o.k. gak i'll give you that ( "give us an insight into someone elses take on life" ) and i did exaggerate a bit on the 40 years. the only comic i consider worth a damn is the far side. but i have read them all and haven't learned a thing from them, surprised?

on a side track:
as far as political toons.....nothing more than republicans and democrats making fun of each other in an attempt to reach a younger crowd (easily impressionable) thus swaying their clueless asses to vote for them. that's what the young Americans are, totally clueless as to the real world, how things are done and get done. the younger Americans are so out of touch, they think that negotiating with Muslim extremists that want to kill everyone that doesn't believe the archaic horse shit they believe is the right thing to do. what are we going to negotiate? uh....if you don't kill us we will let you in on our awesome economical prowess? or maybe, "hey man we really love everyone here and you could be free to practice whatever dumbass religion you choose here as long as you don't kill us?

i'm interested to hear what toons you feel are educational, 'cause i can't think of any.
