6/5: Doubling down on the camel. Meanwhile, commenters at MF are presently tense over the outrage of freeing Bergdahl (who goes instantly from being the poster boy of Our Brave Lads Abandoned by Obummer to Exhibit A for Obumberghazi Losing the Next Three Wars by Trading Five Osama McKhomeinis for a Traitor We Never Wanted to See Again).

How proud he'd be to know that today, his generation's sacrifices would be rewarded by 2 identical pictures of a dead-eyed pantsless duck!
6/7: Good Grief, more camels. Well, I guess it was his chance to suggest the word CRAP in his comic — I mean, suggest it outright. Obviously, he suggests it every day, tacitly. I'm sure he's getting a round of backslaps at the National Organization Insinuating Delightfully Egregious Acronyms Saucily.

I mean, VA hospitals were known to be shitty in the '80s. I doubt the Tinsh was prepared to get so worked up about it then. He was pretty quiet when the previous occupant of the White House was creating a whole lot of new combat veterans.
I'm surprised that Brucie hasn't bestowed us with several weeks of grade A material about Sekrit Muslin Traitor Bergdahl who's working in tandem with Secret Muslin Obummer.
You'd think he couldn't wait to proudly display his erection all over anything that makes the scary black man look bad. I guess he's still working on jokes about things that happened six months ago.
"... ignorant bigots who figure it's easier to scream slurs than to debate facts."
It's Always Projection, isn't it, Mallard?
Apparently, someone called Bruce a "hater" three weeks ago and it so grievously injured his widdle fee-fees that he decided to use it as a platform from which to launch a campaign of I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I???
Re June 18: Ohhhh, now I see what this is all about: "It's not fair that the n****rs get to call each other n****rs but I can't call them n****rs!!"
And if you had a microgram of self-awareness, Mallard/Bruce, you'd realize that shouting slurs as "a substitute for rational debate" is a conservative sacrament -- and moreover, it's what you and your media heroes do for a living.
6/19: Paralleling the brilliancy of Mallard's reasoning, the commenters at his page are not proving that they are indeed the Grandmasters Of Projection by claiming that liberals insult first.
No, those are terms conservatives use for people they have perfectly legitimate grounds for disagreeing with (said grounds being that the person disagreed with a conservative). Conservatives, by mathematical definition, cannot be idiots. Only liberals can be idiots, and only idiots can be liberals. Don't be a liberal idiot who is an idiot liberal. Switch to DirecTV.
(And yet, that argument, despite being a deliberately stupid parody of modern conservative "thought", is still more coherent than actual conservative "thought".)

6/23: Obama is all-powerful and impotent, and if he frees a POW in one country, he should free a common criminal in another. Once he does, of course, they'll try and bite his head off for it. Because he's a… well, because he's from… uh… CHICAGO.
All I got was Mallard asking a Stereotypical Gen Xer how it feels to know that her generation is the most narcissistic in the history of history itself, and her asking him to let her take a selfie of herself answering that. I didn't know how lucky I was.
Re June 23: When I Googled "Tahmooressi", the first two items were from Fox News, so that explains why Mallard/Bruce knows who this guy is. Even so, it must have taken hours of his valuable "research" time for him to find someone who seemed to be a parallel to Bowe Bergdahl so that he could use that person as a club against Obama.
And what you owe your readers an apology for, Mallard, is being a hypocritical, opportunistic, pathologically dishonest sack of shit.

The Herald-Mail reran the "Before Paleo..." strip from May 24. The strip I mentioned yesterday must've been from May 23. It doesn't sound like I'm missing anything except the opportunity to kill some perfectly good brain cells, which later evacuate via the urethra.

Jesus Christ, Brews. If you blow that dog whistle any harder, you'll pop your eardrums.
Then again, to the people in Arizona who keep re-electing Good Ole' Sheriff Joe, those poor starving Mexican kids who barely make it here alive are pretty much the same thing as wild dogs that need to be sterilized and euthanized.
I believe the dogwhistling is maybe not as effective as the Tinsh surely wants to think: What kind of frightened little dickless wonder gets worked up over feral chihuahuas?
Sorry, Bruce -- one vaguely cute and innocuous strip doesn't make up for weeks' worth of strips filled with stupidity and bile. Nice try, though.
My only question today is if you're going to draw undue attention to yourself by weighing in on the latest imagined Miscarriage of Justice perpetrated against your little hero, Dirty Harry Junior.
Those comments are nationwide. The syndicate has a feed that goes to all the papers that carry it. So those comments represent the cream of the Mallard readers throughout the whole country.

June 4: Fucking Hell, I was so horribly wrong. Camels are mindless animals, they do not care if you hate them as long as you feed them. Foreigners are humans with abstract thought and emotions, thus your transcendent racism offends even though you think they are worse than camels.

June 8: Most of the presidents took office when more than 50 years old, and lifespans and quality of life have increased significantly since that time.
June 13: Tinsley thinks of Black guys as gangsters and idiots, but he would never use racial slurs against them, right?

Kip, I think "CRAP" may be aimed at the same target as BAIR.
Tinsh, you can harp on this camel thing all you want. It's not going to make me curious enough to find out what the hell you're talking about.
6/9 - Ooo, Brews, if your ill-tempered pantsless duck didn't attract the attention of Disney's trademark-protection attorneys, today's strip will.
Unless, that is, they consider whatever the hell this is you do too insignificant for them to bother with.
I think this falls under 'humorous intent.' To conservatives, as long as you're slagging someone else, it's humor.

See a doctor, Mallard.
I'm curious as to how Bruce settled on the sobriquet "VA Hospital System".
Easiest explanation: too lazy to look up what something is actually called at the risk of sounding ignorant. (This explanation has broad application.)
6/11: Mallard (to evil government): Why aren't YOU doing more to help these people? What do you do with all the taxes my rich pals and I evade paying, anyway?

Brucie, no one considers you a "hater." They consider you a "welfare king unfunny hack." It's totally different.
Even your hero Mr Nixon said "Don't get the impression that you arouse my anger. You see, one can only be angry with those he respects."
So when is Mallard going to reclaim "Lazy Pantsless Hackish Sot"?
