Transcript:
Jeff: Seems peaceful enough... I wonder if the girls are educated... And the square root of 16? Woman: The answer is 4, Sorkh Razil. Man: You've educated your last female, Sorkh Razil! Jeff: "Loss... homecoming... loss." Man: What the...? Jeff: The prophet taught universal brotherhood, did he not? Man: Yes, I am so ashamed, Sorkh Razil. Jeff: DIE, EVILDOER! Man: GACK! Zipper: I like the second ending better. What's this for? Jeff: My memoirs. "The Red Rascal is teaching math to some Afghan girls... when without warning... thinking quickly, the Red Rascal starts to sing an ancient Pashtun ballad about loss and homecoming. As the intruder is overcome with emotion, the Red Rascal reaches out to him. As the intruder is overcome with emotion, the Red Rascal disembowels him."

The wishful thinking some people express in this forum is occasionally very fun to watch. Downright cathartic, in fact.

Looks like the Rascal is going to be a NYT best seller, and a must read for the Afghan command.

To hell with memoir, go with screenplay!

Seriously, though… Greg Mortenson has built schools (mostly for girls) all over Afghanistan and none of them have been attacked. Google him, or read his book “Three Cups of Tea…”
If our government just gave him the amount of money it takes to support one soldier for a year, we would make more progress over there.

Is the red Rascal the ghostwriter for George W. Bush’s soon to released memoirs?
benbrilling-
Your right.
But if we get off OIL and Empire, we can leave them to wander the deserts forever.

The Red Rascal disembowels him. His internal organs were now external.
Stay tuned for the next gut-wrenching chapter of…THE RED RASCAL!!!
Dragoncat over 14 years ago
Jeff… Do yourself a favour. Remember to tell the publisher that it’s fiction (which of course, it is!) and your “Memoirs of the Red Rascal” with be the next Best Seller.

Wow! If RR had asked for the square root of nine he could have done a crossover with BC!

stebon, palin, et al., do you folks ever take time off from your fantasy world to actually observe? I ask because neither this strip nor its creator (nor the several stripes of political viewpoint you lump together as “liberal”) even remotely resemble your cliche-ridden descriptions. It must be tiring, walking around with all those preconceptions.

What kind of abortion qualifies as unnecessary? One that you don’t approve of? If you don’t like the idea of abortions you shouldn’t have one. Amazing, how many people think they have to stick their noses into other people’s business. Having the right to abortion only means that women are able to have some control over their own lives. This may not have anything to do with you but it sure can mean a lot to women in poverty who might otherwise lose their lives without the means to a safe abortion. Also, where did this train of thought come from? Certainly not the strip.

Abortion Nazis! Abortion Nazis!
Hopefully my invoking Godwin’s Law will stop that subject from going any further.

Coyoty: you can’t intentionally invoke Godwin’s Law, in the same way stebon can’t rub two neurons together to generate a rational thought.

@RichardSRussell: “I hate it when there are asterisks that don’t lead to anything.”
The asterisk leads to fine print on the right side of the same panel, where it says Sorkh Razil is “Dari for Red Rascal”…

Anybody out there read Brewster Rockit? That would have been Winky’s spleen.

Getting disembowelment past the censors and into a comic strip is a WIN in my book!
