Zipper: I can't believe Jeff-dawg didn't throw in with us... Zonker: Well, he's got his own thing going on now. He's living the literary life! Zipper: Well, it's his loss! It just means more for us! Zonker: Dude, we're not pirates. Zipper: Right. I keep forgetting it's legal.

Legality takes all the fun out of it !More fun, when you had that little titillation, the mental erection, brought on be the fear of doing something sinful or illegal.

“Legal and Illegal” never should replace “Right and Wrong” in people’s heads. The two have never been, nor ever will be, synonymous. Just because something is wrong, doesn’t mean it should be illegal. Just because something is legal, that doesn’t mean it is right. Amazing how few people seem to understand this distinction. And no, this thought has almost nothing to do with the cartoon.

It is not legal. It is still a federal crime. Minor point, I suppose.

I’d feel more confident about their prospects if this car were pointed to the left.

Pres. Obama is no coward, he is a hard line Conservative and they love freedom of business but hate freedom of individuals. Such types consider themselves very moral. No matter how many people they kill and imprison for life without legal action.…………………………………………………………………..I do believe you are confused. Obama is the exact opposite of ‘Conservative.’ Your concept of ‘Conservative’ describes the Republicansto a T. And, as I recall, Obama didn’t start the wars — he inherited them, and ended them! And he didn’tcreate Gitmo.

I have been believing that philosophy for years. But you’ve got the wording a bit mixed up. The maxim I created (as far as I know, since I’ve never heard anyone else say it) goes: “Just because it’s legal doesn’t make it right, and just because it’s illegal doesn’t make it wrong.”

It would be helpful if you did a little research before blaming the Bengasi fiasco on budget restrictions. Check the WSJ or Washington Post for some facts. Check the independent sources not a pant-load politician’s pandering excuse.

To get back to the subject of today’s strip … I know people who grow pot in Northern California, and there’s a glut. You can’t give it away right now. Our two entrepreneurs are going to fail, but you could have guessed that.
