The gun store lines were based on something that actually happened. That is Obama talking of starting a big tax on ammunition. There really is nothing more alarming than truth.
This comic strip is going downhill fast. First the ridiculous anti-tax strips and now this. Is it a spoof or does Cooper really believe that global warming is false? I see lots of confused comments above. We don’t need any more outlets that confuse people into believing that global warming isn’t important.
The comic strip isn’t “going downhill”; it is what it is. It’s unreasonable to expect any cartoonist to show no opinion at all or agree with everyone, but it seems like Nathan Cooper is at least representing several ideologies by portraying them all as nitwits. Some more than others, maybe.
On the serious side, nobody needs alarmist propaganda except people whose income depends upon it. It’s not global warming anymore; it’s climate change, now that 95% of climatologists who haven’t been fired for expressing doubt can’t agree on what the climate is really doing or why. And that’s the problem with propaganda: it serves an agenda regardless of truth, it disassociates concerned problem solvers from real problems. Climate change is not a problem; it’s either a natural cycle or a consequence. Pollution is a problem. Now that people are alarmed it, we don’t get sense and solutions; we get reactions (e.g., wind farms where there isn’t any wind). The same goes for ammo. Thanks to Obama or the NRA (I don’t know), ammo is in short supply for hunters, law enforcement, and military needs.
When leadership begs so vigorously to be mocked that editorial cartooning bleeds over into the general funnies, we should all be very, very alarmed!

LOL - I wouldn’t want to be there if/when those corks come loose. I also wouldn’t want those “used” corks back.

Plugging of another sort seems to be going on.

As opposed to conservative alarmist propaganda? (Before you start in, recall the lines at the gun stores after Obama got elected. :-) )

Isn’t it funny that 95% of all climatologists have fallen for that alarmist propaganda?

The report that Pres. Obama has said anything during the election or since about raising taxes on gun ammunition was made up by the NRA.

At least SOMEONE’s paying attention to global warming.

Most gun owners probably shouldn’t own guns.

Wow stuckfly, very well put!
The main reason I’m a “climate change” denier is because Al Gore is making a fortune off of “climate change” and carbon credit trading.
“An Inconvenient Truth” was nothing more than an extra-long infomercial. lol
But back to the strip… lol @ trying to plug cows.. just eat them!
