Jules Feiffer has described Tony Auth best, "His perspective is that of a bemused and often angry comic historian. Irony, never a favorite form with Americans, is his meat and potatoes. He is not smug, and though he can be mean, he is never mean-spirited. Auth is a moralist and an optimist. He insists, even in this day and age, that hope is more than the name of a right-wing comedian or the shtick of a reactionary president."

Great!, another poster (HHHDuffy) just gave me the hint I needed to finally understand this ‘toon, I totally missed the lemons before, I took them for ‘Trash Bags’…
Wonder why this posters’ observations are not showing up here under the panel but instead under the recent comments option…..

“I took them for ‘Trash Bags’”
well, that’s understandable, because rotting lemons belong in trashbags….
good call!

Yes,but if they are trash bags then the ‘lemonade’ bit didn’t make sense to me, I think Tony should’ve left a piece of branch/leaves on a couple of Lemons for extra clarity, but I’m just thinking out loud..:-O

EXTRA! EXTRA!: MCCAIN AND THE REPUBLICONS PACK IT IN; WITHDRAW FROM 2008 PRESIDENTIAL RACE.
In a display of profound embarassment, brought on by a sudden attack of uncharacteristic decency and honor, the RNC, and party candidate John McCain, issued a joint statement that the McCain/Palin ticket would be withdrawn, and no Republicon will stand for election to the office of the Presidency of the United States this November.
“Considering the handling of the office of the Presidency by our candidate of 2000 and 2004, the party is imposing sanctions upon itself in advance of sanctions which almost certainly should be imposed on it by the electorate this fall.”
“The party plans improve its screening techniques to filter out neocons and candidates and their advisers who have sold their cynical souls to the religious right (unless we really, really need those votes to win).
“The party wants to get back to its 20th century historical roots and get down to the business of being the party that stands for the important issues like bigger tax breaks for the rich.”
The spokesman further commented that the self-imposed Presidential election ban would remain in effect through the 2012 election, but would be reviewed, and could be lifted in time for the 2016 election.
“Large corporations, particularly the oil giants and individuals with a net worth of $5,000,000.00 or more, who own seven or more homes, are urged to brace themselves for the tough times ahead.” The announcement concludes: “The abject incompetence of the current administration, and the litany of Republicon bumfungles, as referenced in Mr. Auth’s llustration begs for decisive resolution.”
“Once Sen. McCain had disclosed his VP pick, a tipping point had been reached,” the spokesman said. “Retiring the party from the Presidential sweepstakes for the next couple of election cycles gives us a chance to right our ship, and gives us one last chance to do something right for America.”
“Anyway, how could we ask America to put us back in the White House in 2008 and expect to be taken seriously. I mean, are you kidding?”
