first of all:  LIE BOT!!!  hoooooray!
secondly:  ouch
third-a-lee:  there's GOT to be better ways to sound like Micky

i'm not so much a discussion participant . . . more like a cheerleader.

can I just say - this is everything I EVER wanted.

Serious political discourse meets nad tweaking.

Sorry America, btw...

this strip makes me so sad.

Although it's good that Philippe doesn't have to face the brutal experience of losing an election to someone dumber than him; he thinks he is saving Mickey.

it took me a few minutes to figure out what ray was doing

but looking back now, i think it was similar to my reaction to the election results, i just didn't want to accept what was going on. quite bizarre, to think that a cat could pull on his thong and sound like mickey penis. isn't there some kind of weird philosophical thing going on there, since cats and mice are supposed to be diametrically opposed and all?

i like this strip though. to me it says everything about the democratic process...the lies and corruption part of it anyway. well, that and the fact that our president acts like he's younger than phillippe half the time. that helps

I thought all those three things, too. Then I thought, "Wait, isn't Ray neutered?"

ah, Noah!  haven't we all wondered that eternal question at some point?  i think it was... Jan 21, 2002

alright, pubdoggy . . . that picture of the cat dressed as Ray.  too much realism.  i don't even connect it with ray, i have to look at it and think, that's a cat with ray's glasses and necklace . . . oh, yeah - ray is a cat.  

you know what i think it is?  doesn't capture the surliness.  couldn't you make that cat look surly?  i'm just playing.  i know it doesn't translate well to text, but i am.  if you heard me you'd know i'm messing around.

anyway back to the discussion:  so . . . nuts, huh?

I thought that that is kind of sweet actually.
I mean, even Liebot was willing to help out and make Philippe feel better. Then agan, maybe Ray just asked him to lie and he was more than happy to oblige...

I'd kill Mickey penis to bring about a Phillipe presidency.

Emeril would've been a safer choice because there's no way Philippe would let anything happen to him but it doesn't leave any room for rad chilis-based humor.

I think this might be the first time we've seen Lie bot use his powers for good instead of entertainment.

The alt-text implies this is something Ray does on an irregular basis. Did Lie-Bot go to Ray and say, "I have an idea, but I need you to do your nut-throttling trick for it to work" or did Ray go to Lie-Bot and say, "Hey, you think you can work the old nut-throttle in somewhere?"

I also needed a few moments to figure out what exactly Ray was yanking.

Good use of Lie Bot.  Interesting to see Lie Bot and Ray working together, though, after the whole Uncle Culpepper thing.

At first I thought he was playing with a yoyo and just 'yanked' the yoyo back up...then I got it.

This is good.

Full points to Instad for working out an end to the Philippe-for-President arc that doesn't involve Philippe's heart being broken and ends the joke pretty thoroughly. This is good.

Also, good to see Lie Bot's still kickin' around.
