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.

He’s just their “Lord and Savior”. Were He alive today, GWB would have sent an army in, to kill him.

No, he would have used Extraordinary Rendition. Send the Congressmen to bathe in the Jordan River, they are at home in those waters.

This happened a year ago, and is definitely the stupidest issue for the Republicans to get “bent” about. As a life long hot spring and “skinny dipper” fan, the absolute paranoia of the “religious right” about nudity, is insane. BTW: identify the most violent cultures on the planet, and you’ll find they ARE the ones who find nudity, and the human body, “disgusting” and “sinful”.

Not true. Texas has many ‘clothing optional’ swimming spots, including Deep Eddy in Austin.

Et tu, Pat? Why is skinny dipping the story? Teens do it all the time. The media needs to focus on who paid for the junket.

Like David Letterman said, Yoder put the junk in junket. (Btw since I live in Missouri 8 blocks from the Kansas state line, I’m currently suffering from both our political idiot Akin and their political idiot Yoder……which can be quite tiring.)

“Teens do it all the time.”
I live near Berlin, Germany and if you go to a clothing optional beach here, it’s everyone but teens who are likely to “opt out”. Odd somehow.
But on your points:
“Why is skinny dipping the story?” and “The media needs to focus on who paid for the junket.”
I agree completely, and it can’t be said often enough.

If anyone was wondering, according to Richard Silverstein (dot com)
“Any of you old enough to remember Wilbur Mills late night drunken dip in the Tidal Basin with Fanny Fox are gonna love this story. Last summer, Eric Cantor boasted that he would bring the largest Congressional junket to Israel ever. He did, bringing 80 House members. Aipac funded each tour member to the tune of $10,000 each meaning they blew at least $800,000 on just the Congressmembers. There were also spouses and children along, so the entire cost may’ve reached $1.5 million. This is one of Aipac’s most critical investments because it brings into the pro-Israel fold some of the best Congressmembers money can buy.”

I’m sure that in the last 2000 years or so nobody went in there swimming in the nude… Tempest in a teapot, no matter where you stand politically.

Yes, the Jordan, doesn’t that flow to the Dead Sea ? More appropriate.

It’s more of a rental.
