Pat Oliphant for December 11, 2008
Transcript:
God: Hey, Abe, if you're from Illinois... how did you come by the sobriquet, Honest Abe? Lincoln: Well, that was before the word Illinois became synonymous with the term crooked. Whenever they caught a crook in Illinois, they'd say, "old Honest Abe must be turning in his grave!" These days they just call me, Spinning Abe.

What artwork. Note the little subtleties–God pointing to the coffee pot in frame 1 and pouring a cup in frame 4.
Plus the point is excellent.

With his finger out like that I wonder if He “created” coffee into the pot.

I lived in Illinois for many years while I was young, the one lesson I took away from there was that political positions are bought not elected.

.. and you think that’s only in Illinois? Every man should be entitled to the best politition money can buy. But in W’s case we’re due a large refund.

Good one HUMPHRIES. Our neighbors in Louisiana are the Southern equivalent of Illinois.

I’ve always liked Pat Oliphant, and here’s another reason. He has a different perspective of things. However, God would know why Lincoln’s called Honest Abe. Perhaps he should have a debate again with Stephen Douglas over the corruption in Illinois! OOH! I may draw my own cartoon on that!

Maybe it’s St. Peter.
