:( i don't want philippe to become a hard-nosed rightwinger. hard-nosed rightwingers don't do hugs. or special friends. then again, maybe he'll get elected with his new politics and cash flow, then use his presidential powers for love instead of evil.

See, am I the only one thinking that it was inevitable that the two arcs which would have both done best as a single gag strip were inevitably going to intersect?

I dunno. I just suspect that Lazarus is swiftly wearing out his welcome with me.

How will Beef react to this development? Will he fight the powers of Ray or resign as campaign manager?

And what's the deal with the maakies link?

The difference being Barry Bass was dumped after the third day while Lazarus has stayed on.

Lazarus has proved he can stay on a cat paw for a long time; if the shoe got flushed Barry could get it on his fin and use his new-found business powers to have his revenge. What fun.

but then, i've been hitting the vodka pretty hard. respect, everyone.

Just because Lazarus is ruthless, does that mean he's conservative? He may see the business potential in stem cell research. I'm just sayin'.

ok , 1st panel, Ray seems to be floating about four inches off the green or so, no?

maybe i'm not aware of complex golf shadows.

or, maybe i'm just too drunk and observant.
that is so not a word, you DICK

I think that's the divot Ray just cut, not the shadow of his shoe.

Why not?  Messageboard-tyrant is probably just as relevant (or irrelevant) experience for being president as being governor of a state.  In fact I'll bet Jough's already got a foreign policy.

If you win can I be Secretary of the Interior? I don't really understand what it is but I know it sometimes has something to do with wild animals.

I totally call head of the NSA. Or maybe chairman of the joint chiefs of staff? Or a SCOTUS appointee? Where would be best to wield massive power with little to no public accountability?

Wow, it's tough to type with one hand asleep.

Unfortunately, I cannot run for president YET, as I am not 35 years of age.

But I suppose it's never too early to start the "Dempsey 2008" campaign.

I'm still picking out several first ladies.

Title: Lazarus's Politics - 9 March 2004
Post by: wombat on March 11, 2004, 11:21:54 am

I'd settle for second or third lady.  Probably just as well, spend less time standing around at vacuous events wearing a fixed unnatural smile and an ugly pastel dress.

Post by: jay-ell on March 11, 2004, 04:27:22 pm

Ooooh, oooh!  Dibsies on Chief of Staff!  

And Wombat, I'm surprised you didn't call First Lady ;)

[Edit: Dammit, I did that thing again where I replied *before* reading the second page.  It wouldn't matter so much if I didn't always make the most obvious joke...]

Well, I am just getting caught up on the message board.

What I really love about this strip is that it's totally the kind of conversation you'd expect from two important, powerful, rich and politically influential businessmen.  But, it's taking place between a thong wearing cat standing on two legs while golfing and his shoe.  His only shoe.  A talking shoe.

Favorite line: "Don't talk during my swing."  It fits so perfectly.

Post by: slink on March 16, 2004, 05:26:25 pm

If the Drug Sultan needs a drug tester, i.e. minimal effort, lots of drugs.
Let me rephrase that actually, since I've grown up...
If the Drug Sultan needs a pot tester...

Maybe a whiskey tester for the President himself too.

Yea. Whiskey, pot and food testing.

Oh yea.

If it had to be serious I'd have to be like, the Minister for Music or some shit. Maybe Minister for Internal Conflict to try and keep the rest of the world out of harm.

Damn.  Reëvaluating my choice of role.  Perhaps I could be the Tim-Leary-kind of Mad Scientist.  Yes, that'd do.
