JIB-JAB
After all the raw humor, the dirty politics, the nastiness that we've seen in this political campaign, it is great to come across some political humor that is just plain good clean fun! These brothers, the creators of these two animated cartoons, deserve the greatest credit of any commentators during the past few months. I cannot praise them highly enough. There isn't a word in the English language that would cover their accomplishment. They are literally geniuses. If, after this election, we could come back together as a nation as clean and refreshing as the message that comes from these cartoons, I would say that we are truly the greatest nation in the world. However, I know the enemity and hatred that came from the last one and I hold little hope for their message to shine forth after this one.

That sense of innocense that we had so many years ago in our humor, the sense of fun and enjoyment, is certainly not found in many comics or cartoons. Calvin and Hobbs had it a few years back, and certainly ZITS has it today, but they were not political in nature, not satire, as JIB-JAB. My hat is off to them.

Independent thoughts. Politically incorrect? So what! Freedom of speech is just that, freedom of speech. Many Universities no long seem to subscribe to the Second Amendment. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA WRIT SMALL. (Theodore Dalrymple).

Name:Howarde

Location:Solvang, California, United States

Born in Ohio in 1924, which leaves the arithmetic to you. Raised in New Jersey on the banks of the Hudson River, where I often watched all the activities on the river, such as maiden voyages of the English liner, S.S. Queen Mary and the French liner, S.S. Normandie, the large vessels docking on the N.Y. side of the river. Spent five years at sea as a Merchant Seaman, rank of Purser. Sort of like roaming the world during and after WWII.
