you're a jerk
Great cartoon.
Looks like you're trying to pack a lot of new material in!
Gee "Anonymous" why don't you explain WHY you think he's a jerk? I think its a very amusing cartoon myself, and an apt depiction of Bush and Cheney.
I'll bet you're also the type of person who goes into art museums and say "that sucks" about the paintings.
yeah anon.....what is your problem?
IN CASE YOU FORGOT, WE LIVE IN AMERICA!
mr. borgman can illustrate whatever he wants, its a free country!
well anonymous, what you FAIL to realize is that i live in america too, so if i want to call him a JERK, then i will do so.
i dont know what makes him so special that he gets to be paid to draw what he thinks on whatever topic he feels like.
An argument between two anonymous posters? I find find this really funny.
Even funnier if it was the same guy with multiple personalities.
BTW - great cartoon. Love the bats.
"i(sic) dont (double sic) know what makes him so special that he gets to be paid to draw what he thinks on whatever topic he feels like."
Let's see... Jim Borgman is talented, humorous, insightful, and a great communicator. He, Peter Bronson, and Paul Daugherty are the main reasons I read the Enquirer.
"what makes him so special that he gets to be paid to draw what he thinks on whatever topic he feels like."
That's the Enquirer's choice to make. For that matter, what makes Marty Brennaman so special that he gets to comment on the Reds? Or Mark Russell on politics? Those who hired each of them value their views, opinions, and ability to creatively express themselves.
The fact that Jim's been with the Enquirer for 30 years in not only a high-turnover career fraught with corporate restructuring, but also a time when few jobs are certain for 30 years says a LOT. So lets leave the Enquirer's hiring practices to the Enquirer's HR people huh?
Marty Brenneman can comment on the reds because he knows everything there is to know about baseball.
jim borgman can draw but there is no special insight behind any of his drawings. It isn't anymore intelligent then the opinion of any normal person.
"...jim borgman can draw but there is no special insight behind any of his drawings. It isn't anymore intelligent then the opinion of any normal person..."
...hmmm - if I wanted "special insight", according to this anonymous, I'd apparently have to ask him, Bush, Cheney, Rash Limbo, or any member of the US Senate (with the exception of the junior senator from Wisconsin)...
...but since I want to chuckle over the news, rather than get to the point where I want to smash my television with a baseball bat or be unable to have a civilised discourse, I'll take Jim, or the junior senator from Wisconsin, any day :)
I'm acmebetatest from Minneapolis....
