid good money to get Congress to deny climate change.

It’s official: July was the hottest in all of American history, and the last year was the hottest year. Some scientists are thinking this will be the “new normal.” Which would call for a drink, except my drink just evaporated in this heat……..

A fluke of nature is that even the animals with smallest brains can reproduce, which might explain “deniers”.
Our water resources have been DECLINING for some time, and the current drought is almost a decade long in some areas (like mine). Warming is just PART of the problem, that yes, does exacerbate other “problems”.

Maybe the farmer can do a little target shooting to relax.

You cannot blame congress the president or the Supreme Court for a lack of rain.

they would help the farmer if farmers could afford to give huge sums of money to PACS.

No, but you can blame Congress when it skips town for (another!) vacation before passing a Farm Bill like they’d promised.

Republicans filibustered the cyberprotection bill. Brenner reported about 200 cyber attacks to the U.S. vital infrastructure,i.e. electric grids etc last year,many originated by the Russians or Chinese. McCain said it was too expensive to make businesses protect the VITAL U.S. COMPUTER INFRASTRUCTURE. When it crashes, remember the Republicans blocked this necessary legislation,then went on vacation.

In the past it was a bad sign if the the crop didn’t come in, it meant god had lost favor on them all and the king might have been deposed .

Another typical Oliphant exaggeration. This Congresscritter is shown providing a watering can to an American farmer. Huh, yeah, like THAT’S gonna happen!
