Spare Us the Cutter

Bob Gorrell, 12/18/13:

There are people who do not have budgetary responsibility for something, and they want to spend a lot less money on it than the people who do have responsibility.

Wonder if these are the same people who think the US spends 25 times what it actually does on foreign aid?

Now the Russians -- Those Were the RIGHT Kind of Commies!

Bob Gorell, 12/5/13:

Space is for white people!

Just Say No!

Bob Gorrell, 8/12/13:
The first in a new series from Gorrell: Word in the News!

Keep a look out for stunning depictions of Crime, Scandal, and Unemployment!
Thrill as Gorell hand-letters a headline from the day's paper, and then carefully draws a word to fill his cartoon space!

An Attack of the Vapors

Bob Gorrell, 7/30/13:

Seriously, a black guy has been President for five years now! What the hell kind of country would allow that!

Or Is He Just Calling For Anarchy?

Bob Gorrell, 6/26/13:

I'm speechless. Is Gorrell actually complaining that a Republican-dominated Supreme Court just allowed Republican-dominated southern states a giant loophole to ram through measures to keep blacks from voting?

Because that's true, but usually Gorrell is cheerleading for efforts like that.

To My American Readers: Are You Enjoying Living in the Ruins?

Bob Gorrell, 6/24/13:

Whenever anyone learns about a government program or operation that government wanted to keep secret, the nation in question instantly falls.

No exceptions.

Nothing to Hide

Bob Gorrell, 6/19/13:

It is impossible to comprehend that a person might want to make some information public, but not every last detail of his life.

Similarly, news organizations -- such as the one Gorrell works for -- have no editorial function; they just publish as many bytes of data as they can as quickly as they can.

Radical Mercantilism Run Amok!

Bob Gorrell, 5/3/13:

It gets worse! That same girl can walk into stores around this great country of ours and buy many things without parental approval!

In many states, she could even buy My First Gun!

The solution is clear: all Americans under the age of 18 must have parental permission to do every single thing.

One: Cut a Hole in a Box

Bob Gorrell, 4/26/13:

Wait, wait -- hasn't Gorrell been demanding immediate all-out war with Syria * for at least a year now?

Is he now angry that Obama is doing the thing he insisted Obama had to do?



* and Iran, but ignore that for now

A Machine Designed to Kill People, or a Horrible Doctor

Bob Gorrell, 4/25/13:

Seriously, which one?

Gorrell honestly can't figure out whether a horrifically bad doctor is capable of killing as many people as an automatic weapon. Perhaps he should work out how quickly each one can kill a single person, and extrapolate from there.

Boo! Spooky Brown People!

Bob Gorrell, 4/22/13:

Terrorist plots are entirely defined by the culture and religion of the perpetrators, not by their actual ideology, aims, actions, or manifestos -- which of course means that Christian terrorism has been predominant for a good century.

I Know You Are But What Am I?

Bob Gorrell, 4/12/13:

Anti-gun activists are calling for a total, immediate ban on all guns in the entire country, and are not asking for expanded background checks, restrictions on larger cartridge sizes and a reinstatement of the assault-weapon ban.

Really. And they'll be coming in their UN black helicopters to seize your guns and put you in the secret FEMA prison any day now!!!!!!!

Why Should My Values Be Limited to ME?

Bob Gorrell, 3/27/13:

The very most important "traditional family value" is, of course, keeping other people from doing things that you don't like.

Just ask the Puritans!

You Gonna Take That From HIM?

Bob Gorrell, 2/26/13:

Actually, over the past four years, federal spending is as close to flat as it's ever been. Sure, there were two big wars, an unfunded Medicaid expansion, and the bailout of the entire financial sector before that -- but, even there, the big problem was the massive drop in revenue (from a certain president's tax cuts in 2001 and 2002) that drove up those deficits.

But let's not let the facts get in the way of a cartoon or anything....

Those Three Dirty Words

Bob Gorrell, 2/25/13:

Governments should obtain funds through some other means than taxation -- perhaps piracy? -- and just sit on those funds, without using them to do anything.

Thus, the ideal government is Smaug.

Great Minds Drone Together

I actually like these two cartoons -- in contrast to most of the flabby drone cartoons that have cropped up this week -- but they do both say exactly the same thing.
Bob Gorrell, 2/7/13:

Nate Beeler, 2/7/13:

Beeler gets the nod on points: his drawing is more amusing, and he twists the knife with the Nobel Prize there.

He Didn't Say!

Bob Gorrell, 2/1/13:

"...because, even though all of those things are indisputably true, my old GOP "friends" have heart attacks whenever they are said in public."

Seriously? Iran doesn't have a stable government that its people mostly like? Our policy on Iran is to conquer them and sow salt in their fields? There's no Israeli lobby that intimidates politicians? We need to keep a vast nuclear arsenal to fight off the Soviet Union of 1986?  Iraq is a peaceful democracy? Really?

Cantinflas, Where Have You Gone?

Bob Gorrell, 1/28/13:

In case you have forgotten, Gorrell would like to remind you that all this sweet talk about "illegal immigration" is really about dirty foreigners.

And, if you should happen to be worried that he'll either steal your job or burgle your home, then Gorrell has done his job for the day.

Get Your Scrambled Eggs Back in the Kitchen!

Bob Gorrell, 1/24/13:

Having women serve in combat is completely horrible, for reasons Gorrell would be happy to explain...

...if only he didn't have this darn 3:00 tee-time.

Maybe tomorrow!

Addicted to Breathing

Bob Gorrell, 1/10/13:

The big problem with the government -- or maybe just with a government run by Democrats -- is that it spends money. If only it didn't do that, Gorrell might be able to tolerate it.
