Get ready for some Herblock cartoons! These are from the 1930s, during the Great Depression.

None of the Republican body/Boehnor is designed to handle immigration. I don't know if that is the intended interpretation or AGC.

I think it's implying Boehnor has brain damage since he's a peepee doodoo RINO.

Somehow, I still find this slightly better than Ramirez's artwork. At least stick figures are recognizable as human.

Yeah, Herblock lived long enough to draw cartoons about Herbert Hoover, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush 41, Clinton, and pre-9/11 Bush 43. That's quite a career he had.

Feel like it's more of a "You moron, don't you see! The only way that immigration matters is in who it scores political points for, and it scores points for the OTHER guy!"

See the McCoy cartoon where the elephant and donkey are both offering free stuff and ugh wouldn't you believe the elephant gets trampled by those ungrateful immigrants that we've been degrading and otherizing for years.

An executive order freed the slaves, so conservatives are understandably frightened of Presidential power no matter how seldom used.

I swear to God that is not an edit. Muir wrote and published that. No, he is not insecure. Ladies love his penis. Really. They do. Shut up.

Oh god I know I did a Day by Penis-esque edit of this one, but I'm away from my home computer and have no idea what page it's on. Loquacious, would you mind digging it up and reposting it?

A man died near a fire station but the firefighters didn't have the clearance to help him.

I still can't believe Toles uses a little portrait of himself in the corner even when he has nothing to say. The comment in this cartoon is indistinguishable from one of Kelly's.

The Rosetta line is the "they seem to be all around us" one. Basically, the stinking filthy TRAITOR RINOs in congress are seeking out the Brave Wholesome Tea Party Rebel Base, only to find that those paragons of Rightness surround them--just like the Prophet Beck stated. So the RINOs fear the republican base...which is kinda true, from a certain point of view.
