These are funny and relevant.
From c&F. Posted by you.
I'm speechless.

The 2nd one is classic ludicrous C&F but the first is actually sort of funny. Blind squirrels etc etc

Every now and then C&F actually produce a great cartoon. Both of these are flawed but good. Oh man...Mugabwe. He has turned the 'Breadbasket of Africa' into a wasteland. I hope South Africa doesn't follow the same land redistribution policy, else all of those poor blighters will starve.
That's one hell of a butch donkey preparing to chop Gonzales's head off - are C&F saying that the DA's have been working out, or that they're all Dems or what? (However, these are minor quibbles. Hogarth or Rowlandson C&F ain't, but this is still better-than-average.)

I'm so used to such severe partisan crap from Cox & Forkum that I didn't take it the way other people here did. It seemed more of an indictment of the given attorneys, saying they were democratic hit men.

It figures C&F would say that. It's well known that Bush always appoints a certain number of Democratic hit men, in the interests of bipartisanship.

I'm not sure we have the same image.

My impression is that they are comparing these "less than Republican" attorneys with aggressive, simpleminded cretins. The fact that he has made them into a donkey and dressed like a medieval executioner implies that they are partisan dealers of dubious justice. Notice the half-lidded expression and the axe at the ready.

Again, if anyone else had made this cartoon, I might feel differently. But knowing their partisanship changes the dynamic of the comic. And quite frankly, when the message completely depends on who is delivering it, I consider it a bad example of the art.

Cool posts. Mugabe was once seen as the type of strong man that would be good for Africa. The world will not morn his passing.

First Comic doesnt make sense. Is he saying that the Republican Appointed Attornies that were confirmed by a Republican Congress were democratic hitmen?

Seriously?

Second one is pretty good though
