Johnny Optimism
Check out Stilton Jarlsberg's other webcomic "Johnny Optimism!" Updates M-W-F!
In the face of a collapsing economy, rampant unemployment, and global instability, Barack Hussein Obama took office in 2008 promising Hope and Change. The "Hope" thing didn't really work out, but we got plenty of "Change" as everything got worse. And now, the jug-eared jackass has a second term.
That's why at Hope n' Change Cartoons, we're creating conservative smartaleckry to provide a little laughter in these strange times. Cartoons will probably be posted Monday and Wednesday, and definitely on Friday. Additionally, cartoons and graphics will be posted randomly on our Facebook page and Friday we'll add the week's postings right here to kick around in one of the greatest comments sections on the Web.Note: please feel free to repost our cartoons on your favorite blogs!
Your cartoon reminded me of an "Uncle Arthur" story about the selfish boy who always took the biggest and the best. One day his aunt sabotaged the dinner and everything he grabbed was rotten or bad tasting. It finished with him taking the biggest piece of chocolate and it was bitter and had no sugar. It was an old-fashioned teaching moment. But that was back in the 50's when there were consequences to actions.
Earl; Consequences still exist they just aren't as immediate as they were "back in the day". Gratification, however, is expected to be IMMMEDIATE and ongoing.
I just turned on the radio; obama has just resigned!!!
April fool....
Hope all is a well as could be expected, Dr. J. And don't worry about posting unless you really feel like it and want to... and short ones are good too. Buck ofama says a lot!
and now, this being National Politicians Days ... well, they tried to rename it, we go by the old name "April Fools" -- but still, let us celebrate by putting all the politicos on a merry go round and spin it really fast -- and see who can hang on the longest. And who knows how much much change centrifugal force will spit out of their pockets!
By the way, I've announced the creation of The Gay Republic in northwest Mexico -- it'll solve so many problems -- well, I posted the announcement at my blog -- and well, now I can finally grow up to be president!
@Pete, A word of advice from someone with experience in these matters... don't quit your day job just yet. And I still have not made the connection between bunnies and eggs. I guess the small, round things that real bunnies leave behind aren't all that appetizing or something.
@TheBigHenry, Actually (not to be a know it all), there should be an apostrophe for each missing letter, so it would be Hope 'n' Change. This means those of us who can't bear to type the name that Crap Weasel is currently calling himself could just substitute '. Fitting that a missing president should be represented by an apostrophe.
@Earl- Hey, I love the Uncle Arthur stories! They're actually great morality tales in sort of a creepy, twilight-zone way. I think the book should still be taught in schools.
@Gang of One- I'm not religious at all (not even quite an agnostic), and yet I think the church is the biggest organizing principle for good and morality in the world. As such, I celebrate religious holidays (well, not Ramadan) and am a fierce advocate of religious freedom.
@Jim Hlavac- Congratulations on creating The Gay Republic of Northwest Mexico. I'm sure the flag will be fabulous! (grin)
@The Big Henry- I played with "Hope 'n Change, and "Hope 'n' Change," and "Hope'n'Change," and none of them looked right. So I'm surely breaking a rule or three of grammar, but still like the current idiosyncratic spelling.
@Colby- Okay, now you've got me thinking that Hope'n'Change looks good - but I'll be darned if I'm going to go back and change the headers on 4+ years of cartoons!
@CenTexTim -- thank you for your submission. As chairman of the committee I must reject it. I mean, 3 Caballeros? No, while we in the Republic are in disagreement yet, something with just two caballeros, and a tad more, um, militant would be better, we think. Or maybe the Ode to Joy. Yours, Jim.
BTW, in case it wasn't made clear by my previous comment, I'm a big fan!
Sorry to hear that family issues are precluding your continued excellence in exposing the Poser-in-Chief! Hope your personal issues get resolved in your favor. Soon!
If you do manage to get back in full stride, I humbly suggest a new theme for your excellent series: Something along the lines of
"How's that Hopey-Dopey horseshit working for your?"

Happy Easter, S.J.!
Happy Easter to you Dr. J & all the readership here at Hn'C.
Which came first - the chocolate Easter bunny or the chocolate egg?
Happy Easter to all, and to all a good night!
Oh, wait...

I like the picture. The "New Hope" ( a false one) contrasted to the true Eternal Hope. God bless you all.
Jesus is the THE REASON!
Yep, Happy Easter!

For an agnostic, you sure know a thing or two about truth!
Prayers and blessings to you and yours, Doctor.
Happy Easter to you all ...

Cheers and merry to all....
What's cute and furry, and lives on the bottom of the ocean?
The Oyster Bunny
yeah, I got nothing...
@Jim H - maybe you can use this song as the anthem for your new Gay Republic... :-)
AMEN!! Love the graphics. Hope y'all had a wonderful Sunday. Still keeping y'all in our prayers too. :)
He is Risen! God bless (and forgive) America.
Not really on topic, but ...
In the title "Hope n' Change", shouldn't the apostrophe (grammatically speaking) be placed before the lowercase "n", NOT after it?
Just sayin' ...

@Readers- Enjoyable comments as always!

@Stilton & The BigHenry ~ All these symantics are way over my head but they make me want to go make some Hoppin Joe. :)

@Stilton Jarlsberg:
No biggie, obviously. I just can't help noticing stuff like that. Could be I'm just a tad anal retentive ...
