FOOB: The Big Day Is Here
Cross posted, in briefer form, at the FOOBiverse
My first observation about today’s strip is that whoever produced the art must have been hitting the bottle, the bong, or both. I mean, talk about minimal effort: this is a slapped together rough draft, if that. The background characters in every panel are barely doodles, and [...]

is Mike Fitzpatrick a crook?
Bucks County Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick has raised more than $200,000 in campaign contributions from political action committees linked to convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his Native American tribal clients, according to a Courier Times analysis of his campaign finances.

And also, incidentally, from porn queen Mary Carey, not that that’s [...]

I called about 175 MoveOn members, and got three of them to commit to calling likely voters in crucial races for an hour this week. I was unable to get any to commit to calling for an hour a day during the last five [...]
No Good Turn Goes Unpunished.
As I pointed out yesterday, April Patterson is an ungrateful jerk. Her former bandmate Becky gives April’s self-described “cruddy” band an opportunity other bands would likely kill for, and what does she get for her efforts? Not only does April talk smack behind the girl’s back her sheer jealousy at Becky’s success drives [...]
