The Nutz family is definitely not the Cleavers, the Waltons or the Bradys. But you'll undoubtedly recognize them anyway. Most likely, they're a lot like the family you grew up in... where the battle for the last chicken leg is comparable to the Battle of Bull Run, sibling rivalry is putting it mildly, and family values usually refers to a coupon book. Soup to Nutz by Rick Stromoski stars hard-working Roy Nutz, his loving wife Pat, and their battling brood - sons Roy-boy and Andrew, daughter Babs and rambunctious dog Rosco.
Stromoski is the seventh in a family of 12 children. Growing up in such a large family has given him an especially developed sense of humor that he has expressed through drawing from the moment he could pick up a pencil. A self-taught cartoonist and humorous illustrator, his work has appeared in national magazines, children's and humor books, newspapers, licensed products, national advertising and network television. Stromoski's greeting cards have become best-sellers for several major companies. He has won four Louie Awards for outstanding greeting card design. He has been nominated for his illustration work by the National Cartoonists Society 12 times and was awarded the Reuben division award for best greeting cards in 1995 and 1998, and for magazine gag cartoons in 1999. An NCS board member since 1997, he was elected president in 2005.

Bush isn’t president anymore petie. Your misdirected comment should have gone directly to O. Put blame on the lame.

I think it is funny how the leftwing nuts blame Bush when he hasn’t been Pres for more than 3 1/2 years and he had to put up with both halves of congress being dimocraps for two years before that. What a sorry way to live blaming everyone for everything. Obama said that he would reduce the debt by half and he added half again as much. Why on earth would you vote for him?

how is it possible that a simple comic can trigger a political rant when it is not even slightly tilted in that direction? i just wish you’d take your stupid comments to someplace else and try to say someting funny or shut up if you can’t do that.

@Ms. Ima
Blame them both then but you don’t. You would defend the dry drunk Bush but attack Obama for the same reason. Be consistent if you dare. Partisanship is obsolete.

@HareBall
I find it amazing that the rightwing nuts blame pres. Obama even before he became president but find no fault with their Bush who put us into this economic mess in the first place. Consistency is the hobgoblin of clear minds.

I reject your reality and substitute my own. Seems to be a creed among people of late. I can understand having strong opinions on something, I do lose respect for the way some people (mostly Republicans) try to make what they think to be a clever play on words attacking the other side. Leave that to the pros, like Rush Limbaugh. Feminazis indeed!
