Transcript:
Newt Gingrich: ... and that's what I think of individual mandates. I have time for one more question, folks... Larry: Where you lay your eggs, amphibian?? Gingrich: What the hell is going on? Larry: Show us you gills! Show us you webbed feet! Newt Gingrich press conference.

He lays his eggs on the moon base, obviously.

Hmmm I always thought Newt Gingrich was a human/reptile hybrid.

Looks like Larry is headed to prison. It’s now a felony to protest in any area where someone with Secret Service protection is in.

I wonder what Newts popularity is now? I’d better check the Tad poles!
moe_the_cat over 12 years ago
Newt will try to be hip and only want to answer questions about hair.Better get the Newt jokes out of the way soon, like within a week

The GOP is not the same. Newt and tea partiers have destroyed that. Phew, that is good for the rest of the world. ewh, who cares, this is just funny as hell. Well, see ya in the funny pages.
Sisyphos over 12 years ago
Heavens to betsy! A political guest star, confronted by yellin’ Larry! Security! Security! {But seriously, folks. I bet Newt will request the original drawing for his personal collection….]
doublepaw over 12 years ago
Not fair making fun of GOP candidates Steph, that is way too easy for they provide most of the humor unwittingly.

@ momsaid & JackButler : Thanx
@briatollah : Don’t know if I’d like a glimpse of the colony ;-p

Watch out Larry. Newt may very well launch an attack on the crocs, accusing them of possessing weapons of mass destruction…
Rainfoot over 12 years ago
@ phatts a crocodille boot is more this strips style, maybe newt can hire Plaid to chase the crocs off, I miss the little zeeba allready.

Is the woman on the left side of the audience Alice from Dilbert?
rmacprivate over 12 years ago
The depth and complexity of his questions to Newt suggest to me that Sarah Palin is behind this.
Hoodude over 12 years ago
Berners and Leonbergers have webbed feet…

…don’t get the funny part…

@PacMan Dreaming – Had to look up HR 347 (Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011). Passed the House overwhelmingly and the Senate with a voice vote. Yikes!
finale over 12 years ago
Crocs better hope the boys from “Swamp People” don’t show up.
MeGoNow Premium Member over 12 years ago
The crocs are on to him now. Maybe not a newt, but definitely a lower life form.
LiviaBay over 12 years ago
Brrr…. They walk among us….
daveoverpar over 12 years ago
Obama OWS supporters being odious. As usual.
jmatrixrenegade over 12 years ago
Newt should like this — gets him SOME attention. It’s all about Santorum these days.
sbeavin over 12 years ago
Those crocs are as dumb as birthers!
Dapperdan61 Premium Member over 12 years ago
The crocs are making Newt almost look normal. Would like to see those webbed feet behind the podium
UMaDOS over 12 years ago
Shouldn’t “Hell” be censored in that sense? Or did I miss some kind of document that allows swearing in comics?
lightningsnowstorm over 12 years ago
LOL love it!!!
coldsooner over 12 years ago
LOL. Nuff said.

Fedex and UPS don’t have to handle letters, junk mail or advertising pamphlets. If they did that, the post office would do the job much better than either one of them. Could Fedex get a letter from NY to LA for 47 cents in a day??
VirginiaCityLady over 12 years ago
Right on! You go alligators!
Varnes over 12 years ago
Otto, it only makes sense if you understand economics..Gas is more expensive in other places. Why would an oil company sell it here at a lower twice….Believe it or not, The US exports 400,000 gallons of gas a day. Only oil companies get to decide where it goes….The US government doen’t have say in it. That’s the way capitalism works…supply and demand…..BTW, there is more oil being pumped in the US than ever in history…

Newt just got secret service. Think it has to do with the crocs?
djmando over 12 years ago
Down with the amphibians!!!!!!
nighthawk13 over 12 years ago
it would be a wonder if he could use his gills, given all that fat must have covered them up…
Dan Christopher over 12 years ago
I think you should get Newt’s wife in on the action.
jammasterjim over 12 years ago
This is basically the crocs as birthers, or birthers as crocs. Genius.

The last time the Repubs were firmly in power they threatened to eliminate the filibuster.Why couldn’t they have been dumb enough to do it? WHY??
pnorman1 over 12 years ago
TTM, the 58 votes in the Senate you credit the Demos is based upon the caucus vote. This vote number is really only valid for determining committee chairmanships. In reality the Demos weren’t likely to deliver their entire caucus in any procedural vote like over riding a filibuster. Unlike their opposition, the Demos actually had some political diversity i.e. conservatives like the Blue Dog Democrats who were just as likely to vote with the Republicans as they were with the Administration. I’m hard pressed to think of a “moderate” Republican let alone a liberal.
comicnut4636 over 12 years ago
If I had just started reading this comic I would stop now but, I"ve been it reading for a long time now and I KNOW this CAN’T keep going like this.
PLEASE, Mr. Pastis get funny again!!
PLEASE!!!
THANK YOU

I’m just wondering how Alice and Wally got time off to attend the speech.
codedaddy over 12 years ago
How readily most of you succumb to the redirection of the cartoon strip comments to a forum on politics. Let’s stay on point, folks. Very few of you impress other readers, or even yourself, just to prattle on and see your name in print.
pacmandreaming over 12 years ago
Unfortunately, it is now.
