Mitt Romney’s Jerk Advice for Jerkface Bullies
Wednesday, May 16th, 2012 by Matt Bors
So Mitt Romney is a bigger jerk face than you thought just last week. Trying to break through his image as wooden technocrat, his wife and campaign started reminiscing about his wild, fun, and prank-filled youth. Turns out “pranks” means pretty jerky behavior–assault in the one case–and he ends up looking like a mean-spirited, entitled rich kid who thinks others are beneath him. Fast forward to “I like being able to fire people.”
I don’t like to forever hold people accountable for things they did in high school. Bullies can be forgiven… if they seek it. Romney’s reaction–his lie–about not recalling the incident was a missed opportunity to just be a human being owning up to something they did wrong. Instead he’s a jerk face.
Note that the Charles Atlas photo is taken directly from the famous ad and no Photoshop doctoring has been done. That’s not Mitt’s head on there!
As a bonus, here’s a sketch I did that was going to be a parody of right-wing cartoons but then I switched ideas at the last minute.
The Herminator
Friday, November 11th, 2011 by Matt Bors
Multiple women claim to have been sexually harassed by Herman Cain in the late 90s. He says this is false and part of an effort to destroy his candidacy even though the women registered their complaints over a decade ago. Cain is an honorable man running for office who would in no way lie to further himself. Therefore, a time traveling robot sent by George Soros seems like the only logical explanation for all this.

Tax You All Harassment (say it fast)
Friday, November 4th, 2011 by Matt Bors
Herman Cain doesn’t sexually harass women, he just wants to tax that ass.
This is my first comic on the pizza-slinger-turned-presidential-frontrunner, and maybe the last if his candidacy continues to unravel at this pace. I’m a little sad about that. I’d like the most outrageous and absurd candidates to succeed–for my own job security and to fully expose our corrupt election system by pushing us into Idiocracy territory. I’ve been mostly avoiding campaign coverage in favor of Occupy Wall Street and other things that are relevant to our lives, but the sexual harassment charges allowed me to comment on Cain’s cruel 999 tax plan.
We’re hearing these days that Occupy is disjointed and incoherent. Well, they are doing better than the Tea Party–the Taxed Enough Already Party–whose chosen candidate will increase taxes for most of them. As Cain’s “soak the middle class” tax plan became evident to everyone except the Taxed Enough Already tax haters, he was forced to bullshit quickly–something we’re seeing he’s very good at.
His solution for the poor? Creating of “Opportunity Zones” in inner cities that would abolish most regulations working people have come to enjoy over the last hundred years. Haiti’s sweatshops basically operate in these types of zones (Thanks Clinton!) and look how well they’re doing. There were rumors Cain lifted the 999 Plan from Sim City. The Impoverished Labor Ghetto plan seems pulled from a dystopian science fiction novel. Or even a visit to China, which he could use, seeing as how he doesn’t know they have nukes.
If Herman Cain’s words and behavior make me fear for the future and not want to reproduce, does that qualify as a form of harassment?
