Here's an idea. Wookie, share with us your interpretation of the comic.

-Maybe if we collect enough data from enough viewpoints, we'll be able to ascertain what the comic's supposed to be about.

It should be very clear. Tibby views a bland, boring, harmless political cartoon that virtually all of us just go "meh" to and rhetorically asks if it's what passes for political commentary in America. Um, pretty sure there's no shortage of unfunny, bland political cartoons of his country's politics online somewhere. Just a guess. Anyway, he then announces that he didn't even bother with the video because he "can guess at what it is". Larry's boring delivery of his over the top outrage is far more humorous than the comic itself.

Wow. Guess I never noticed just how hot Hillary and Laura were.

So you moved from 2 mounds of flesh and fat to a slightly different 2 mounds of flesh and fat.

I've always preferred the ass, myself. A girl could be flat chested and I wouldn't mind as long as the back yard was luscious enough...

I believe the point of the comic is that Obama's ears are rather large. Case closed!

Yes. I'm not sure why you needed to ask. You could have just reread my post.

I did but if it is normal then how is it a stereotype? No, that's not worded well. If a majority (or even plurality I guess) of a certain group tend to act a certain way then is there something wrong with depicting it that way? I guess it depends on whether or not your use of the word stereotype is meant to infer some sort of prejudice.

I'm pretty sure those are European first ladies. I think one of them is probably Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. To France!

I couldn't believe that was Clinton and Bush, and Snopes agrees with me.

Yeah, I was kidding about that and I'm surprised nobody called me on it. Well, not extremely surprised.

Yeah, I just realized that I completely misunderstood what Potato meant by "two other First Ladies."
