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.

Hmmm, amazing how many kill themselves while cleaning weapons, like looking up the barrel?

Lots of people went broke overestimating the American attention span.

I don’t think there’s any chance of him killing himself with his gun broken down that far.

People are buying guns, not protesting for banning guns.

Gun sales through the roof since O was elected. People don’t feel safe anymore.

@Ms. Ima
Of COURSE they don’t feel safe anymore.
Since Congress has raped the budget to pay for the shrub’s wars, cities and states have had to cut back on things like adequate Police Protection.
Take a couple of Billion Dollars from the Defense Department, and spread it around to the states with budget shortfalls, and things MIGHT just improve a little.

Yes, “people are buying guns” but far more are
“protesting for banning guns.” The time for reform has arrived.

^why not do both? fits with the republican “i got mine, i don’t care if you got yours” mentality – which goes hand in hand with their "there is no “I” in team, but there is a “ME” in aMErica".

Under Obama, the debt went up $5.5T, and the deficit has gone down since he started. W left us the biggest deficit since WWII. And almost all of the other debt was wracked up under Reagan and the Bushes.

the first part of the 2nd amendment that gun owners / NRA conveniently forget refers to a ’well-regulated militia"…. imho, meaning gun owners have a responsibility to be known to city, county and state law authorities

In a generation or so the US will have a Gini Coefficient (measure of income inequality) about the same as Mexico’s if nothing changes on its present economic course. Government could be by and for the one percent propped up by Homeland Security. An armed populace of rugged individualists could be one of the few bulwarks against this situation.

If we weren’t STILL having to pay for the wars that the shrub started, that we NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN IN THE FIRST PLACE, we wouldn’t be in this mess!
There was NO reason to stay in Iraq for more then 6 months after Saddam was eliminated, and there was NO reason to go into Afghanistan in the first place.
Just because Halliburton, and Cheney wanted to make several Billion more dollars was not a good enough reason!
