    This is laugh-out-loud funny, because it’s all so true!

    Not to second guess Ruben, but I think the title could’ve easily been “It’s the Great Pumpkin Pied Piper of Capitol Hill, Charlie Brown”.

    I so love Fridays!

    Netizens, if you’re not Patreon followers of Mr Bolling, you should be. He had a great long post about his history with Peanuts.

    Now the QAnon morons think Trump will be inaugurated as president on March 4th as the 19th president of the USA.

    “Under hashtags like #19thpresident (which has more than 235,000 views), or #march4th (which has more than 1.4 million views) TikTok users are propagating the idea that an obscure 1871 act made the United States a corporation and not a federal government, thus rendering any laws passed after that year moot and U.S. citizens not subject to them. According to this theory, the United States will revert back to its original form on March 4th, the date when presidents were inaugurated prior to the 1933 passage of the 20th amendment. They believe Trump will be sworn in as the 19th president of the United States. (The 18th president, Ulysses S. Grant, served between 1869 and 1877, or the time period when those who cling to this theory believe the United States “became” a “corporation.”)”

    I’m not sure whether I should Laugh at the SHEER BRILLIANCE of this, or CRY because of the SOUL-SEARING TRUTH of it!

    OMG, I should have realized that the orange makeup was an attempt to fool the devote into realizing that he was the Great Pumpkin!!

    Trump’s gone, Reuben. He’s gone! Let him go and get back to the funny again… like God Man whacking Nietsche Lad or the Round Fruit Party clashing with the Grub Party amidst hoots, ground slaps and copulations.

    @larryculley: Today’s cartoon is not about Trump.

    What’s this “trump” thing? Is there some meaning aside from bridge, euchre, etc.? Did I miss something? If so, don’t explain. Seems unpleasant.

    Dude! Linus was one of my favorite characters on Peanuts. Did you have to make him look like a QTip loon? :-)

    " ‘Y.M.C.A.’ has four letters."

    ‘Signed’ by whom, I wonder?

    Don’t tell the Trumpers that the song “Y.M.C.A.” came out of the openly gay community in NYC…

    I second all of the “brilliant” comments. This analogy is great.

    Looks like it’s Peanuts Day. 3 of the strips I follow had a Peanuts theme.

    Sometimes there’s a dent in Linus’s forehead, sometimes not, and when there is a dent, it keeps moving around.
