i read it as the Dad, spoiling his son’s happiness by dumping these horrible facts if how bad the world is on him. i don’t see this being particularly biased to one political side or the other. they’re everyone’s problems.
Usually the comic leans pretty liberal, which I enjoy, but I’m not really sure what this one is. I thought it was a “stop the shit”/”Cut the crap” sort of thing but I could also be a spoiling of the child’s innocence thing.
Yeah, I wish we would stop propping up failing socialist regimes with aid money. That would get us out of debt REAL fast. Or fire half the federal government. Perhaps stop buying goods from China, where a brown sky is a GOOD day. And keep our commitments to our allies, unlike how we pulled out of Vietnam and 80′s Afghanistan.
Ah yes. A sound, time-honored solution to troubling economic times. Fire half the federal government: when losing a million jobs in the private sector JUST ISN’T ENOUGH.
Most political comics blame the government or the other party, this is more down to earth because the symbolic figure crapping on the next generation is just a person, we (basically) elected the people in power, and asked them to do most of what they are doing.

Um, gross. But accurate.

Nice Rock ‘em Sock ‘em homage.

sad but true! Stop it!
October 13th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Finally! I thought you had lost your “funny”. This one makes up for all that other IYSS dreck. I am glad that I stuck it out. Keep up the good work.

This would be perfect to place as someone’s screensaver without their knowledge.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
literally amazing.

Global Warming… pshshhhhh.. Who still buys into that drivel.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Not sure I buy it all, but it sure seems to feel that way…

Ever given any thought to being a professional political cartoonist, Bernie?
October 13th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
Why is he mooning his son, and what’s up with those Hershey’s Kisses?
October 13th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
oh man this made me laugh so much that i almost laid a global warming myself.
October 13th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Its the American way! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Sad but true cartoon- thats what happens when you let feckwits run your country…
October 13th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Shoulda had a dangly with the “Elect-” written on the exposed part. Let’s face it, that’s the next thing to be squeezed out.
October 13th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Huh?
October 14th, 2008 at 12:04 am
No wonder the world hates you, with a governening system so openly allowing corruption.
October 14th, 2008 at 1:14 am
please….go back to alp. this hasnt been funny yet.
October 14th, 2008 at 1:25 am
Don’t listen to the imbeciles begging you to stop this and going back to alp. I like IYSS.

I guess the only people who liked this are Republican Americans. If you did wrong, don’t complain too much if the world rubs that shit in your face.
October 14th, 2008 at 7:14 am
@ nick,
I am Australian and I find this comic (and the whole site) funny.
Keep up the great work, Bernz

i think theres a bit of the generational thing, as in Dad’s generation is pooing on the kid’s generation with all the crap.
And whats this about Republicans? Who buys into that anymore anyway? ;-)
October 16th, 2008 at 9:28 am
I like the poster from “cars”!
October 16th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Amazing Bernie! I thought IYSS was going to be lame, but it’s getting to be as good as aLp, and though I miss aLp, keep up with IYSS!
