What's Mallard raving about today?
Guessing
On the evidence of roughly 2000 Mallard Fillmore strips, today's strip is true. A random dude in a bar is far more likely to have a better guess at virtually any topic than Mallard.
I'm not sure that's what Mallard was getting at, but as he hasn't seen fit to provide any means for deciphering, we'll go with literal reading.

I haz a confused. The random guy in the bar doesn't have any of the tell-tale sings of being an elitist librul, such as a ponytail or cross-eyes. Is the Tinsh admitting that his feathered doppelganger is a soused fool?
Today's "comic" is not funny, but then again, it is not hateful or based on a falsehood, so ... factoring the apparent use of a new drawing plus the lack of duckcrotch ... this has got to be the Best Mallard Fillmore Ever!
I think that this one actually has some humor, so agree that it may be one of the funniest MF ever (that was not unintentional). But I suspect that Tinsh got it from someone else, in a bar. Apparently he has already given up on all the "predictions" he was going to do, unless continued later.

I would have to agree with Random Guy in a Bar. After all, Ducky is one of the rare souls who is right LESS often than a stopped clock.
Getting the non-partisan, non-offensive, almost-funny strip out of the way early this year, eh, Brucie? I guess that's understandable, this being an election year. Gotta start transcribing those Fox News talking points!
And kudos for giving us a rare glimpse of Mallard in his natural habitat. I'd deduct points for not drawing a background, but you never do that anyway.
Since they're both staring at Mallard's glass, I thought this was some "half-empty/half-full" thing. But one glass is completely full and the other empty...Sorry, I'm baffled. Anybody's guess is as good as Random Guy's.
The "phrase of the day" on Tinsley's therapist's calendar two weeks ago was "educated guess." So naturally, Tinsley flew into a tantrum because education is worthless and people who have them are fuzzy-thinking commie rats who plot against our nation.
("They're also arrogant snobs," Mallard said with his trademark smug smirk.)
If you think about it, "your guess is as good as mine" would easily fall under the wrong-wing's broad definition of socialism when they want it to, yet treating all opinions as somehow equally valid is what gave the world dittoheads, Texas textbooks, and people who vote for the candidate with whom they'd most like to have a beer.
He was almost certainly going for "Your guess is as good as mine," and I'd agree with rewinn on it being one of the best MFs ever.
Not that it had a high bar.
What kind of whacked-out urinal are they standing at?
Now I'm confused. Did I comment on this in the wrong post?
What kind of weird urinal are those two standing at?
